I don’t know about Daddy’s girl stuff? Stereotype I’ve never seen in real life I guess. I had a great relationship with my dad but mostly by being more independent and tomboyish, rather than because I relied on him.
I like to think Charming will be proud of Emma for growing up and being so courageous and independent.
I’m hoping Emma feels confused, angry, overwhelmed, excited, fearful, and every thing else by knowing who her parents are.
I’m not sure we’re going to see a whole big father/daughter dynamic at first. I’m having a hard time imagining Emma being very attached to him, I guess. Even as much as she’ll realize Mary Margaret wasn’t fully the real Snow (and miss her somewhat), I think she’s very invested in her and would still feel this attachment to a woman who at least still LOOKS like her best friend. She had no major emotional attachment to David (and actually more reason to dislike him than like him.)
I find myself thinking if David’s original plan to leave town had worked out, then when MM told Emma about it she would have been like “I’m sure you’re better off without him and now you don’t have to worry about running into him around town.”
I think Emma saw David as an acquaintance but not much else. I’m not sure she’d be eager to learn more about him but I guess as she starts to see him as the REAL him, she might be a little surprised/pleased to learn he was not the annoying guy David was.
