This is from http://buttercupsandhooks.tumblr.com/post/104197554540/i-wonder-if-people-realize-that-even-if-things-had
I wonder if people realize that even if things had fallen through with the Peter Pan rights, KILLIAN JONES was still a character that Adam and Eddy had in their back pockets since the beginning of the series — he would be here, in some capacity, with Emma, regardless of what story he was part of.
I’m on my phone and I am at work, so I obviously can’t site sources right now, but I definitely remember an article where they talked about Killian Jones being a character they’d wanted in some capacity from the outset.
Maybe it wasn’t always HOOK who was supposed to be with Emma, but it was DEFINITELY always Killian Jones. That’s why Captain Hook isn’t James Hook as per the original story, that’s why his backstory is different — the point wasn’t getting HOOK on the show, it was getting KILLIAN on the show. There’s a REASON Colin got promoted to series regular before anyone even SAW him in The Crocodile, there’s a reason HE ALONE chemistry tested with Jen.
Emma’s TL is, and has ALWAYS been, Killian Jones. Deal with it.
