I want him to say simply because of how interesting this can be taken–also, it is good to have someone play the antagonist seeing as how the two main ones from last season are looking for redemption. Not that that is a problem. 🙂 Just that there needs to be conflict within he show. Cora will probably have her scenes also, but Captain Hook is a bit more colorful.
We know he wants revenge on Rumpelstiltskin. Regina is going to hate him for helping Cora. Belle is not going to befriend him. Emma is sheriff and will probably have numerous confrontations with him.
This might be a bit off topic here, but I am wondering why people seem to be loving Emma and Captain Hook.

If he’s just going to end up as Emma’s love interest, no thanks.

In total agreement. Right now I’m very bored with his character. Hook was always bad and very flamboyant. That’s what I keep hoping to see. All they’ve done is give him an English accent (Jack Sparrow is soooo overdone these days).
Either develop the character or let him go.

The reason I disagree with that, is because it’s all been done before. “The Villan”, and “The Good Guy” are seen all the time. There’s so much potential with what the writers could do with hook…..I want them to use more imagination with this.
I saw a post on ABC’s board, and the poster was exactly right. There’s talk about people who want to see villans with villans, and good folks with good folks. Hook + Regina. Can you say Boris and Natasha (Bullwinkle)?
It’d be booring for Hook to remain a stereotypical villan. It’d be a shame not to use more imagination than that. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I agree and disagree with you. Yes the good and bad guys are seen a dime a dozen. However this show has shown that these characters are not stereotypical good and bad guys at all. They have fleshed out villains more than most movies and tv shows and given their history which explains how they became what they became. However just as people are layered they have shown glimpses of goodness in all “villains” in Regina (with Henry), Rumple (with Belle, and Henry in some ways). They have fleshed out the good guys as well. Snow White stole from Charming, Charming was seen twisting a neck etc. Each of the characters have shown that they are not stereotypical. Yes Snow and Charming seem stereotypical but OUAT has done a superb job on showing the deeper side of these characters..
It all depends on Hook deals with the very things that can cause him to embrace the darkness. If his revenge is simply too great to overcome then he is going to become more than simply a villain he is going to have his heart and soul consumed by the darkness… a villain among villains..
I do think the cards line up to have Hook want to be a good guy. And as you say it is boring to have the stereotypical villain and it would be boring to have Hook be the stereotypical good guy. In fact if they did make him to suddenly want to do right for Emma alone and emphasize the love interest aspect I might gag. I would much rather have him show keen interest in Emma struggle with him womanizing ways (maybe be confronted by some husbands), his revenge, etc. And if it is too much it is too much but I would feel more satisfied that no matter what path the writers take him that they fleshed out the story enough where Hook is given the chance he deserves.. and that Hook chooses his destiny with his eyes wide open, accepting the consequences good and bad as they come…
Once of the things that makes Hook so interesting, is that he can never be a squeaky-clean good guy. He can be good, but his halo will always be cracked. In several places. That said, this just opens the door to more possibility for the writers — providing they take the initiative. That’s one reason I want Hook to stick around. They haven’t done enough with him yet.
As long as he adds to the story, then I’ll be happy. I just don’t want him to be Emma’s love interest.
Hook is a great character, and as a lot of other people have mentioned, there is so much potential for his character to expand and many paths that can be taken with him.
I like how one minute you see him be a badass villain alongside Cora, but the next minute he’s being cheeky, and/or helps his opposing side. He’s a character that isn’t set in stone, and will do whatever it takes to get what he needs even if that means switching sides, and I find the show more enjoyable with his humor 😆
Trying really hard to not be bias, but he isn’t a complete rip off of Jack Sparrow because Jack just happens to be one of the most iconic pirate characters and we are just so used to seeing his personality and such being his, when it really is the typical characteristics of pirates in general. We’re lucky to have Colin play Hook, thus giving him that cute irish accent 😉
