Monica T.: Tell me more about this shocking Once Upon a Time twist!! Dying to know who else is related.
We will find out that two main characters are related, and because they are related, that means that two other characters are also related. Your brain hurt yet? Ours too. Still, we think this twist is one of the best OUAT has ever had.[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"@Slurpeez108 just said this in chat but if Zelena’s father is Leo (NOOOOOOO) then that makes Zelena and Regina half sisters through Cora, and Zelena and Snow half sisters through Leo.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Hmmm, this could go a couple of ways. If Zelena is related to Rumple (which I don’t want), that automatically makes her related to Neal and Henry. If she’s related to Regina somehow, that automatically makes her related to Henry and also Snow via marriage. If she’s the daughter of Cora and Snow’s dad, that automatically makes her related to Snow and Emma (and Henry for that matter). Honestly, if she’s related to almost anyone in the cast, she’s going to be related to someone else too because that’s how this dysfunctional family tree works in OUAT world, LOL 😆
#MoreBOOMLessGloomMaybe Regina and Snow through Zelena, so maybe Leo IS Zelena’s father with Cora which makes Regina having married her sister’s father which makes this Once Upon a Soap Opera.
So, to make it simpler:
Cora and Leo have Zelena.
Cora pairs Regina and Leo together.
Zelena comes back to fight Regina.
We find out that Regina and Zelena are related through Cora, but we then find out about Leo.
This makes Snow and Zelena related, which makes Snow and Regina related.
That, in turn, makes this Once Upon a Soap Opera.
Keeper of Thor’s Hammer, Will Scarlet’s Genie Bottle, Emma’s Gun, Emma and Henry’s Moment at the Castle, Cora, and the infamous Family Tree!
For story purposes, sadly, my money is on Regina and Snow finding out they have a common half-sister. It makes their feud even worse when they learn that their even more family than they think.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"At this stage, I think the likeliest scenario is that Snow and Regina’s parents (Leo and Cora) had an affair once and had a baby named Zelena. Now Zelena is jealous of both her royal half-sisters, their titles, their power, and their families.

If they do that it means Regina married the man her mother had a daughter with, and I think it is too much ick for me. Incest is “in” I suppose with Flowers in the Attic gaining new cultural notoriety and of course Game of Throne’s Cersi and Jaimie but those are both intended to be dark, twisted stories rather than the more hopeful “happy endings” fairy tale tone that I sought in OUAT. The show does have its dark moments and twists but I guess all I can do is hope they won’t do it, because I can’t logically say they wouldn’t.
Besides the ick, it is just all kinds of “retconny” (how could he not recognize Cora years later when agreeing to marry her daughter?!)
Neal being Zelena’s half brother and therefore Regina and Neal are half-brother and sister is also a little icky but less than the above in my opinion. If Henry’s father is the half-brother of his mother’s step-grandmother it sounds bad but its not like Neal and Regina ever knew each other or treated each other like siblings, nor did Regina ever treat Emma as a step-granddaughter or think of Henry as other than her adopted son. I don’t know its just weird still.
Honestly the only combination that doesn’t “ick” me out a little is if EVA is related to Zelena, which makes Regina and Snow related (cousins), without the added ick factor. Eva’s brother could be Zelena’s father and the Wizard of Oz perhaps. It might explain Eva tripping Cora all those years ago , if she thought of her as “that tart who had the gall to break my brother’s heart”, not knowing the whole story perhaps of how Cora was pregnant, and run off by the royal parents. I don’t now, still soap-operaish but maybe a touch better.

If Eva is from Oz maybe she and Zelina and Glinda are sisters?

These are The Fables of Our Lives! 🙁
I really, really don’t want Zelena to be Snow’s sister! Can Regina just have one family to herself without Snow getting half of it too! I’m sorry RG and Jo, but at this rate…I’d much rather see Zelena be Rumple’s daughter! (Though I know it’s low chance) But yeah…I don’t want Regina to have to share her sister…even though I can see a lot of things they can do with it! But since Regina and Neal were almost siblings, let them share Zelena!
Rumple and Regina already have the “father and daughter” type of relationship…would make it so much easier if Zelena was just Rumple’s daughter! I’m sorry…but this would crash Henry’s Family tree to make Cora have a baby with the man who she forced her eldest/youngest daughter to marry!
