RegalHood is (nearly) canon! According to a new TV Guide spoiler for S3:
Trying to be on her very best behavior, Regina/Evil Queen will find a surprising love connection in the third episode — perhaps with Robin Hood (Sean Maguire), who will appear on both Once and its Wonderland spinoff. “Regina’s love has to be very manly, and Robin Hood is that,” Parrilla says. “I’m getting very excited.” (Alas, she shouldn’t get too excited, since producers tell me this romance will take a tragic turn.)
By episode 3, Robin Hood will be in the picture, and I think you can officially do a happy dance, Phee (at least for a brief second). Sad that the word “tragic” has been used with regards to Regina again. Hasn’t the lady suffered enough (okay, granted she brought most of it upon herself, but still)?
