Morrison echoed her co-star’s sentiments and spilled that Emma is willing to do whatever it takes to reunite with Killian this year. “She’s in this really vulnerable place and I think she’d rather die than not be with him,” Morrison confessed. “I’m not the writers. I didn’t write that, but I just think that from her perspective she feels like the best version of her life will be with him.”
After reading what JMo actually said in context, I actually think it might have been a backhanded compliment. Maybe she is just as perplexed by Emma’s recent choice to put Hook ahead of Henry. It seems like she might be trying to distance herself from her character’s choices by emphasizing she is not to blame for the writers’ decisions so as to avoid conflict with fans who aren’t ardent supporters of CS.
