Yeah, I was wondering if they would go there. I’m not sure how I would feel about a twist, along the lines of the-outside-world-discovers-Storybrooke. If it’s just one or two characters, I could maybe see it working (for example, if the writer of the book turned out to be “real-world” character, or if Henry’s father turned out to be a “real-world” character). Otherwise, I think it would make the show too bloated.
Yes, that’s a good word for it, “bloated”. If they did something like this, I wouldn’t want it to mean that suddenly anyone and everyone from outside would be bombarding the town, so it’d have to only be a select someone, so it didn’t get out of hand.

All the drama between the characters in Storybrooke would probably seem less important if the real world was bearing down on them.
Or it might give SB a bigger sense of urgency to go back to FTL. They could start worrying about what might happen if the outside world started noticing a town that no one knew existed, and someone came in to investigate and saw something that they shouldn’t have.
That’s what I was thinking, yeah. If there were one person who was a real world character, with the desire to expose SB to the world in the hopes of destroying their magical haven, then that could mean the SB inhabitants would all have to band together. I know there’s an understanding between the good guys and the bad guys right now, but if there was an outside threat, the good guys may be forced to employ some of the tactics of the bad guys in order to protect the whole town, which could be an interesting dynamic.
