I didn’t like Hook even before he abused Belle.
He came off as a cocky, in love with with himself, bully with a Casanova complex.
He loved Milah – what kind of person loves and respects a woman who could just turn her back on her son and walk away from him, for her own selfish reasons – that says something about what kind of ‘person’ he is, too.
I know he’s essential to the plot, for the time being, so, I tolerate him.
But, in his case, I’m glad K&H aren’t afraid to kill off characters, with the flick of their pen, when he/she is no longer needed on the show to move the plot along.
And the fact that Colin has a huge twitter following has absolutely nothing to do with anything….I’m condemning the character and his actions, not the actor.
