But to examine why I don’t think any major characters will die: – Emma: Our main character. She’s safe. – Hook: The boyfriend and major fan favorite who was just resurrected. Safe. – Regina: Another majorly popular fan favorite, who this season is somewhat revolving around. Safe. – Snowing: Not a fan favorite, but they are raising a kid. They are safe. – Henry: A child, and son of the main character and son of Regina, and son of the evil queen. He’s safe. – Rumpel and Belle: Pregnant. Safe. – Zelena: Recently redeemed and raising a kid with her sister. She is the only one who might die in my opinion if A&E simply want to have Regina lose everything except her kids. But for now, I think Safe.
Yeah well guess what? Some of us assumed when we thought Neal was dead until the end of season 2 and his return in season 3 we then assumed he was safe. But it didn’t last. Logically the same can happen to one of the others. Use your head on that. Remember, there is no such thing as safe.
That’s because they never planned to kill Neal again, they only did it because they wanted Hook and Emma together by the end of the season and Neal and Emma’s feelings for him were inconveniently in the way to accomplish that.
Can they suddenly wake up one morning and decide to kill Hook again? Yes, will they? No, because their writing is centered around fanservice and ratings, not about what makes narrative sense.
