I am trying to figure how I feel about what Gideon’s life tells us about the time line.
Assuming (and it is probably safe to say that one should never assuming on this show 😉 ) that Gideon growing up did not travel through time-weird lands (don’t see why his parents would take him back to where his grandmother raised him, or back to Neverland :p but there could be other places other than the edge of all realms).
Henry at end of season 6 was ~15 years old, and Gideon was a newborn.
Gideon growing up and leaving for some post-secondary-school equivalent adds ~20 years. (Unless he was meant to be younger and they wanted to use the same actor).
Lucy growing adds at 10 more years to this time line, and that is assuming she is conceived very soon.
That makes Henry ~45 years old now! So it is ~2045 in Seattle! (unless this if fictional Seattle 😉 )
Emma & the Charmings are ~65. Regina is *at least* 75 (not counting time under the first curse). And Regina is at least 65 in the flashbacks.
Now, about Alice. *At least* late teens when she met up with Rumple after he left The Edge of All Realms, so at least late 20s now. If so she was born around the time the Wish Realm was created, though she could be older. If the theory is that she is Wish Hook’s father, do we think their paths likely crossed in the 10 years before the new curse was enacted?
