Thank goodness someone said it before I had to.
But since it had now been said and we are safely in our own ship’s thread . . .
A picture of a closed set? If I post a picture of a closed set does that mean I am filming? No. It means I have posted a picture of a closed set. Plus actors do reshoots all the time. Not to mention that MRJ could still have flashbach scenes to be filmed after Neal’s death.
And the recent purple screen shot? Something looks wrong to me, it looks photoshopped. Not sure why they would do that. The only thing I can think of is that they were not happy about the Malcom/Pan stabbing pictures getting released and since it seems that everyone had figured out Neal is dead they are trying to have the cast do things to make people think otherwise.
Think about it. It just seems really, really suspicious to me. All of a sudden we have these pictures of MRJ being revealed in an obvious attemp to try to show he is alive. Why would they do that? They made a big point of saying that Rumple is NOT the character that dies because they know Rumple is a hugely popular character, such a popular that the entire dynamic of the show changes if he is dead. So they want to make sure people know Rumple isn’t dead so people will not stop watching the show. But Neal?? Sorry, but Neal is not a big draw character for the show. There is no reason for them to make any attempt to appease fans by “proving” he is alive. They are onlu trying to make people think he is alive because they don’t want another major spoiler situation like they had with Malcom/Pan. They HAVE to do something if they want to try to maintain the surprise they are hoping for because it has been blatantly obviously that MRJ has been absent.
So during MRJ’s tweet session he isn’t allowed to say anything about the death but suddenly he is allowed to tweet things that are supposed to “prove” he is alive? And other cast members are allowed to do the same? It just doesn’t make sense.
