Day 4- Least Favourite Male Regular Character (Past or Present)
Hook
I choose Hook because he has been the most divisive character for me. I hated him in season 2, started to warm up to him in season 3, but I’ve started to go off of him again in season 4. I just don’t like when he antagonises Rumple then cries foul when Rumple gets the better of him. If you’re going to play with fire, you should expect to get your fingers burnt.

Day 2: Least Favorite Female – Between Emma and Snow
I would say Snow, but right now…I just feel too sorry for her character. Like…I don’t think the writers know what to do with her anymore.
The reason I said Emma is really for most of the reasons @RumplesGirl already pointed out…she’s not Emma Swan anymore, she’s Emma CHARMING, and I think that’s the biggest issue…this isn’t the red jacket and blue jean wearing, curly blonde, black boots to kick (beep) with Emma….the woman who could look Mayor Mills in the face and boldly cut down her apple tree.
One of my biggest fears came true…Adam and Eddy turned Emma from a bad(beep) woman into a Disney princess….don’t get me wrong, there are bits and pieces of the old Emma, and I’m all for evolution when it’s in good timing…but she’s not Emma Swan, she’s Emma Charming now.
Day 3- Favorite Male Lead Character
It’s a tie between Robin Hood and Neal.
Robin Hood because of his code of honor, and his willingness to understand someone that everyone else would have cautioned him about…was he scared, nope, he saw the woman underneath the front she put up, and is able to bring out the best in her, something only her son is able to do.
I’m going to have to say Neal because out of every character in the Once Series…he seemed the realest. That used to be Emma till her parents rubbed off on her, but Neal will probably forever be the realest character.
Day 4- Least Favorite Male Character
Charming
For some reason…his character has started to irk me more than it probably should. I feel like this season, they’ve really sorta dumbed him down so he can be on level with Snow White. I don’t know…so far, the most enjoyable moment I’ve had with him is seeing him and Snow shred each other over minor things, finally the golden couple can have it out for our entertainment! But Like Snow…I just feel the writers have no idea what to do with him anymore.

Day 4- Least Favourite Male Regular Character
*sigh* This dreaded category.
My least favorite is Hook. He was one of my faves during the second season but after he buried the hatchet with Rump, he lost everything that made him interesting. Or better yet they swapped an interesting character for a swooning man in love. Even in Neverland which should have been his moment in the spotlight, he was reduced to a love interest. It seems (in my view) that they aren’t even trying to do anything with Hook that doesn’t involve Emma and really they don’t have to because Capt. Swan has so many fans. I just cant with Hook’s character and how they try and fail to present him as a good guy or hero. I think Hook needs something to do, and something relevant to the plot, that’s non-Emma related and then maybe then I could hop aboard the Hooker fandom again. I could go on and on but I wont.
TL/DR: Hook is boring now, his character development (if it can even be called that) is just not on fleek at all.
As for Henry, i agree, he is older now and needs to be more involved in the plot. We should have got that n neverland but nope. With his Book being lke his symbol and the fact they are looking for the author, he should play a better role now. I know a lot of people don’t like his character. He needs more advanced storylines.

Zelena. A lot of folks didn’t like her but personally I thought she was awesome. Like with a few others, she was more a great character suffering at the hands of subpar writing. There was a lot of potential she had with Regina that never got explored which I thought was hinted at during the jail cell scene where it almost seemed like she was considering changing her ways. And who knows, maybe she would have. But alas, she felt the cold end of a dagger :/ I wouldn’t mind seeing her again and I don’t believe she is fully dead. We saw Maleficent turn to dust and she seems to be just fine.

Actually, I have three.
1) Hook.
Character is is not outfitted to look as he should, and in terms of appearance I think he has been miscast…he seems weak to me. Also, the actor plays the character way too smarmy, not in a true lady’s man kind of way, but as in a man who is trying too hard to be a lady’s man. He is especially greasy around Emma and I want to wash that oily feeling in my throat down with a large glass of coca cola every time he sidles up to her. The actor’s acting skills are not quite up to standard either, though he is not too bad with his interactions with Robert Carlyle, Lana Parrilla and Barbara Hershey.
2) Neal.
Loved young Bae, but the adult Bae was a far cry from the youth. The actor who played him was scruffy-looking, weak, and mumbled all his lies. Put me completely off the character.
3) Charming
Weak actor and a boring and weak character.
Josh Dallas can’t use a sword and swings it around like he is on stage rather than on TV; GG and LP looked more convincing with their sword fight in 4a haha. I realise that he used to be a stage actor, but 4 years after doing OUAT he still seems to struggle.Sorry to be so negative, but I just wanted to answer the question honestly.

Day 5- Favourite Female Recurring Character (Past or Present)
Without a doubt, Granny. She always gets some of the funniest lines.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Oooh, late to the party but I want in:
Day 1- Favourite Female Regular Character (Past or Present)
Belle. 100% favorite. She was my favorite before I got hooked on Once, and she pulled me in even further when she became a regular. (and then they never use her…but in the rare times she has screen time, she shines. Also…her wardrobe. OMG.)
Day 2- Least Favourite Female Regular Character (Past or Present)
This is hard…I actually like all of them a lot. Snow, Regina, and Emma all occasionally get on my nerves but all of them are also awesome, rich characters whose actors put so much work into them. If I have to pick, though, I’ll pick Regina–mostly because the recent OQ arc bothers me a LOT (which isn’t Regina’s fault, and definitely not Lana’s, but it’ll serve).
Day 3- Favourite Male Regular Character (Past or Present)
Rumplestiltskin. RC’s given him amazing depth, he’s always fun to try to figure out, and even when he’s frustrating as heck, I still can’t help loving him. I think killing Neal and cutting all the S4A scenes where he actually shows any affection for his wife/grandson/son really hurt his character’s development some, but I’m hoping that there’s a really good arc coming for him as he tries to get back what he’s lost now.
Day 4- Least Favourite Male Regular Character (Past or Present)
Even harder…I mean, I love all of them. I’m going to go with Will, because while I loved him in Wonderland, they haven’t given him any purpose in Storybrooke yet and he’s been a regular half a season. And if they’re cutting Belle/Rumple scenes for him…no thanks.
Day 5- Favourite Female Recurring Character (Past or Present)
Aurora, who edges out Mulan ever so slightly because of personal reasons. Part of Aurora’s appeal for me is that her strength is highly feminine–she doesn’t need to be the warrior to be a fierce fighter. One of the things I appreciate about Once is that the girls can BE girly and still battle on (and the girls can be less girly and still gorgeous too). Also, Aurora’s side story needs to be expanded on.

Day 5- Favourite Female Recurring Character (Past or Present) – Elsa. I’d much rather have the whole Frozen cast stay on Once because all of them were awesome, but I’d definitely would have liked to keep Elsa as Emma’s BFF versus Emma trying to be friends with Regina. There was so much press in the beginning about Elsa being Emma’s friend who isn’t her mom and really learning from each other and I think it would have been nice if Elsa stayed in Storybrooke. Once has this really horrible habit of not letting female friendships last very long and I would have liked to see that change with Elsa.
Day 5- Favourite Female Recurring Character (Past or Present)
Granny
I choose Granny because she’s such a kickbutt despite being an older woman. She may knit but she also runs her own businesses and is handy with a crossbow. She’s loyal and fiercely protective of her loved ones. It’s a shame that time constraints have reduced Granny to a glorified extra now. Also, Granny can run and keep up with characters who are half her age.
