Emma’s Love Interest

[oncer]

Bae it has to be Bae

I’m wondering how many people are going to be disappointed if it turns out that Baelfire is not going to be her love interest/True Love at all. 🙂

I won’t be disappointed. I would so be happy if he isn’t. It is what it is though.

If another guy comes along who looks like he would be a good match for Emma, I’d root for him. But right now I’ll just stick with Bae, because I’m looking forward to potential Charming vs. Rumple family drama 😎

The above. 😎

Even if Jack is a completely new character (not Baelfire), he sounds like someone who – while being kind and everything – could still keep Emma on her toes (and vice versa)…

I could easily root for Emma being with someone like that. Most of my excitement about Emma having a love interest next season doesn’t come from ‘hero finally getting a love interest’. The last episode proved to me that if the entire series Emma’s ‘true love’ was her son I’d be perfectly happy. Knowing that she gets to try a romantic relationship next season excites me because I can’t see Emma in a relationship at all similar to the ones we’ve already seen on the show: be it her parents, Rumple/Belle, Regina/David, Nova/Grumpy, Cinderella/Thomas…etc.

It’s going to be difficult, awkward, and probably have a lot of eye rolling. Can’t wait to meet the guy (whoever he is) that get’s to fall in love/date Emma Swan. He’s going to have to be a special man or just very persistent…. 😆

For sure. 😉

I just want it to be someone surprising; someone we wouldn’t expect but when explained it makes sense. Like when we found out that Rumple was the beast.

Like some others, the reason I want Bae to be the father has to do with Rumple. I’d love to see Gold and Charming as rival Grandpas. I just love those two in scenes together. I think the family dynamic would be hilarious.

However, if Bae has no connection with Emma I’ll be fine with that. I actually ship Emma with herself right now. Girl’s got a lot of baggage she needs to work out. Starting a relationship with all that isn’t ideal, in my opinion.

I was kind of shocked to hear them announce that last season was about Emma learning to be a parent and now we’re going to put her into a romantic relationship. Not only does she have a lot of baggage from past men, but now she is going to be learning how to be a child (of a Prince and Princess) and how to be a full-time parent (along with a war starting and magic being added to the mix).

It seems like a lot to have on your plate and then add a boyfriend and dating! 😯

Since we know he is coming at some point next season, hopefully it won’t be for awhile (looks like he won't pop up for the first few episodes). And when he does, hopefully he's good at battling, traveling through other realms, and curse breaking: those might be the only dating options for Emma next season. Still love the possible family dynamic of Rumple/Charming households being joined..

Yes, I was surprised too because she has so many issues right now that realistically they could definitely hold off until at least next season to introduce another love interest for Emma.

So here's what I'm hoping is what they do instead of another Graham/Emma type of situation that goes bad. (Not that couldn't have worked, but since I'm still sticking to the theory that Bae, or JackBae as I now think of him is Emma's true love and Henry's father, I hope that whenever he finally arrives in Storybrooke which might be near mid-season or even close to the end of the season based on spoilers that have come out so far, that they included the spoiler about Emma's love life because there's just so many issues now there that they have to work on becoming friends again this season and then it will turn into something more next season.

I think that by having an outsider arrive in Storybrooke that was untouched by the Curse like JackBae and that she presumably knew before, at least Emma can have one person to go to when she's stressed about everyone wanting her to be the Savior, or when she's upset about her situation with her parents, or maybe even being weirded out and a little depressed by so many of the Enchanted Lands people who have a one true love especially as Emma learns more about that concept.

If they're cutting back on August's role then I don't think he could fill this role as rumored. Plus, I think that by already trying to make Emma believe so hard last season that she was “The Savior”, he became just another person in Storybrooke that was relying on her save everyone. I'm hoping that JackBae is different then that in that he doesn't expect anything from Emma, and he already loved her before he even knew she was “The Savior” unlike any other potential love interest from the Enchanted Forest now that everyone has their memories back.

I agree that Emma finding love when she has just gained custody (for now, possible) of Henry, learned that her parents are Snow White and Prince Charming, must prepare for whatever role she will have in the final battle, and will probably be expected to keep order in Storybrooke is a lot. But at the same time, the scenerio whoever this guy will be helping her to cope with the situation, while at the same time they both poke fun at each other seems possible.
