I think they’ll kill off Robin, keep him dead for the rest of this season then possibly bring him back next season. It’d be too hypocritical to have the characters rush off to save Hook from death yet leave Robin to rot in the ground. Also, considering Hook is a divisive character as it is, it would only do to make him more unpopular if he gets saved yet other characters are thrown under the bus. Saying that, Hook is without a doubt a “Creator’s Pet” so the writers obviously think the sun shines out his backside. They wouldn’t count Hades as a “major character” for this season would they? Is it definitely one of the regulars? Also, if they did kill Robin off for good, there’s no way they could write his death without there being issues: 1. If they have Robin move on, possibly with Marian thus giving Robin a “happy ending”, it makes Regina look like a placeholder. 2. If they have Robin “wait” for Regina, then he’s just sat twiddling his thumbs in Underbrooke until Regina grows old and dies. Either way, it won’t be a satisfactory end to Robin’s story if they do kill him off for good.
Well, Neal’s death came with no issues. Emma forgot about him two episodes after his feath so why can’t they do the same with Regina in order to “get back to normal” quickly?
