She has stated this in an interview thing- I don’t know what exactly it’s called, but Jane was doing an interview, I think on a radio station and someone rang up asked her questions about CS. I’ve copied and pasted this from a Tumblr ‘blog’ I think its called.
Anyway, she also mentioned that we (as in people who support CS) will enjoy what’s coming in another interview but I can’t remember where it was, I’ll keep searching for it though. 🙂 So to me, and many other people, it sounds like something BIG is going to happen for us 😀 Because I don’t think that she was talking about the Tiny episode, I think it might be about Manhattan or even episodes after.
Me: I was just wondering if you could talk about what was going on between Hook and Emma, and how that’ll play out moving forward, especially since I feel like they’ve been building for a really long time, like since Tallahasse, which was an episode I know you [Jane] wrote a lot on.
Me: And how they’ll move forward with Neal coming into the picture, and whether or not they have a lot of..hope.
Jane Espenson: Well! We should always have hope, as we’ve just learned.
Jane: That is obviously appearing where there are a lot sparks on screen, even though he’s done some pretty bad things on screen, and he’s said some pretty, you know, suggestive things–but there IS this spark there, and I think we are aware of that spark.
Jane: But you’re right, there are a lot of complications. We know how she felt about Neal in the past…All I can say is that we are aware of how well those two play together.
Me: It seemed to me at the end of the episode that Emma went off with Rumple because he said it would it would protect Hook.
Me: And she spent the entire episode protecting him–you know, she hid him, kept him safe, and I wonder if that’ll be brought up, maybe to Hook?
Jane: Um…I cannot comment, but I think you should keep watching, I think you’re gonna like it.
Heres the link to the interview- at about 35:10 the question is asked 🙂
