@Slurp @Phee that is why Neal had to die, because he would have been too compassionate, too respectful, too kind, too good, too real, too human. And people will always question when will they get back together already. So kill Neal no worries, no triangle, not debates, no nothing.
With Neal alive bonding with Henry, his father, his friends, with Emma. Eventually Emma and Neal will talk, Eventually Emma and Neal will be friends, good friends, deep friends, best friend, and they will clique, and sass and love and laugh, and argue and sass and support and joke, and parent, and forgive, and dine, and fight, and bond and love and remember. Eventually Emma, Neal, and Regina, and Henry will become this makeshift of a family bridge the gap between the Stiltskins, Charmings, and Mills. A new fairytale about wacky mess up family that rival the likes of modern family. Because this is what will happen and this is what the GA will expect to happen. And this is what the STORY the great muse of OUAT will demand to happen. That this StiltskinCharmingMillsFamily, Henry with all three of his parents, having thanksgiving dinner at grannies finally at peace as a storybook ending of Hope, Love, Family, Redemption, Second Chances, Happy Endings, and Living LIFE and Loving each other.
But thats not the story that Producers wanted, they don’t care to listen to the Story or the Muse.
So Neal has to die and along with it that story and that message. Now its about how villains will get their eventual happy endings because their pretty and popular and flashy, and cool and to heck with the rest.
Since my dear hearsong, @Ranisha keeps talking about Lord Bae, that will return as evil, there is a scene already, the person to bring him is the wizard, owner of the hat that rumple has.
Oh my goodness YES. Lord Ba’El rises in fire and brimestone.
So with Lord Ba’El being a villain means that he will get his eventually happy ending to since he is just misunderstood….. 🙂
