We long suspected it, but here is the new RH.

I wonder if they’ll just ignore the recast and pretend it was the same guy all along or if they’ll work round it by giving a reason for the recast such as Robin Hood is a nickname that gets passed on so both this guy and Tom Ellis are Robin Hood but not the same Robin Hood. Maybe they’ll do a nudge nudge wink wink to the recast by having either Rumple or Belle meeting Robin Hood and saying “You’ve changed since I last saw you” or “I remember you differently”

Good idea Price. With a character so minor as RH (at least minor thus far, we’ve only seen him once) I fully able to suspend disbelief that he is the same guy that we saw in Lacey. But if they did want to come up with an explanation, that is perfectly ok too! I could see RH being an honorary title, except it throws a kink in my whole “father of Tamara thing” which is why I hope they say, “same guy!”

Maybe if they darken his hair that make him look closer to the original RH, sorry to say the old one look more like RH then this guy does to me anyway, and the old one looked more rough and tough then this one too.

I know people like my dad’s girlfriend, who watches the show but doesn’t obsess over it, probably won’t even notice it’s a different person cast.  Not everyone is as stalkerish faithful to the show.

As far as “looking” like RH, I agree that he doesn’t look a whole lot like the OUAT original, but I don’t know that there is a specific way RH is supposed to look. He’s British, he has done time period/myth things before. So many actors have played RH that I can’t really figure out how he is supposed to look. For example

So there is no definitive way that RH is supposed to look, really. But if they aren’t going to make RH an honorary title or something then maybe they will darken his hair. Also, we don’t really know how long he is going to be around so it could just come and go.

On The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, when they had to recast the mother after several seasons, they had one character say to her “Ever since you had that baby, there’s been something different about you” and left it at that.

Here’s a question. What arc does he have? Where is he? FTL of the past? FTL of the present? SB?

I think he’s going to teach Snow to use a bow and arrow in FTL past.

Any one want any questions asked on Twitter to Adam and the cast?
