@PriceofMagic Okay, I so love your thought that Regina could possibly be pregnant. I’m not one that would usually like a an out of wedlock baby storyline on a family TV show (I know – call me old fashioned and the whole show is based around Emma being an unwed mother already) but I agree with you that this would make so much sense.
It would give Regina and Snow something additional to bond over in their already growing friendship plus it would explain her baby-related sarcasm in the deleted scene from the last episode. Everyone is wondering WHY they deleted that scene, perhaps they decided the scene focused a bit too much on Snow/Regina baby discussions and they didn’t want to go there quite yet?
It would also give Emma and Regina something additional to bond over. Although Regina is mad at Emma for bringing Marian back – Emma is really the only one in town who can relate to how Regina would be feeling if she is pregnant after Robin “left” her to go back to his wife. Even though the contexts are entirely different they were both in situations were the both believed they were in a loving relationship, then had something completely unexpected happen, then found out they were pregnant and didn’t tell the father. If this IS the case, obviously I think Regina will end up telling Robin and I think a heart to heart with Emma would convince her that is the right thing to do.
Foreshadowing. When Robin told Regina he loves her but he he is going back to Regina he told her he was once a very different man and that he is going back to Marian because he lives by a code. First, we have no idea what kind of person HE used to be and we have no idea why he and Marian are actually together. I have actually started to wonder if he really ever loved Marian but maybe was not the greatest person and got her pregnant but finding out he was going to be a father made him change and decide to “do the right thing” and marry her and learned to love her (but not in a true love way). Or, Roland really isn’t his biological child and we will find out he killed his father when he was not a great person and out of guilt married Marian before Roland was born.
But the other foreshadowing issue is that since he said he is a man with a code, if Regina is pregnant there is NO WAY he is not going back to her even with Marian back. Regina is his true love and if he finds out she is pregnant it will complicate things but Marian was “dead” to him for years – Regina is here right now.
It definitely would explain her behavior and her desire to be alone to try to figure out what she is going to do.
And on a personal note it would explain her reduced filming schedule and it seems like they have been filming her sitting a lot more lately than they usually do. I haven’t really paid any attention to whether she looks pregnant or not but if she is early she might just be having bad morning sickness or something and need to slow down a bit. I don’t really like to speculate on their private lives but since we just went through this with Ginny it kind of makes we wonder.
