The writers are committing character assassination of the Charmings and everything that makes them likeable: their goodness and family love! Good thing Neal died before they could totally ruin him.
That u think, with this show and writers, and level of fan service, they can still ruin Neal even with him death, but then again, that would mean that they need to mention him, and they wont do that.Although, erase him from the show, is another way to ruin the character, saying he was not important to anyone, i guess abandoned in life and in death, this so screams hope and family show, if your life is a hell in life will all be a hell in death, bc no one will care that u died. UGH!!!
