Yes, it is the commentary that i was thinking on. The producers say something like they wrote the part for Robert but never thought they would get him. They say something like they had so much fun with the character that it expanded on writing the scene for him in the Pilot that they then made him be in two scenes in the pilot. They say his role expanded so that he could be at the end of the pilot to because they fell in love with his role and he became a huge part of the fabric and DNA of the show.
They don’t quite come out and say what i was saying though, so maybe they didn’t mean it though that is how it sounded to me the first time i heard it. That they did not intend him to be a big part of the DNA of the show and then as they started writing him he become a bigger part. I don’t know.
It doesn’t matter really at this point. I think Bae is the father. I totally agree that the producers have completely given the game away. The only thing in the show that would suggest it is just that Bae vanished to our world and Emma had a baby so that that guy would be important and that Bae is the only fairytale character out there that we know of. And just the simple Romeo and Juliet of it all with the Dark One’s son and the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. That is just classic story telling going on there.
Yes, I think you’re right hjbau. They did say that they were so surprised and thrilled to have gotten Robert. They really didn’t expect that he’d do it!. I can understand how the rest of their statement could be interpreted to mean that they expanded his role beyond the pilot 🙂
I guess we’re all in agreement that Bae is shaping up to be Henry’s dad and it’s looking like Neal Cassady 😀 While we find out about Henry’s father in 2×06 I just hope we don’t have to wait until the end of the season to find out about Bae. It will be a long 7 months…sigh………

Yeah, i do agree that we are probably going to learn that the mystery man is Henry’s father in Ep 6 and most likely not learn that he is Bae until later on in the season. Why show your hand that easily, but then again they did just toss stuff out there last season that seemed like they should have had a big reveal for, like Regina knowing Emma was the savior, so who knows what they will do.
On a related note…
If Neal is Bae, I wonder if Rumple will suspect him this time. He might have his blinders on a little bit, given his new, self-appointed task of breaking the barrier curse. He might be so distracted by pitting magic against magic that he might not even notice Bae is right under his nose.
It’s agonizing, but they might write it so that WE find out who Bae is by the end of Season 2, but Rumple doesn’t.
I admit, it would be funny if Rumple just thinks: “Oh interesting. Henry’s birth father.” and moves on. And then maybe in some climactic scene – maybe Hook is about to kill Rumple, or Cora is about to harm Henry – Bae reveals himself and saves the day. Or something. I can’t express how much I’m dying to see this reunion, but I agree TheGoldenKey; the big Bae-related stuff will probably happen near the end of season (if not the series *gulp*).

Here are my thoughts on this. Bae, having been abandoned himself by this father, would never do the same to his own child. So I don’t think he’d know that Henry is his. Thus, if he is indeed Neal Cassady, would explain why he has never tried to contact Emma or make his way to Storybrooke.
I also think that after Rumple let him go that was the final straw for him. He’s running from his father and has no interest at this time to reunite. So, I think the postcard was a warning. A warning to watch his back as his father is now going to come looking for him.

Dunno why I’ve never noticed it before reading Naomi’s last post, but Neal and Bael do look awfully similar, don’t they?
I’d imagine that if he’s Bae, he’d probably try to stay out of Rumple’s way right after getting into town. He’d probably want to observe how he’s acting first, to see if he’s worthy of forgiveness yet.
I know, right? Visual cues are always sketchy to go by, but look: Mystery Man is wearing essentially the modern equivalent of Bae’s old clothes. (Loving that green hoodie.)
Thanks again to AntBee for the photos.
I think the show’s creators are definitely doing the casting/costuming on purpose. Whether it’s to fool us or appease us is still beyond me.

If that’s the case, then why would he go to storybrook? Especially if he doesn’t know about Henry.
In an interview with K&H (or maybe it was one of the other writers) it said that now that we have seen what happens when someone tries to leave storybrook, the next question is what happens when someone from the outside tries to come in? So maybe Neal/Bae is trying to get in but it’s a bit trickier than just crossing the boarder…

Who knows-Maybe he’ll shrink back into a little kid? Or maybe the memory loss works both ways?

So he’d forget his non-FTL life, only remember being Bae, not Neal, only remember Rumple, not Emma?
