Reply To: Who Do You Think the death is?

We have no idea how many more seasons the network is game for them to do, nor how many the stars of this series truly want to do.  Let’s face it, Vancouver isn’t the balmy weather of LA and a bit out of the loop for them to be getting other projects.  People move on in their lives too. Lana is getting married,  GG’s having a kid, Colin just had one, and ultimately, shelf lives in Hollywood (particularly sadly so for women in particular) are a bit limited.  Television has lured some great movie stars, recently, even still bankable ones, but a lot of “just past their opening a movie prime” with good, powerful scripts.   I love this show but it is a bit on the campy side rather than serious drama, so career wise?   I don’t know if it makes sense for any of these people to be thinking it is a long term gig.

I think they ALL probably enjoyed it tremendously but if someone is leaving now, and it is for “story” reasons then I imagine a few possibilities in a general way:

1) A tragic story of how evil gets victories and good must suffer but overcome heartbreaking loss (Neal, Snow, Emma Charming or Henry)

2)A heroic sacrificed story, in a bittersweet story of  just how deeply someone can change from selfish to selfless (Regina or Hook)

3) Something in between like Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo kills himself upon seeing Juliet is dead, then Juliet wants to reunite themselves in death.  (Belle).

If it is Neal, it’s just in Nathan of Heroes territory though for me, given they’d already run a storyline but at least it was only ONE fake death.

I really hope they’re just playing us all and they were cagey and the writers thought they meant a current series regular, but they meant Red.  I love Red but Ory’s moved on so it would be better than one of the regulars who all have characters that ought to be given much better then what it sort of is shaping up to be here in terms of “arc completion.”  I’ll judge after they show it though but I may be like I was with Heroes, more in the mood to complain about the show than watch it.
