Reply To: Who is Christopher Gorham's character?

[Slurpeez]

If that TV Guide spoiler turns out to be reliable, then it’d certainly be quite interesting for Chris Gorham to be playing Flynn Rider. It’d certainly be fitting, since Flynn is the fake alias for Eugene Fitzherbert, the thief from Disney’s “Tangled,” which is actually quite similar to Neal Cassidy being Baelfire’s alias, who is also a former thief. The only sure thing we know is that Chris is playing someone “very important in the life of Emma Swan,” and so he could be a foster brother, an old friend, or even another love interest. We’ve yet to see how Emma got her flower tattoo on her wrist, which is the same as the flower on her family crest. We’ve also yet to see what set teenage Emma on the path towards thievery in the first place, since by the time she met Neal, she was already committing grand larceny by stealing a car. Perhaps Chris’ character is originally from the same kingdom as the Charmings who somehow ended up in our world like Emma, Baelfire and August did; maybe he is the one who influenced teenage Emma to start stealing things in the first place, and he my have unwittingly influenced Emma to choose the same flower as is on her father’s coat of arms.
