Ariel casting call?

[HappyEndings]

I guess I should say maybe Ariel is in FL insteald of NL, what if this is the Mermaid that Regina was talking about that wouldn’t make a deal or something like that? Funny, what if she was the “Home Office”, she can walk on land and see and perhaps wanted it all 😕

There are many theories about this.

1) Regina has been to NL and encountered the Mermaid there

2) Mermaids are in both lands (we know for SURE they are in NL, we don’t know they are in FTL yet)

3) Mermaids travel between worlds. Phee can jump in here and tell you the theory about water as a way between worlds.

She can’t have been to Neverland, she didn’t even recognize the land when its map appeared on the globe. It’d necessarily have to be the other way around, as in Ariel went to FTL from NL.

Yes, that theory was floating around before ASOTM. I’m more inclined to believe that mermaids exist in different lands and we’ll see Ariel in NL.

A few things:
1) Never expected her to be the fun fairytale character as the original story is DARK DARK DARK. I want a mix of the two.

2) I don’t think them calling her a fairytale character is evidence that she’s in FTL. Alice and Wonderland, Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid they are all just “fantasy” stories. It’s just that both Alice and Peter have their own lands in their stories so we expect that those lands already exist. Since Ariel doesn’t have a fantasy land associated with her story, she can be anywhere.

Technically speaking, the Little Mermaid and Hans Christian Andersen’s stories are considered “fairy tales”, while Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland are not. I’m still siding with Ariel being in FTL because that is typically the home of fairy tale characters. I would say Adam & Eddy not knowing when to introduce her yet implies that they don’t necessarily just want to lump Ariel into Neverland just because there happens to be mermaids there. Seeing mermaids will certainly be something that will happen in Neverland, but that doesn’t mean we have to see Ariel among them.

True having mermaids in NL doesn’t mean we’re getting Ariel but if you’re going to do her story, what better time than when you’ve already set up mermaids in the world? Also, if we don’t get her soon I fear for the writers because the fans are slightly rabid for her by this point.

But Adam & Eddy did say that they want to do her story right and not rush into it just to please fans sooner. Since I doubt Neverland will last the entire Season, we may get Ariel in the 2nd half of the Season instead. Or, perhaps Neal and MAP run into Ariel in FTL. I doubt Neal will find a quick way back to Storybrooke, so he and MAP need something to do while he’s stuck in FTL.

Yes if they do Ariel I want it to be well thought out and not a one-off. I would kill to be a fly on the writers room wall at this point because they have so many balls up in the air it comes down to: how much of each land/time are we going to be seeing. I figure events in NL of the present weigh more heavily and to me, personally, that opens up the door for Ariel. But I think that for the first half of the season we’ll see FTL of the present with Neal and MAP only here and there (the 1st episode, and maybe they get 2 or 3 episodes that focus on them). With Sarah and Jamie both having to leave soon-ish they’ll utilize them at the start. Same with SB, we’ll see it and Belle in the 1st episode and then in my head Belle leaves SB in episode 6 and goes to FTL where she joins Neal and MAP leave the storyline to continue trying to retake the land. Bae and Belle then spend some time in FTL trying to get to NL but again the focus goes to NL of the present. I’m sensing very little flashbacks. This is what’s in my head.

i don’t think they will have Belle do much more her part is pretty much over she is going to be like Granny and Red was no more than that. FL and NL are going to be the main theme this year nothing else to see in SB in fact they have packed up and left Canada to my understanding they were only renting the space for Gold’s office even the clock on the library was a cgi did you know that? We are finally moving on to new characters and new adventure yea!!!!

I disagree. As long as Rumplestiltskin lives, Belle will always have a part to play.
