TheBee – you’re wrong with your guess, I am no writer.
But it is interesting what image you have of writers, charming.
Nearly as charming as your image of men, of what makes a real man.
What you wrote was offensive, not personally against me, neither am writer nor a man, but in general.
Sad, that others even agree with it.
To everybody here:
To set this straight: I find Hook as a character interesting, I did NOT suggest to kill him right away. All I am saying is, IF the writers can’t come up with good stories for him anymore, THEN I prefer them to give him an exit with a big bang, and not drag it. And IF the writers’ plans for Hook already includes a great showdown ending in Hook’s death, then so be it, as long as it is good writing, but I don’t know, what their plans are. I didn’t start to watch OUaT for Hook, I don’t watch it for Hook – that is all I am saying.
What annoys me by now is, that some Hookers behave as if Hook is the only character really counting on the show and disrespect, that this is not how everybody sees it. I don’t judge people, viewers or whoever here, like or dislike anyone, I judge behavior.
BTW, Oncewatcher, I too pay attention to social media, surprise. I do notice, that Hook is a popular character. I do notice, that people like him or find him interesting out of different reasons, but there are a number of people, who seem to talk about little else than that Hook (and Colin O’Donoghue portraing him) is hot. I’m not saying, that is all, what they’re interested in, but if there is more, it is not as visible. What I am saying is, that the character deserves more than being primeraly some love interest for whoever on the show (and Colin O’Donoghue deserves more to show his good acting) . Oh, and I did mention, that good writing gets us invested emotionally in the characters, I am very aware that people feel with characters.
I’m giving my opinions here. Not sure what makes any of you think that these opinions and views might be any near to what the creators and the writers of the show think and will do. I find this ongoing writer bashing embarrasing and ridiculous.

Why don’t writers get attached to tv characters, namely the ones they write about?
You don’t think writers get attached to their characters? Characters they imagined, they deisgned, they created, they breathed life into, they make up the stories for. I’m not a writer, but I would imagine that it’d be impossible for a writer to not become attached to their characters. That doesn’t mean they won’t put said characters through hell, it doesn’t mean they won’t kill them if necessary, but even if they feel the need to do that, that doesn’t meant they don’t still love and feel attached to the character. K&H still talk about how they love Graham, but he was always designed to serve his purpose in the story, and then die.
Well said.
