This one spoiler above all others proves Hook isnt dying anytime soon 😉
Is there anything you can tell us about Hook’s arc for this season of Once Upon a Time that we haven’t heard yet? Anything on his childhood/parents? –Ana
Series cocreator Adam Horowitz would only say that when it comes to the good (?) pirate, “There is more delving into his past to come” – though the burning question of whom he traded the Jolly Roger to, in the name of finding Emma, won’t be revealed until “somewhere down the road.”
Now We all know “somewhere down the road” could be 4seasons from now- look at how long it took them to get to the writer of the book! They wouldnt even bother considering us finding out who he traded the ship to, if they had plans to off him- so rest easy 🙂

Colin was also filming for 409.
We will not see more of Hook’s backstory in the first 11 episodes, but we will in the second half of the season. http://www.onceuponafans.com/ouaf-interview-getting-iced
& then you have to remember that we have this:
Did you always intended to have Hook in love with Emma? Was that something you planned out or was it something that developed because of the actor’s chemistry onscreen?
Eddy: Always.Adam: Always. I mean, listen… You go into these things with the best intentions. That is to say we loved the idea that Hook and Emma would be kindred spirits and that is why we kind of wrote that in the beanstalk episode of season 2. But of course, you know, there’s always the chance that there isn’t any chemistry. We were very lucky that we feel that Hook and Emma have an enormous amount of chemistry so that kind of allowed us to stick to the plan that we wanted.

They didnt spend 2 seasons establishing this big romantic arc for Emma & Killian, just to then go kill him off, especially when Emma’s only just opening up to love again & terrified she’ll lose him like she lost all the others (that would destroy a large chunk of the character growth Emma’s made over the last two & half seasons, which makes no sense from a story telling standpoint). Will Killian be in danger/life threatening situation/s this season- Of course, it’s a given, since he loves Emma & wants to keep safe. But look at it like I do, Emma & Killian are the savior & the survivor- who is the one person who could survive being the saviors romantic partner- the one guy in all the realms whom has survived 300yrs worth of dangerous entanglements with DO Rumple, Pan, Cora, Regina, Maleficent, Blackbeard, Daddy Charming 😉 & who knows else 🙂
