Hollywood Reporter Moody Tink article

Thanks for posting.

I hope Tink gets her wings back.

Really excited to learn what Tink’s history is with NL/PP and Hook

She probably knows about Hook and Bae’s connection. Perhaps Tinkerbell is the one to spill the beans about Hook having been in love with Bae’s mommy, Milha.

If she’s the one leading everyone to the Dark Hollows, maybe. But honestly, my money is on Hook opening up and telling Emma.

That was a great interview.

She probably knows about Hook and Bae’s connection. Perhaps Tinkerbell is the one to spill the beans about Hook having been in love with Bae’s mommy, Milha.

I could see that happening, judging by the “see how she helps or doesn’t help” comment. It wouldn’t be all that helpful to the situation getting resolved in a mature way if she’s blurting out secrets. I would rather see Hook tell Emma these things. Maybe Tink will get snarky and drop some hints, maybe she assumes that Emma already knows, and then Hook can still be the one to actually reveal the details. I think it’s important for his character growth that he owns up to the full truth of his role in Nealfire’s life.

With Tinker Bell in Neverland, what’s the likelihood of her and Regina going back to their past friendship?

For Regina, to have anybody who’s really understood her well and has seen her fall, they have a complex history and they shared so much that there’s a real love between them because of that. I don’t know if it’s all smooth sailing, there’s going to be hiccups but they’ve invested enough in each other that you’re certainly able to hope they can keep their relationship moving forward.

I hope they can rekindle their friendship, because Lord knows Regina can do with a loyal friend.

Maybe I am confused, but what should Tink tell? Bae learned from Hook when he came to Neverland, that Hook was in love with Milah, and that his father killed her and that Hook was on a revenge quest (final episode of season 2). Hook told in the Echo chamber of secrets, that he thought he couldn’t move on from his love Milah, but that he now did and fell in love with Emma. Maybe Neal didn’t hear at all, but he already knew about Milah. And doubt that the Charming didn’t get it. What more beans about Hook and Milah are there to spill for Tink?

It hasn’t been confirmed on the show yet that Emma has put it all together and realises that Hook’s Milah = Neal’s mother. She also definitely has no idea that Hook handed him over to Pan back in the day, and that’s also something that Tink would know about. These are things that Emma really should be made aware of, especially if Hook’s hoping to start up a relationship with her. Tink also probably knows what Hook used to do for Pan back in the days when he worked for him, and that’s something that’s still to be revealed to the audience, so it’s bound to come up amongst the characters somehow, and it’s bound to be something not good. Basically, the guy has some big secrets that could very well affect what Emma thinks of him, they’re all things that Tink would know, and those secrets will have to be revealed at some point.

Neal is still someone Emma loves, whatever you think of the degree of their relationship, so it might be of concern to her to learn the less savory details of how Hook and Neal knew each other, including of course, the start and  ending to their “time together”.   She might not know how Hook and Milah sailed off, which led to Neal being left alone with his crippled singled dad and told his mother was killed by pirates.  She might not know about Hook handing over Bae to PP, or  the genuine sea change in emotions Hook experienced back and forth over Bae (use him, protect him, use him….) or Bae over Hook (distrust him, trust him, distrust him…).

We don’t know if Emma knows, or if she would care that Milah is both Neal’s mother and Hook’s first love.  There are some reasons to think she knows, but it is has never been said on screen that way.  They always dance around it, like when Hook says Neal got his drawing talent from his mother, but doesn’t say “My Milah.”   For all she knows  Milah was Rumple’s daughter and therefore, Neal’s sister, so Hook knew of Neal’s mother from that.

I think it is possible that Hook tried to rescue Bae, which explains the less hostile reaction that Neal has had towards Hook in Manhattan.  I don’t know if he was successful as we think Neal left NL after the curse was cast, and clearly, Hook left before still on a path of vengeance.  So Tink may have some good things to reveal too, if Hook did try to rescue Bae and they emerged  with a wary friendship of sorts after 100’s of years stuck in NL, aside from the whole “still going to kill your father”  and “Still hate you if you do, because he’s still my dad, even if I am angry.” thing.

I speculated for a long time that Tink was a “newcommer” to NL, arriving well after Bae and Hook had been there, and may have played a role with how one or the other, or even both, left NL.  I suppose we’ll find out now if I was right, or whether Tink was there as a fairy then went back to the FTL  due to her “second chance” and met Regina, then went back to NL.  We know she wasn’t there all along one way or the other.

So Tink definitely knows some secrets, but whether they’re good or bad ones I guess we have to see!
