Here’s the thing, I was sad about Graham at the time but then as time went on I felt like we didn’t have that much of him to grow too attached to. Which is why I worry about Neal but I don’t think it’ll be Rumple,Emma, Henry, etc they know which ones gone would affect the audience and Graham didn’t.
My concern as well…at first when MRJ said that he could possibly be returning next season if scheduling permitted I thought there was no way they would kill him off since he couldn’t be in flashbacks in FTL since that part is played by another actor but with this August flashback coming up and Neal being in it I see where they could have more our world flashbacks with Neal in them especially if Eion Bailey returns to the show and August and Neal saw each other more than we think.
I have also wondered if the seer at one point (when she was younger) prophesied Baelfire’s death and perhaps that is why Rumple was so intent on keeping him out of the ogre war and then went overboard protecting him once he had magic (to the point of turning someone into a snail and squashing them for a scraped knee). I don’t know it’s just that they said they had plans for Neal and thus far most of his storyline has revolved around his relationship with Emma and now with Rumple…it really hasn’t been about him…which makes me think that like Graham his character was designed for a specific purpose and we all know what happened to Graham.
Also something else makes me wonder if he won’t be around for very long…the writers(if I am recalling right) said that there were people that were not right for you, people you were meant to be with, and people you just choose. I think they said this in reference to Emma’s love life and that she would face all three.
But the one that you just choose…you can’t have someone that you just choose unless that is the person you actually choose. Makes me think that she can’t choose the one she was meant to be with for some reason so she has to choose someone else…which could mean that if Neal is really the one she was meant to be with then he must no longer be in the picture…kind wondering if he may not wind up being another Daniel. lol I hope that makes sense…not fully awake here.
