I don’t think it would get like August if he was presented as a fairytale counterpart, and/or Baelfire after that – and just when the audience thinks the mystery of his identity is solved: Emma returns and demands to know why he’s in town – end of an episode/ cliff hanger.
Am loving this idea of a double reveal for MRJ’s character & that cliffhanger idea would be a perfect way to do it!

I have a feeling Emma and Snow may be gone for awhile (because, in this family, someone seems to be always needing to find the others…). Could be interesting if the pair does several realm jumps through to mid-season. Or would that start getting old? Probably would. And they have to keep us guessing about some of those doors for a few seasons: space them out and such.
This got me wondering about where they’ll disappear to, because that new spoiler seems to reinforce the idea that they do get vortexed somewhere, and I’ve come up with an idea…
I’m gonna guess that they go to FTL past, to a time we haven’t seen covered yet…to the time of the Sleeping Beauty story. From The Thing You Love Most:
Maleficent: Weren’t you about the same age when you were to be married? Before she ruined it all. Yes, you were.
Evil Queen: Yes, it was about the same age you were when that Sleeping Beauty got the best of you, my dear Maleficent.
Maleficent is clearly older than Regina, so it was years before the events of that ep that the Sleeping Beauty story happened. Unless they can tie Aurora and Phillip into the current storyline somehow, there’s not much point in going back to tell their story at all. Both of them are played by young actors, but if Sleeping Beauty happened years before Regina’s curse, if they got transported with the curse, they should be older at that time in FTL, and in SB. Adam and Eddy have hinted that they have an interesting way to introduce these new characters.
So I’m gonna guess that Emma and Snow will go back to the time of Sleeping Beauty, and while they’re there, will get involved in that story somehow, and in doing so, will befriend Aurora and Phillip. Then when Emma and Snow figure out a way to escape, they’ll bring the other two back with them.
Perhaps BF will be one of the good fairies in Sleeping Beauty, (one of them does wear blue in the Disney film), and after Emma and Snow meet her and explain what happens in the future, she’ll give them a bean to help them get back to where they need to go.
OMG, imagine if they ran into other characters when they were younger, like Red when she was just a child? We could see what happened to her parents.
Eeeek, another idea…what if they go back to the time when Snow was a child, and met Regina, and adultSnow tries to change history so Daniel doesn’t die, in an attempt to prevent all of Regina’s future evil deeds. That may not sit well with Emma, because if Snow succeeded in changing the future, that would mean she’d never have Henry, but Snow could argue that it would mean that she and Charming would get to see their baby girl grow up. That storyline would be prime for tension. The spoiler says they’ll have a lot of time together “whether they like it or not,” which sounds like it won’t be smooth sailing between them. Ginny was around when Barbara and Bailee were shooting. I’d just figured she was hanging out to watch from the sidelines as opposed to being in scenes with them…but maybe not?
