So I was Tv-Troping (is that a thing? Can that be a thing? I’m making it a thing.) and I read on the trivia page for OUAT the following:

Creator Backlash:
<ul>
<li> Robert Carlyle hated that Neal was killed off, feeling Rumple’s character lost his main motivations afterwards.</li>
<li>Amy Manson not-so-subtly retweeted a couple of fan tweets complaining about the Season 5 winter finale.</li>
<li>Ginnifer Goodwin has also subtly hinted that she’s not happy with the direction Snow’s character went.</li>
</ul>

Did we know this? That’s interesting. I later googled it to see if I could find the tweets and found this on a wiki:

However, following the airing of the winter finale, Manson reacted negatively on Twitter, retweeting two posts that sent hate towards the show. It has been speculated by fans of the series that Manson has reacted in such a way due to her scenes in the episode being cut out, which are presumed to have resolved her character’s story. The tweets were later un-retweeted though, and showrunner Adam Horowitz has spoken that Manson emailed him, apologizing, and claims to have only “accidentally” retweeted the harsh tweets. It’s said that Manson is set to return sometime during the second half of the fifth season.

I never heard about any of this. Did you guys?

I remember hearing something about it.

It’s interesting reading the trivia page on tvtropes including:

“Christie Laing, who plays Marian, didn’t know that Marian was actually Zelena in disguise in season 4 until “Heart of Gold”.

“Colin O’Donoghue had no idea Hook was a second Dark One for the first half of Season 5. ”

This explain why the reveals come so out of left field, even the actors don’t know how they should be playing something because they’re not told what’s going on until after the fact.
