I have to admit, I don’t want to have Cora be King George’s true love because I don’t want her to be another good person who lost her love and then became evil. I like her being just plain evil.
I do like the idea of Cora being the one to have poisoned George’s first love. She is miller’s daughter, but is extremely ambitious. She wants wealth and power. So she finds Rumple and learns magic from him. However, as well as actual power, she also wants official power. George has that power. Unfortunately, George already has somebody. If she can remove that small obstacle, she’s home free.
Unless George finds out, of course.

Oh, and if Cora as the miller’s daughter married King George, and after the deal with Rumple and loss of Regina drank the potion mentioned, so as to keep Rumple from taking any other children she might have (who knows what the deal was exactly in our story), it would be interesting to consider that Regina may actually be King George’s daughter, and he thinks he is childless.
Which, in a way, would make Regina and Charming kinda, sorta, almost siblings. Yikes. LOL
We know that Cora met Rumple before she met Henry Sr, because he said so in “We Are Both.” We don’t know exactly how corrupted Cora was at that point though. Henry Sr seems so lovely and passive, I’m baffled as to how he ended up married to a monster like Cora. So I’d always figured that they must have met and married before she lost the plot, or at least before he was aware that she’d lost the plot, but now it’s sounding like maybe that’s not the case. Maybe a newly pregnant Cora just needed a way out of her marriage to George and her deal with Rumple, and Henry Sr happened to be the unlucky bugger who came along at the wrong time and got trapped in her scheme.
Maybe the only way Cora could keep Rumple from taking Regina was by saying that she wasn’t the child of the King, and the deal was that Rumple would get the first born of Cora and the King. So Cora recruited Henry Sr to be the stand in, to say they were having an affair and he was the baby’s father.
Glitch is, wouldn’t Rumple have been able to tell she was lying, and as such, wouldn’t have let her out of the deal that easily?
Also, if Cora did then go on to have a child which was supposedly Henry’s, then what’s the deal with this poison, and why would George have used it on Snow if it clearly hadn’t really worked on Cora?
Anyway, if Cora IS George’s lost wife, I’d say it’s guaranteed that Cora will end up back in SB. And there must be more coming for George in SB, or they wouldn’t have shown him at the end of “Lady of the Lake.”
This is a very interesting thread … Especially since I’ve had a problem for a long time that The Miller’s Daughter in the original tale was to marry the King. But she doesn’t. She marries Henry in OUaT. If that relationship fell apart with George, that would explain it. Definitely looking forward to a King George episode.
Maybe George fell in love with Ariel? The thing she gave up maybe wasn’t her voice this time around?
I’ve thought a lot about this theory and I have some problems with it. Knowing Cora’s personality now, I don’t see why she would sacrifice power and wealth being with King George would provide. Unless she was naive and in love with someone else who wasn’t so rich and powerful (Henry Sr.) but later came to regret choosing Henry once she realized how hard a life she has as a poor, married woman.
But as soon as she finds out that she is pregnant with Regina, she starts dabbling in magic to help boost herself from poverty but magic eventually corrupts and changes her.

We know that she’d met Rumple and gained power before meeting Henry. Perhaps while she was with King George, her powers and ego grew to a point where she could no longer stand being the obedient wife of a king, having to bow to his wishes. If she wanted to be the one in charge in the relationship, it’d make sense that she left and found someone humble like Henry, who she could dominate over.
