I thing Belle should stay too, she isn’t a main character in the show like Emma, Snow, etc. the orginal story is about Snow’s immediate family not about these side characters Belle, Hook, etc. they need to move the story forward with new characters.
Also, the fact that Rumbelle got to the final of Zimbio’s couple game shows that they are a very popular pairing, to separate them again after this season would be madness.
In fairness to this I would have voted for Snow and PC if I had known about this game. they really aren’t my favorite couple but I did vote for them only to get Once name out there more. 🙂
I don’t think of Belle and Hook as side characters, I consider them part of the main group. I agree that Snow’s family is at the center of the story but since day 1 the shows focus has always been on the other characters as well. I think if the main focus was only on the Charmings things would get quite dull. And the focus has been on the Charmings lately. I personally mainly watch for Rumpel, Regina, Belle, Hook, Nealfire so I’d like to see more of them right now than Snow and Charming.
I agree. The show’s focus has to be diverse. The story lines have to be diverse. If they’re not, viewers will lose interest. The same characters aren’t going to appeal to the same people on a consistent basis.
If Hook is not a main character, then I think he should be. He’s had a main-character impact on the audience. I wonder if the writers knew how much the audience would like him, when he was brought into the story?
As for Neal: I don’t think he’s made that impact yet, because he hasn’t had enough screen time….but there is huge potential there for him, as well. I like Neal, but for me, Hook’s in a category all his own.
