People have posted some things recently that he has been filming pretty often but yeah, getting some word out about him on set today would be a VERY good thing for my poor overprotective-of-Neal/MRJ fangirlness.
BTW-Anyone else notice how quiet the cast has been on Twitter lately?! That is beyond odd and kind of alerts me that they must be very busy with filming right now to have abandoned tweeting so much when they were all tweeting maniacs up until the last two weeks. I think that they are not filming today, becuase one of the makeup persons, put yesterday on twitter that yesterday was their friday, so maybe that means that they have 2 days off and start filming again on sunday? also the PA that has been spoiling things, said today on twiter that the american actoras will have a break of filming becuase of thanksgiving, on the last weeek of november and then they should probably film until 20th of december and comeback after new year until i believe middle of april.
But i must confess that im starting to worry about no neal scenes, or at least talk about MRJ being on set.
[adrotate group="5"]Let’s not worry too much. We have a lot of bizarre spoilers but nothing concrete.
Anyway, almost the end of Friday (or at least we’re more than halfway through on the east coast) which means only a short time left until ONCE day!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Getting back to 3×8, I’m glad to see that in the second sneak peek Neal wasn’t the only one to be mistrustful of Rumple. EVERYONE there drew a weapon (except Neal), and Emma was the one who said Rumple would have to go through all of them to get to Henry. Now, whether threatening the dark one with a sword is obsolete (because he’s immortal) is one thing, but the fact that Emma is acting just as protective over Henry as Neal was in 3×4 ought to be enough to shut down that argument that Neal was in the wrong to put his son’s safety first. Not one member of the group stopped to say, hey, wait a sec, maybe we CAN trust Rumple when Henry’s life is in danger. Granted, we need to see the rest of the scene to discover how Rumple proves he’s trustworthy, but I’m glad to see everyone else had the same instinct Neal had not to trust Rumple when it comes to Henry. Also, I was glad to hear Wendy stick up for Neal in the first sneak peek, when she said, “Do you really think I would trust a man who abandoned his own son?” I love how Wendy so accurately understands Neal and his motivations. She understands the pain that Bae went through when magic tore apart his family. I just wish the Neal-haters would stop and desist in giving Neal such a hard time for mistrusting Rumple…Rumple clearly needs to earn trust after he broke the deal with his son, and yet, his son, the victim, gets all the blame. It’s getting old.

So, a new interview of Jennifer Morrison came out. Needless to say, I’m more than a little disappointed that the media outlet is obviously biased in favor of CS, since not one question was asked about Emma’s feelings for Neal. *sigh*
Tonline: How do you view Emma’s relationship with Hook?
Morrison: Hook’s really taken her by surprise in positive ways, over and over again. She’s so grateful he didn’t lie, and overwhelmed with gratitude that he helped save David’s life — and now trying to save Henry. Hook has stepped up and is present in selflessly offering his help. She’s not used to people showing up for her, Emma’s used to people letting her down, so she has an overwhelming response to someone who doesn’t let her down and is proving to be there for her. Hook is adding to her life and helpful to her life. It does have her attention and whether or not it turns into something more, it will always be meaningful to her that he’s participating in her life in such a significant way.I’m not sure what to think about J-Mo’s answer. While Hook is stepping up and helping her this season by helping save Charming, Neal and Henry, is he really suddenly without flaws in Emma’s eyes? I’m still waiting for Emma’s reaction when she discovers Hook was the lover of Baelfire’s mom. Plus, there was that whole thing about Hook leaving Emma for dead in a magically-fortified jail cell in S2. Is J-Mo teasing that such things don’t matter to Emma? The only thing that gives reassurance is that the kiss with Hook may or may not turn to into something more with Hook…yet I’m starting to think he may successfully break through Emma’s barriers soon enough, having done so in NL where Emma is emotionally vulnerable and therefore more easily taken in.
ETonline: What can you tease about Sunday’s episode, Think Lovely Thoughts?
Morrison: We’re getting close to the point where our heroes, as they call us in the stage directions, are seeing their plan come to fruition. It’s also really redeeming for Emma that saving Neal is helping the situation with Henry. I think there was some confusion with the fans about why Emma would go to save Neal as if it were a distraction from saving Henry. But Neal had lived in Neverland before and she needed to make the next strategic move that would help them get Henry back because they were missing so much information. She saw Neal as the missing puzzle piece that would help them save Henry and that was the truth; he knows how to get them off the island, so it’s been redeeming that Emma trusted her instincts in thinking they would need Neal to beat Pan because she was right.At least J-Mo brought up Neal, but I’m sorta sad that she think Emma was motivated to save Neal because she sees him as a missing puzzle piece to rescue Henry. Surely, Emma was motivated to save Neal, not just for her son, but for herself as well. Even though Emma confessed it’d be easier for her emotionally if Neal weren’t alive, it’s not like she wished him dead maliciously. I want to think at some deep level, it was Emma’s love for Neal which compelled her to want to save Neal, for her own sake, just as Snow said.

The problem is that Emma only see Hook helping and not the sly remarks he made to Charming in 305 about how he’s not doing it for anything but getting to Emma. “Good thing you’re going to die.” “I didn’t do it for you, mate.” I really hate the idea that Emma can’t see some of the less than good form things happening. Like telling her that he WILL win her heart.

I think she was motiviated to save Neal for more than just Henry. She doesn’t want to admit it yet.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I was so thrilled to read a new interview with Robert Carlyle and MRJ. Bless those two, they’re fantastic and really get inside of their characters’ headspace.
Even though Neal is still wary to about trusting that Rumple has Henry’s (Jared Gilmore) best interests at heart, the realization that Rumple went through a similar childhood may actually bring father and son closer. “Neal is somewhat of an internal optimist,” Raymond-James says. “He was willing to forgive his father before and the stakes have been raised now. Now he feels his son’s life is in danger as a direct result of his father and that’s hard to take. The audience realizes that Rumple’s intentions are pure, but Neal doesn’t. Neal is also somebody who’s looking for a second chance himself with Emma [Jennifer Morrison], the woman he loves, and he’s willing to give his father the 35th chance if conditions eventually work out.”
It’s so true that in order to move forward we must make peace with our pasts. Neal and Rumple learning to understand each other better, and working on their relationship, will bring so much personal growth for Neal. Neal so wants his father to be a good man again, and I think something major will happen in 3×8 to help start Neal and Rumple on the path to forgiveness. If Neal can learn to forgive his dad for what he did to him, then he’s probably dreaming of making it up to Henry for not being there the first 11 years of his son’s life (though he would’ve been had he known about Henry). Also, I love that MRJ brought up Neal’s love for Emma; Neal inwardly longs for Emma to be able to forgive him, just as Rumple longs for Neal to forgive him. Forgiveness of the father leads the hero on his journey to achieving his goals. If we see Neal start to believe in second chances with his dad, he may be all the more inspired to try for a second chance with Emma and Henry.

YES!
C’mon official!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well the interviewer didn’t asked about Neal. Once again it goes to the core of the problem that most deny. MRJ is not classically handsome. I find him to be very attractive scruffy manly man and I love his smile. He attracts me far more than Hook could ever do. I just want to lay in bed wrapped in Nealfire’s embraced. But to Hollywood’s standards he is not classical handsome. I have never seen love triangle that didn’t play up both sides equal in the media? So this just baffles me. But a lot of things are staged in Hollywood and they pretty much tell the actor/actress in advance what they want them to say. Therefore it seems the article fawns over Hook and treats Neal very stoically. (Beside S2 didn’t happen, also remember 300 years only half matter; it doesn’t matter in regards to Neal’s feelings concerning the Milha issue, but it does matter in regards to Hook’s feelings concerning the Milha issue.)
We can view this article two ways.
1st way, its pro CS, and perhaps its foreshadowing a future romance.
2nd way, its pro CS, and used as mere distraction from the truth that SF is the intended endgame or representation of true love. And if SF is endgame they don’t and will not alert the fandom at all because it would be an uproar. I honestly think SF will happen during the last season or close the last season. Of course I could be wrong, but I am keeping my hope alive! LOL
"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
1st way, its pro CS, and perhaps its foreshadowing a future romance.
I think this is most likely. I think CS has to be played out to some sort of logical conclusion, which in my view is that they give it a go before Hook realizes that he doesn’t really love Emma, she’s just helped him realize that he could move on in his life and Emma realizes that she’s using Hook to run from her feelings from Neal.
