Yeah, this show is careful about that stuff. I think August, Neal, Greg, Tamara are all connected even if they don’t know it (thought I suspect Tamara does know it)
When I first read that she was going to be Neal’s fiancee, I didn’t want to be one of those crazy shippers that wishes death upon her or hoped that she would turn out to be evil just to make her an easy obstacle because I don’t like it when other ships have done that to Neal or really any character that I like in a pairing just because they might like a different pairing. I was also apprehensive because the track record with this show and minorities isn’t very good, so I was hoping that Tamara wouldn’t just be some cardboard villain or basically just a plot device to keep SwanFire apart for longer.
However, now that it looks like there is something suspicious about her, I hope they just go all out and make Tamara a really BAMF since they’ve written themselves in a corner now with Regina because she’s the most entertaining when she’s being evil but if she keeps being evil then the good guys look moronic for not trying to take her out. I know they were trying that with Cora, but unfortunately since Barbara Hershey didn’t want to become a regular of the show, there was a lot more telling than showing of how evil/scary Cora was, imo. So I just want a good villain again that really steps up instead of wishy-washy Regina, incompetent Hook, MIA King George, and dead Cora. I just want a villain to step up his/her game, and maybe even get the better of Rumple this season or next season and who doesn’t throw a pity party every episode.
