Reply To: Tv Guide -Regina's love interest

[Slurpeez]

Oh I forgot to add in response to Slurpeez:

The term “soulmate” has been used quite a bit to describe Hook and Emma

I know the writers did use the word for Cora and Rumple. They have used Kindred spirits for Emma and Neal. I know J.Mo has said kindred spirit with Hook, and maybe A&E have too, would not doubt it but I do not recall it. There is a lot of fan interpretation.

I do think we should not conclude soulmate means end-game based on the use for Corumple. 

Good point! While I think heartless Cora was as ruthless as the Dark One, I believe the true soul mate of Rumplestiltskin the humble spinner is and always will be Bell.

I said in chat, but what if Regina did not curse Marian but is the reason she was cursed? We know at one point that Regina met Mally and that they were “friends” for several years. That they traded curses.

What if Regina revealed a crush on Robin to Mally, and Mally wanted to help Regina (in her twisted careful what you wish for way, Marian ends up cursed by Mally who is in the original Sleeping beauty tale, a bad fairy. Someone told RH where to find the wand to cure Marian, what if that was Regina? Also, Regina does not have to be the one to kill Tamara. Who still may not be RH’s daughter, and besides Tam went way off the reservation as she would have killed RH too and kidnapped Regina’s son. I don’t see Tam being RH daughter as a ship killer, only if Regina killed /cursed Marian then kills Tamara too.

Another notion, what if Marian’s curse was Robin’s price for his magic bow–nothing to do with Regina, but she helped him to get a solution (though her aim was to annoy Rumpel)

I’ll assume by Malley you mean Maleficent. This could work, too, and spare Regina the added hurt of nearly murdering or actually murdering Marian. Let’s also hope that Regina doesn’t unwittingly murder RH’s long-lost daughter, Tamara. That would pretty much pour a bucket of water over any potential flame with RH. For Regina’s sake, I hope that isn’t the case. But I do want Tamara to be RH and Marian’s child. I just hate how the writers seem to fixate on putting Regina through the ringers. She may deserve it, but it’s really painful to watch season after season.

No matter how tragic or short-lived any romance will be for Regina, at least she’ll get to have some time with Sean Maguire.
