Reply To: Co-Lead Death Blind Item.

[RumplesGirl]

The key part of this spoiler is it’s a “co-lead”

This.

Co leads means there are two characters/actors sharing in all the heavy lifting, that the story requires that both of them have as much narrative pull as the other.

Booth and Bones

Ichabod and Abbie

Red and Liz

Castle and Beckett

Dean and Sam

Those are characters that are co-leads.

OUAT is not a co-lead show. There are some actors that get more screen time (Emma, Regina, Hook) but the show is not billed a single lead with a supporting cast (House, Arrow) nor as a co-lead (Bones, Sleepy Hollow, Castle, Blacklist, Supernatural) but as an ensemble show (Grey’s, HTGAWM, TBBT, Chicago Fire)
