Spoiler TV had revealed new casting calls for 2×16
For episode 2×16, the guest role of “King Xavier” is being cast. he’s 45, has a mean sense of humor, and worries about being able to maintain his extravagant lifestyle since gold has become more scarce in his kingdom.
Also being cast is the co-star role of a 20-something “Prince Henry” (Regina’s father as a young man), whose marriage could change King Xavier’s fortunes. http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/01/once-upon-time-episode-216-roles-being.html
I’m thinking that “Prince Henry” could be a young King George, whose kingdom was always short of funds. Needing money, he was bothered to marry the miller’s daughter (aka Cora), who was said to be able to spin straw into gold. Of course, she couldn’t, and so she made a deal with Rumplestiltskin to trade her first-born, Regina, for the aid of the dark one.
Loved this idea 😀 ! With that happening, everything would fall into place: Cora’s connection to Rumple, Regina, and the original Rumplestilsken story! Brilliant!
