What’s suspicious though is that Hook is absent from the fake script, which seems unlikely, given how enamored A&E are with Hook nowadays.
well hook is absent from the 3 scenes, we didnt read the whole script, fake or not. Also the person that posted said Hook was in NVl during the rewrite, but didnt said he would not appear on the epi, bc as soon as they remenber( again if is true) i bet Hook would go to them on EF. Bc the “fake” script is just 3 scenes, and i think there are some scenes missing bwt those, again fake or not,(bc lets be real adam and jane would say is fake) Also, i sense the way to go back will be by dark curse, and almost bet that someone will cast it by crushing someone heart to go back to SB. Maybe Regina casts it again, using one of her parents heart.Although that is not my crack theory, but i will wait and see.
I have to agree with Rainbow. Being absent from a page does not = being absent from an episode.
I think the overall story the fake script gave might have some truth (in that it makes well educated guesses based on how A and E write) but that it’s not 100% legit by any standard
