This thread is just to put your guess of who dies so that when the episode airs, we can see who guessed correctly.
My guess is Hook or Henry
Hook because they seemed to be trying to push the “man of honour” aspect with Hook in 3A so I think it would be fitting for Hook to die as a true “man of honour” by sacrificing himself for Neal, Emma or Henry.
Henry because he’s the show’s biggest plot device and his death would affect all the other characters.

January 31, 2014 at 6:06 pm #242020GrimmsisterParticipantI put my bet on our Charming lad David. Though it may be with trembling hands. Only based on the fact that He was suppossed to have been killed in the very first ep. when the curse hits and he is stabbed by the Queens soldiers, but the writing team desided too keep him then. This time around he might not be so lucky.
January 31, 2014 at 6:33 pm #242032awoovoParticipantAll evidence points to Neal.
– Not being seen at the showdown nor in the Hook/Henry scene both of which take place in 3×16.
– Kollie saying not only was the death filmed but the “jersey story” took place last week, and in the back you can see them setting up cameras for filming in the graveyard.
– Almost all the characters are wearing formal clothing appropriate for a funeral in the pics(sides Hook whom always wears the same costume).
– The person whom posted the story answered an ask saying a funeral was being filmed when she was on set, but has since deleted the ask.
– The cast present when the person went to set and spent the day with them included everyone but Robert, Michael, and Rebecca. However if Rumple is being controlled by the Witch and the Witch is responsible for the death it makes sense why they would not be there.
All evidence is unfortunately stacking up against Neal even though I don’t want anybody to die.
January 31, 2014 at 6:40 pm #242033RumplesGirlKeymasterEasy: the fandom dies (and then the show dies)
Every guess is based solely on how people think the story SHOULD play out based on how they think the story HAS played out. But fan perception of story differs wildly from how A and E are writing it. Everyone can point to a boatload of evidence of why it can’t be A” but should be “B” but that’s all conjecture based on how you feel about A and B’s overall importance.
Every piece of evidence needs to come with the caveat of “but I really don’t know because there is no way to know for sure.”
I have seen every theory under the sun for people from Hook to Regina to Neal to Charming to Henry. All of them make some amount of sense. And all of them also make no sense.
So whoever actually dies on SCREEN, I am only predicting this: this is more or less singling the death toll for ONCE. I can’t fathom any logical reason to kill any of these characters. Graham was killed to A) show how far Regina would go to keep the Curse intact and B) demonstrate just what you could loose by breaking the curse.

For storyline purposes, Belle’s death would give Gold so much to do (though it would be awful). Bae’s would as well, except that Belle is his rock and we saw that with her help (in the S2 finale), he was at least stable. Of course no doubt he would always have been shattered, but she would be there for him, loving him, helping him through it. Much as he adores his son, Bae is not Gold’s rock, not (as Bobby continues to put it) his emotional center, his strength. Without Belle, I think he’d just shatter and probably suffer a break down. There are many reasons not to kill her, of course………My gut tells me she’s safe, but barely.
Neal………and Hook.
Well really, it came down to a process of elimination. I don’t think anyone in the Charming family will ever die…..

That’s pretty dramatic……I’m not sure I agree. I don’t think ONCE has more than a year or two left anyway, but having little to do with the death,. I could find reasons for these characters to die, but just as many (or more) for reason to live, especially Belle and Bae. I will say that fans of the character who might already be ticked off may just end up quitting altogether (IMO, Belle/Rumbelle fans would be more likely to do this because they’re already on edge to say the least)
Of course, Belle generally gets zippo in terms of story and Rumbelle is hardly on, so she’s the most logical one.

What is it you always tell me, ‘that’s ok we can disagree.” 😉
It is dramatic so let me revise.
Yes, there are obviously reasons for characters to die: Snow dies in childbirth, Hook’s goes down with his ship, Belle is locked up in a tower and starved to death, Neal falls down a portal and actually dies this time. A and E can write any kind of death and clearly already have. What I mean is that it’s unnecessary. None of these characters are disposable. They all have some sort of story to tell be it redemption road or reaching redemption and then living as a new sort of person. They are a unit–a bizarre, totally messed up, insane little family unit of specialness. Fairy tales have loses but we’ve already killed Rumple’s father, Regina’s mother (and father), and Snow’s first protector (and father and mother). This little band–our little players–should be safe because there is far more story to tell with all of them.
Hook’s continued redemption and path of good form (leaving aside shipping)
Neal’s journey as a father and son (leaving aside shipping)
Regina’s journey to try and fill the hole in her heart
Rumple’s path to his happy ending with Nealfire and his happily ever after with Belle
Belle’s continued attempt to make Rumple a better man and make him go back to the best version of himself.
Henry’s journey into being a young man and learning that life isn’t black and white
Snow’s first steps at being a mother
Charming’s entire family history and being both father and king
And Emma…the freaking SAVIOR who is supposed to bring back the happy endings.
How does a savior bring back the happy endings if you take away any one of those characters?
So while yes, there are show and story reasons that A and E have come up with to justify killing one member of this little unit, in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t make sense and I think audience members are going to be turned off.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"January 31, 2014 at 7:44 pm #242044betsypaige24ParticipantRG, well I don’t completely disagree with you. I mean, I believe that if a character has more to give story wise alive than dead, then that character should live. I tend to think that death on shows is done for shock value, but then that’s dependent on the writing. LOST, at least until I quit, killed gratuitously…….
I personally despise Hook, I admit it (though I’m not wishing him dead); nothing he can do short of an astonishingly sincere apology to Belle can ever make me change my mind…….and I don’t necessarily find his story compelling at all. So, if he died, even if I’m not wishing for it, I wouldn’t be devastated. I just don’t buy his redemption story……at all. Frankly, the only redemption arc that has been at all believable (and gorgeous) has been Gold’s.
You kind of said it yourself actually – Belle SHOULD die. The only reasons you have her as needing to live are so she can help Gold. What about her journey? Her life? I’m all for her helping him, but she’s done that…… She can continue to alway support and love him, but if she doesn’t have a path in life or an identity, she’s really a complete waste. She’s my 2nd favorite character behind Gold and not far behind him at all; I adore her and I adore Emilie…..I’d be devastated if she died.
As to Rumbelle’s happy ending, frankly (and I posted this in their thread), given how they are written, they shouldn’t have one…….it would be untrue to how they are written. The longer version is, again, in their thread.
I think viewers are turned off already, frankly, and I’m very unhappy. I just don’t get how you spoil something like this, knowing that instead of exciting fans it’s going to worry them.
January 31, 2014 at 7:49 pm #242045PriceofMagicParticipantBelle should live and be happy with Rumple.
