In this article there is said that Hook will be a part of a new love triangle with Regina and Emma.

That’s the first article I’ve seen mentioning a Regina-Hook-Emma triangle, but it says “previous spoilers have teased.” Everything I’ve seen that implies Hook will be in a triangle is suggesting it’s a triangle with Emma and Neal. They played it up any chance they got at Comic-Con. The only time I remember seeing HookedQueen brought up was in that interview with the cast standing together, and the interviewer suggested it, and they all reacted like, “Say what, haven’t heard that one before,” and Colin adorably leered over Lana’s shoulder as they joked about the possibility.
Hook and Emma will be building on their relationship in NL. She’s the only person he really feels that he can trust and talk to. The writers will want to establish their bond before Neal gets brought back to complicate things. Not sure how they could do that and also have Hook convincingly pursue a relationship with Regina at the same time.
Anyway, the way they’ve been saying that we’ll “meet her love interest” doesn’t sound like it’s a character we already know well, so I really don’t think that Hook is in the running. If it’s someone brand new who we’ve never seen before, there’d have to be a casting call soon, if he’s gonna be “very early on” in the season.
They never said the romance is mutual, present day or true love. We may meet Regina’s version of Rumpel’s thing with Cora.
GAH, I still haven’t recovered from Corumple! I reckon Graham qualifies as Regina’s “that is SO wrong” relationship, so we don’t really need another one.
What if Regina met RH in the past, and then he met Marion and dumped Regina for true love? Hath no fury like the saying goes. Maybe Regina cursed Marion and Baby.
If they do go with RegalHood, I hope that’s not how they do it. The main reason I’m crackshipping it is because I reckon he’s exactly the type of character who could be a good influence on her in the future. Months ago, before we even knew that RH was gonna be on the show at all, there was a thread discussing potential candidates for Regina’s man and RH was one of the suggestions that I liked. Didn’t really think about it as a potentially realistic prospect until they re-cast RH for S3 though. Now I’ve thought about it a bit too much. Ooops. 😛
