Hey at least now I know what you guys feel like. I can hate watch this show like a lot of you do. It’ll be fun. ?
For what it’s worth, the possibility for s7 to be set at the wish realm seems more positive than ever so Emma might not die in the finale and KillEmma might still end up together.
There’s this awesome theory by a person on Tumblr.
“So I’ve got a new theory about S7, that will explain everyone’s absences and be able to intact the happy endings of all the characters.
Alright so S7 takes place in the Wish Realm.
Somehow in the premiere Hook gets sent there by some means, leaving behind a pregnant Emma. So it becomes a race against time to get home to Emma and their unborn child.
Wish realm has changed a lot. For one King Henry(Andrew West) rules the land with a vengeance as he’s still furious at the woman that killed his mother and his grandparents. The little girl is the daughter of WR Robin and Regina, the savior of the WR and the only chance Hook has of getting home to Emma. Unbeknownst to King Henry, he befriends the little girl not aware of whom her mother is.
So Hook enlists the aid of WR Regina, her daughter, and maybe Robin(if Sean comes back) to get home and King Henry is the big bad of the final season.
This works with the three people that are signed on. It will be able to completely safe and keep the canon happy endings of all our characters. And most importantly it works because all the actors not coming back(Gosh, Emilie) for example are all dead in the WR.”
Also add on to this theory, Zelena never appeared in Wish Realm.
