But if it’s true that MRJ did not want to leave the show and he was not fired and it really WAS “bold storytelling”, than maybe. MRJ could make time for both shows. After all, I heard A and E handpicked him and Belle. Maybe because they knew these two will have a very small but hugely significant part…? Maybe hook and pan would be the big bad and underworld is the new neverland? Why would A and E hand-pick actors? Pan: “you look so adorable, its hard to tell wich one to kill firt” Pan: “no it is’t, you. You first.” So next Belle will die and Pan will win until Golden Hero fights back by sacrificing more than just his life, this time etc.
If they really had done that, it was because they needed someone who looked like dylan. I honestly don’t think they have any long term plans for Neal, they made it pretty clear that it’s Hook they want, no matter how it doesn’t make sense and that they had to sacrifice characters for this pairing to make any kind of sense.
