My dears – whenever you worry about Hook, just remember…..ABC is the biggest fangirl of them all. And they hold the pursestrings. Hook’s not going anywhere.
Also, if you hear some of the audio from the interview you see Jen is pretty excited when she’s making those comments. Not, Nick Lachey interview excited, but pretty excited. Hook’s not going anywhere.
And lastly, they wouldn’t be putting Hook and Emma in almost every scene they’re in together. And when Hook isn’t in a scene with Emma, he’s with Henry. Notice the difference between Hook’s screentime and Neal’s screentime before he died. Neal virtually disappeared. That’s called ‘softening the blow’. Hook’s not going anywhere! 🙂
