Ok so I know some people may not like this theory but I had a thought…what if Dr. Whale is both Dr. Frankenstein and Monstro…What if Dr. Frankenstein tried to bring Daniel back to life but failed, and then as punishment he was turned into Monstro the Whale.. If Daniel ended up being a monster I could see Regina turning Dr. Frankenstein into a Monster..Monstro in anger for what she had done to Daniel, and then having Monstro do her bidding..I can’t remember which interview but they did say in one that his character was going to be on par with rumplestiltskin being the beast and red being the wolf so that would actually make sense…I’ve always thought he was Monstro, and that regina turned him into that, I just had no idea what he would have done to make her curse him that way but the Frankenstein theory with Daniel becoming the monster makes a lot of sense…and it would give them a way to be obvious and sneaky at the same time…just a thought, I may be completely wrong though, but then the name would make a lot of sense because then technically it would be a mash up of both of his fairytale counterparts names…and well its already been discussed about why he would have a god complex if he were Dr. Frankie..As far as the Ruby thing though maybe he was once in love with anita…that is just a complete crackpot theory but hey who knows?
