Re: Is Neal really dead?

I also think it was quite obvious the last few eps when she said she was over Neal that that wasn’t complete truth. At best, I think she was completely confused. So during the portal scene it wasn’t her admission of loving him that sold me that Emma really loved Neal, it was her reaction when he said he loved her. That smile. Laugh. The crying laugh/smile or whatever you want to call it. That was heartbreaking. Because that was the moment the walls came completely crashing down. I can’t really express the awesomeness of that little moment, but you get the idea…

So anyway, back to the triangle. If it goes that Emma believes he’s dead and then she starts this thing with Hook it’s… I can’t see it happening. I really can’t. Even if she thinks he’s dead. I guess it all depends on how much time passes. When we come back in S3 and it’s only been a day or something and they start this thing, it’s going to be weird. And unrealistic. Because it took Emma 10 years after Neal left her to open her heart again, to Graham. And that was when she thought Neal didn’t even love her. That was her just protecting herself. But this time, she knows she loves Neal and that Neal loves her and she’s just going to go to the next guy? There would need to be a mourning period. At least six months, maybe more, I don’t know.

Completely agree with you. It would be disappointed if Emma does that. I don’t think that is her character at all. Emma is not the type that needs a man in order to be whole. If Neal/Bae and Emma are true love, it cannot be like that…. It would make true love to be so cheap for me, or is it a true love at all.
