I’m not convinced that Hook’s hook will actually be in Mr Gold’s shop, I suspect that was just an interesting way for them to shoot a promo for the Hook reveal. But I also suspect that Hook stole Rumple’s wife back in the day, so that’s how I’m gonna explain them having scenes together. 😉
Yes, I think it was just suppose to be a cool promo since Colin O’Donoghue hadn’t even been cast at that time. I also agree though that I think Milha was Rumple’s wife, and that’s how he and Hook will be connected in episode 4.
And I suspect maybe we haven’t had casting info for Milha because they had to cast someone who looks like she’s Bae’s mother, so they didn’t want her face known beforehand. You can’t fool me, Adam and Eddy. I don’t need to see someone’s face to be able to figure out who they are! 😛
It is weird why they won’t reveal who they’ve cast in that role since presumably the actress already must have been cast since this is the episode that she’s suppose to appear in. I wonder if they found someone who looks incredibly like Dylan Schmid and/or Michael Raymond-James, and that’s why they’re keeping it under wraps because unless the actress looks a lot like either of those two actors, I would just assume that Bae took after Rumple or whoever his biological dad might be.
I’ll bet August is still gonna be a big ole’ block of wood in that bed, and it’ll take Mother Superior to make him real again.
This makes sense especially if they’re planning on reducing Eion Bailey’s role. I wonder if he would have stayed as a regular maybe they would have held off more on bringing in Henry’s dad and/or Bae so soon.
And I’ve also got my money on MRJ’s character being Henry’s bio-dad, which would make for a nice little recurring theme in a few eps at the start of the season.
Michael Raymond James turning out to be Bae and Henry’s dad would definitely fit in with the recurring theme of reunions that the first three to four episodes seem to be having based on the spoilers.
Let’s see, the reunions that we’ll see in the first three episodes:
1. Emma, Henry, Snow, and Charming
2. Charming and his mother (I guess they can’t all be happy reunions.)
3. Jefferson and his daughter
4. Probably Gepetto and August
5. Possibly Rumple, Bae, and Henry (Most likely the latter two, maybe not the former two yet.)
I don’t think Rumple killed his first wife because, at the time ,he was such a coward that he didn’t have it in him. I think Rumple was telling Bae the truth about his mother being dead, he just conveniently left out the part where she ran off with another man beforehand.
The more I think about it, the more I think Josephine was right in that Milha’s story is going to be like the folk song the “House Carpenter” that way fandom won’t hate Rumple’s ex/Bae’s wife anymore than they already do. It still makes her look bad that she ran off from her husband and son, but if she later regretted and ended up dying, then I think it makes her a lot more sympathetic. It would probably also make people feel even worse for poor Bae who might have the worst sob story out of all the characters, so if he did turn out to be a really, really huge jerk, maybe they’ll be willing to forgive him.
Thanks Antbee for the link. Turn against their own kind sounds like a fairy to me, but who knows. And you are right that the description is probably suspect, but they do usually have someone turn traitor in shows. It seems very unlikely that it would be Red or Granny to me. They may just mean Jefferson joining and helping Charming. Who knows.
You’re welcome. You’re right it could be someone turning against Regina and/or Rumple not necessarily one of the “good” guys turning against them. I suspect if the show runs long enough, we’ll see both scenarios happen at least once.
