I can’t imagine a reality where Neal doesn’t want to be an active participant in his child’s life. He wouldn’t pack up and move many states away where he could only see Henry on some weekend and every other holiday

I agree. Especially as there is nothing for Neal in New York. Had Tamara just been Neal’s fiancée and he had to leave her in New York whilst he dealt with the Storybrooke side of things THEN I could’ve seen Neal being willing to be in New York and have Henry visit every weekend plus him visiting Henry as often as he could. It would’ve also avoided the destructive CSF triangle. Unfortunately, we are where we are and as things currently stand, there is no chance in hell Neal would leave Henry willingly. Also how different would the show have been if the writers had actually had Emma CHOOSE who she wanted to be with instead of taking that choice away by killing Neal. Even if Emma chose Hook, it would be a lot better than what it is now where Hook only won by default because Neal’s dead. There was no resolution to the CSF triangle and because of that the toxicness created in the fandom because of CSF still continues to fester.

Or bring Dylan as teen Bae, with no memories and no one would say anything about it, bc they dont have deep conversations anymore and Bae would not have his memories and would think he always lived with rumple.

Actually I wouldn’t mind teen Bae being brought back because it would be so tragic for Henry. He has his dad back but Baelfire has no idea who Henry is. Just imagine the emotions Henry would go through. Also imagine what would happen if Baelfire realises there’s something about Henry that nobody is telling him. Henry would befriend Baelfire because it would be the only way he could spend time with him but it would be such emotional scenes.
