What we could see with Henry, however, could be a very interesting foil for Rumple’s character, and could create a kind of juxtaposition. Instead of becoming a dark figure, Henry could become a power for good. He could learn to avoid the same mistake, despite it being foretold by some creepy old fortune teller.
Oh I do think at the end that Henry will remain good, but I could see them doing something with alternate timelines or just visions that the viewers see of the future of an evil!Henry; however, these visions wouldn’t come true in the end. They would be included to add to the angst factor because I’m not sure it’s enough just to have Jared Gilmore be tempted by magic. Also personally I wouldn’t want to see current day Gilmore showing too many signs of potentially going to the dark side, just a few, because he’s the heart of the show, so I think if they took it too far with him, the show would become too dark and not what it originally started out as with a show about people getting their happy endings back and good triumphing over evil. Not that there won’t be even darker times ahead, but they do need to maintain a balance and having Gilmore’s Henry stay mostly on the good side helps that balance very much, imo.
Further, comparing this situation to Star Wars, while I don’t want to insult Jake Lloyd despite the fact he’s not a child anymore, I don’t think he was the right choice to play Anakin; although, I think it would have been very tough to find a child actor that could live up to the expectation of playing such an iconic role at that young of an age. While Jared Gilmore is a good choice for the Henry we’ve seen so far, if they do want to show more glimpses of this possible future, I don’t know if they’d be able to pull it off with Gilmore. Not to criticize him, but maybe it would be easier than having Gilmore try to pull that off by seeing glimpses of a future!Henry.
Oh wait- doesn’t Anakin, foresee his mother getting killed or something & that is what essentially starts him on the road to going all Darth Vader on the Jedi? (My SW is very rusty). Could that be what Rumple see’s- Emma’s death turning Henry vengeful maybe.
Yes, he had visions of his mother in pain, so he tried to save her but was too late. As a result of his mother’s death, he flips out and kills an entire tribe of Tusken Raiders. Later, he has visions of Padme, the mother of Luke and Leia, dying, so he becomes obsessed with doing anything to help save her life including going to the Dark Side, which ends up being what leads to Padme’s death.

It didn’t bother me that much with Graham- I was able to take his death…and really he is the only major death they’ve done. All the other deaths have been of minor side characters or ones we knew were doomed in advance or fake outs like with Archie and Katherine. I just really don’t want to see anything happen to the Charmings, Rumple, or Regina. (Or Belle since she is my favorite fairytale character of all time.) I want to believe they are safe. They are too important to the core story of the show.
A&E have said NONE of the characters are safe- Like you, I don’t want to see the Charmings (or Hook for me at this point), come to an untimely end- I could understand why killing Regina or Rumple would work for their respective total redemptions- but I would be sad about it as i’ve come to like them both a lot.
Personally (& I broke my own rule here with Hook lol), I try not to get to attached to the minor & guest characters, as like you say- they tend to get knocked on the head a lot, or simply never seen or heard of again lol 😉The point is, A&E do like the dramatic & they have told us all along ‘there will be casualties’ & again, ‘no one is safe’ & that’s what makes me nervous.
I know it *can* happen…they are the writers- they can do whatever they want. I just hope they don’t! I am very nervous too- especially about the ominous clue regarding the end of the episode. I have trouble imagining how the show could go on without any one of those core characters- it could be show suicide. It may be idealistic, but I want even Rumple and Regina to find real happiness by the end of the series. I don’t mind A&E putting everyone through the ringer- you need drama for a good story, but death is permanent!
It’s like the musical Into the Woods that I have a total love-hate relationship with…I love many of the songs, love the mish mash of stories…but hate the second act because half the characters get killed!

I know- I’m exactly the same way, I don’t want to see them (any of them) die- sadly that’s what makes them prime targets tho & with E&A telling us point blank from the word do, that no one is safe, other wise there would be no real danger- I always get a bout of nerves when ‘ominous events’ are going to take place, because it may well be our mains.
