After watching the interviews Jennifer didn’t even say that Colin did. I don’t think Colin thinks about his character the way Jennifer does. Jennifer does research and such and has a whole head canon backstory about Emma. I don’t think Jennifer likes Emma and Hook being together. I think everything about the way she brushes it off suggests that and how she has no real explanation about what is happening with them except they are in love and she can’t live without him, but she didn’t write that. Everything about how it all went down back then makes me think that she doesn’t like it. They all liked Neal with Emma and said so on twitter and were upset when MRJ went off the show.
