    ….what if Neal comes back to life. But then, like, leaves SB. And we never see him because he s off in NYC living his life. Rump could say his final good byes. Henry will alwaysvhave the option of “going to see Neal” if ever the actor can’t film for some reason. I think it could work.

    Because

    1) I can’t imagine a reality where Neal doesn’t want to be an active participant in his child’s life. He wouldn’t pack up and move many states away where he could only see Henry on some weekend and every other holiday

    2) I can’t imagine A and E pulling a character “out of heaven” and make them live in this world and claim it was any kind of happy ending. I mean…S6 of Buffy, anyone?

    And this is the same show that had a woman constantly forgive a man who always ended up betraying her trust in the end, even now while she’s under a sleeping curse and is refusing to wake her up because he loves power more than his wife.

    This is also the same show that had a woman purposefully rape her little sister’s soul mate, and get pregnant by said soul mate.

    And this is also the show that has one woman literally drag her entire family to Hell to save a man who was seconds away from killing/sending them all to Hell anyway.

    If what @TheWatcher predicts comes true, I would not be the least bit of surprised.

    Oh I wouldn’t be surprised. But if they did bring him back to life, they’d always (always) have to dance around the questions about seeing Neal again, why Neal couldn’t move to SB, why Henry didn’t see Neal more often, why Rumple didn’t see Neal more often, and they’d have to deal with pesky lingering triangle plot. For those reasons–and maybe not so much the ones I listed above–I doubt they’d do it. Possible? Yes, because anything on a show with shody worldbuilding and rules of magic, is possible. Probable? Not so much.

    1. They can make Henry move with Neal, removing any reminder that Emma had a past with someone else and focus solely on ships.

    2. This show is nothing like Buffy (unless the rip off a scene or two), they stopped exploring human emotions and always go for the shiny distractions. They can’t waste time on how characters feel when they have a new Disney characters.

    . But if they did bring him back to life, they’d always (always) have to dance around the questions about seeing Neal again, why Neal couldn’t move to SB, why Henry didn’t see Neal more often, why Rumple didn’t see Neal more often, and they’d have to deal with pesky lingering triangle plot.

    I imagine it’d go like this:

    Neal: Hey Emma. Zeus let me come back to life because (plot) and i just wanted to say that i totally accept that you and hook are together and happy, and i want you to raise henry to be a great guy, and i’ve said my goodbyes to my father, we are totally cool now and now i am going back to live in NYC because thats where i was happy and i will be happier now knowing that you are happy. Oh and if Henry ever wants to come visit, he can, but i wont be coming back to storybrook because i hate magic or something and i dont want to be apart of this. He doesn’t have to come visit though. I trust hook to raise him to be a really great, heroic, guy and not give him to any villains…like he did to me….oh what? He tried to give henry to zelena and then sail him to the middle of nowhere without your permission? Oh…well that doesnt’ matter. Anyway, bye. Oh and can you tell ur parents to change your little brother’s name? It’s….kinda creepy….
    Emma: Sure thing bro! *dabs*

    1) I can’t imagine a reality where Neal doesn’t want to be an active participant in his child’s life. He wouldn’t pack up and move many states away where he could only see Henry on some weekend and every other holiday

    Is hilarious that everyone is making lots of theories about this, i dont even know why people are thinking to much about this, especially bc we dont have media making a big deal about it, where are the articles about what character would that be, i think that most likely is nobody important and that is a SB person that we dont see a long time, or maybe they mean Violet that will stay in SB for next season. I continue to say is not Neal.

    But to answer your question, MEMORY LOSS, or how about Rumple does to Neal what Regina did to Emma on 311, Rumple would know that neal seeing emma with Hook would be painful, so he makes the ultimate sacrifice, let it go of his son, would erase his memories and give him happy ones, Neal would not remember anything, would never seen again until the plot requests and if requests. Obvious, Rumple would not say to anyone this, bc is not like he cares about any of the others and bonds with henry, so would also be on character with rumple, keep secrets from everyone or maybe he would tell Belle if they dont break up for real.

    Or bring Dylan as teen Bae, with no memories and no one would say anything about it, bc they dont have deep conversations anymore and Bae would not have his memories and would think he always lived with rumple.

    2) I can’t imagine A and E pulling a character “out of heaven” and make them live in this world and claim it was any kind of happy ending. I mean…S6 of Buffy, anyone?

    Well using some comments i saw online and fits the show, something called retcon, was simply Emma having a dream, or hades gave her that vision and was not really Neal. Or neal got a second chance from Heaven to have his happy ending on earth.

    By the way didnt thought much about this, simply used what the show is doing now, memory loss and retcon, so would fit very well, would make neal fall in love with someone off screen and if they wanted him again on last episode of the show, he would sudden remember, but would have his new TL, and bla, bla, bla.

    I dont want any of this and neither i want MRJ back at this show, not even for one scene, but the show no longer follows logic, so in that case is very easy to do things that confuse the viewers and stil bring ratings, bc people would eb like , will neal appear again?? will he remember, etc, etc, and one thing appears for sure, MRJ appears to admire A&E very much at least according to Matt M.

    He tried to give henry to zelena

    Wait, when did this happen? I recall he was actually trying to get Henry out of town to get him away from Zelena. Still a reckless move, though.

    I agree. Especially as there is nothing for Neal in New York. Had Tamara just been Neal’s fiancée and he had to leave her in New York whilst he dealt with the Storybrooke side of things THEN I could’ve seen Neal being willing to be in New York and have Henry visit every weekend plus him visiting Henry as often as he could. It would’ve also avoided the destructive CSF triangle. Unfortunately, we are where we are and as things currently stand, there is no chance in hell Neal would leave Henry willingly. Also how different would the show have been if the writers had actually had Emma CHOOSE who she wanted to be with instead of taking that choice away by killing Neal. Even if Emma chose Hook, it would be a lot better than what it is now where Hook only won by default because Neal’s dead. There was no resolution to the CSF triangle and because of that the toxicness created in the fandom because of CSF still continues to fester.

    Or bring Dylan as teen Bae, with no memories and no one would say anything about it, bc they dont have deep conversations anymore and Bae would not have his memories and would think he always lived with rumple.

    Actually I wouldn’t mind teen Bae being brought back because it would be so tragic for Henry. He has his dad back but Baelfire has no idea who Henry is. Just imagine the emotions Henry would go through. Also imagine what would happen if Baelfire realises there’s something about Henry that nobody is telling him. Henry would befriend Baelfire because it would be the only way he could spend time with him but it would be such emotional scenes.

    All magic comes with a price!
