<br class=”Apple-interchange-newline” />If it were a sibling relationship, it might work, but would that make CS fans happy? The casting call said the girl comes from a <em style=”box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.74902);”>broken home (i.e. divorce or split up). Broken isn’t generally used to describe a family in which a parent has died since the parents would still be together were it not for one of them passing away early. Instead, broken is used almost exclusively to describe when a family unit has broken up because the parents chose not to be together romantically. I don’t think that would be a happy ending CS fans are looking for when it comes to Emma and Hook.
I see it as moreso because Emma, Hook and probably the rest of the main characters were forced to be separated from the daughter and adult Henry. I don’t see it as they divorced or split up. But were torn away due to a curse or something.
Or the main cast aside from these two were killed in the future and these two have traveled from the future to make sure that is changed.
It doesn’t by any means have to be Emma and Hook are split up. Snowing and Emma was a broken home as well, they didn’t even get to raise her.
And I doubt CS fans have much to worry about. This is a story they’ve built for 5 years, I’m not concerned. They will give them a happy ending. Whether that is this season or next season.
