About the TVLine article JMo is very diplomatic I agree. But I think while Emma might ask for Neal, she’s going to claim it’s “for Henry only” but in reality she wants to know where he is for herself, as well as for Henry. Also, keeping Hook full time in his pirate outfit only serves as a reminder that Hoko is first and foremost a pirate, like he himself said
There are good ways to do that for couples and I think in S4, A&E need to challenge themselves more by writing some of our fave couples (mainly Rumbelle & SwanFire IMO) actually being together but having to overcome some sort of situation or problem as a team. You really can’t keep couples apart forever in this day and age because people don’t have the patience anymore (and IMO, it also gets really draggy and repetitive which is not fun to watch).
