KeymasterVery disappointed about Meghan as I really wanted to see a little Whalewolf play out. However, K&H have said that we may still be seeing her as her new show is cast in Vancouver and they may be able to work around her schedule. I’ve been off the boards for a while so I hope that information hasn’t changed as I’d be sorely disappointed. 🙁
It hasn’t changed :). Since Intelligence is going to be shot in the same city, H and K have hinted that we will still be seeing Ruby occasionally.

‘Once Upon a Time’: Neal and Emma
On May 1, Zap2It posted some interesting news about “Once Upon a Time” characters Neal and Emma. Michael Raymond James, who plays Neal, talks about the final episodes of the show.
Warning: If you do not want to know possible “Once Upon a Time” spoilers, then stop reading.
Emma has suspicions about Tamara and as fans know, she has tried to warn Neal, but he is not listening. The actor said that his character simply is not ready to accept another betrayal. He said,
“Emma’s certainly going to keep trying to get Neal to see, but the place Neal’s at is the eye sees what it wants to see, the ears hear what it wants to hear. It’s incredibly difficult for him to turn that corner and even entertain the idea that a big betrayal, akin to being betrayed by his father, would happen again. It’s something that he’s not ready to even think about.”
In regards to his feelings about Emma, a sneak peek clip revealed that Neal talks to her. He says that he regrets leaving her and admits that he never forgave himself for it.
Even though he is engaged to Tamara, his feelings for Emma are going to always be there. That will certainly make it more difficult to remain in a relationship with his bride-to-be.
Are you looking forward to watching the final two episodes of “Once Upon a Time?”

‘Once Upon a Time’ star Michael Raymond-James talks season 2 finale, Neal/Emma romance
Once Upon a Time actor Michael Raymond-James, who plays Bae/Neal, gives some hints about the season 2 finale in a new interview.
Only two episodes remain of Once Upon a Time‘s second season. Their titles “Second Star to the Right” and “And Straight on ‘Til Morning” make it clear that they’ll be focusing on the Peter Pan story, and Bae will have a pivotal role to play – but how?
Speaking to HitFix, Raymond-James teases that Neal, “Has some bumps coming up. There is a lot of unfinished business coming up with Neal and Emma and his dad [Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold].”
In the finale, we’ll see some of Neal’s issues resolved, while more present themselves. “I think Neal is gonna begin to sort of say, gosh, what do I do now?” Raymond-James says. “There’s a lot coming up that’s going to answer a lot of questions, but create new questions, too. We’re gonna get to see where we go from here, after what happens in the finale.”
As far as the Neal/Emma ship is concerned, the actor tells TV Line that while Neal still feels guilty for leaving Emma, “He felt he didn’t have a choice in the matter. I mean, we’re talking about her saving a townful of people that he grew up with, people from Fairytale Land. So in Neal’s mind, he jumped on a grenade in the name of the greater good.”
Finally, Zap2It has a featurette video about Baelfire, which includes a new season 2, episode 21 sneak peek.
“Neal is always going to have feelings for Emma, no matter what,” he says. “Those feelings can’t be put in a jar and set aside, you’re always carrying them with you. Neal is, anyway.”
Will Neal and Emma move closer to rekindling their romance in the final two episodes of the season?!
Once Upon a Time season 2, episode 21 “Second Star to the Right” airs Sunday at 8/7c on ABC.

KeymasterModerator’s Post: MRJ sure has been busy! Because so many of these interviews have been almost the exact same thing, I’ve merged them altogether in this thread in order to keep the boards a little less crazy. Hope that’s ok with everyone! Thanks–RG

I love MRJ! That’s all. 😀
He better be a full fledged member of S3. Since they’re losing Meghan I see no reason why they shouldn’t add MRJ to the cast, Baelfire is super important for everything.
Agreed! 😀 We have too much invested in this character. Our hearts broke for him as a child and we couldn’t bear to see Henry lose his father. 😮
Same here… Love MRJ 🙂 seems like his charm just keeps sneaking up on you 😆
Definitely we need Bae/Neal as the regular member in S3….. Pretty please to Adam & Eddy with cherry on top 😀 😀Hmmm…. Poor Bae having to cope with yet another betrayal from the one he trust. I can see why he rather stays in denial instead of dealing with it.

ParticipantOnce Upon a Time’s Michael Raymond-James: Neal and Emma Have ‘Unfinished Business’
This Sunday on Once Upon a Time (ABC, 8/7c), Emma’s determination to get the goods on bad Tamara will tee up a much-need talk between her and Neal, the father of her son Henry and the great love she lost under, well, extraordinary circumstances. Michael Raymond-James spoke with TVLine about Season 2′s penultimate hour, which will feature hearts on sleeves and change the course of at least one part of Neal’s life.
TVLINE | Emma been trying to convince Neal that Tamara is bad news. What new evidence might she trot out this week?
You know Emma, man. She gets on a case and she goes after it pretty fiercely. She definitely feels that Tamara has got some evil intentions, and she is going to try to convince me that she may have had something to do with Regina being kidnapped.TVLINE | Whether he was protecting Emma’s destiny or not, do you think that Neal still harbors some guilt about what happened all those years ago?
I am glad you asked that. Yes. I think he does, but Neal feels that he really didn’t have a choice in the mater. It was a matter of her fulfilling her destiny and for the greater good. I mean, we’re talking about her saving a town full of people that I grew up with, people from Fairytale Land, so these aren’t total strangers where I can be like, “Screw them. This is about me and my love.” So, in Neal’s mind he was sort of jumping on the grenade for the greater good. But of course there’s guilt. Of course there’s pain for having inflicted pain on someone you care about. I don’t know how you get beyond that.TVLINE | [Series creators] Eddy [Kitsis] and Adam [Horowitz] told us that in addition to whatever Emma might still feel for Neal, Neal probably still feels something for Emma. Is he going to start to cop that?
You’re going to see some of that this week, a broaching of that subject is definitely going to come. We’re beginning to scratch the surface on that and at least acknowledge some of the unfinished business that’s been hanging over our heads since we first saw each other again.TVLINE | ‘Cause I am just telling you, man — if it was me? I’d carry a torch for Jennifer Morrison for some time.
[Laughs] She is the best. One of the great things about this show is the cast. Morrison and I have become really, really great buddies, so it’s so much fun going to work. If I’m having a bad day, she knows how to make that better and vice versa. We sort of developed a shorthand between each other as people in terms of getting through the days together. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation to fall into.TVLINE | We saw Tamara eavesdropping when Neal and August reconnected in New York City, but are we ever going to connect any dots on why exactly she decided to latch on to you?
That’s a good question. The thing with this show, aside from it being an incredibly difficult to talk about, is that we, audience members and actors alike, need to be able to trust that the future will further define the meaning of the present. There are times that you just have to go with it and you know that the people in charge of the show are smart people and they’re aware of where they’re leaving things, and it’s all by design. Further on down the road we’ll have more explanation, so when you go back and look at it again, it will tie together.TVLINE | Let’s talk about the blanks we know will be filled in this week. What can you say about the flashbacks for Young Bae, hanging with Wendy Darling in Victorian London?
I can say that you want to stay tuned for them because it’s going to be awesome.TVLINE | We’ll find out how it is that he knew Hook previously?
That could be something we find out, yeah….TVLINE | There’s a “really big” twist coming up this week involving Rumple and Neal. What can you say about it? Is it going to be emotional gut-punch?
At PaleyFest, Bobby [Carlyle] called it a “game-changer,” and I think that this will certainly change the course of the path that they had previously entered on.TVLINE | Is it more shocking, or more sad? Or a bit of both?
Bob Dylan had a great quote one time about people asking, “Do you think any of these kids who come to your shows and listen to the words you’re saying have any idea what you’re actual message is?” He said, “Listen, man, I just go out there and sing, I don’t try to get anybody to listen.” I think that however people receive [the twist], whether it’s shocking or a gut-punch, is up to them. We just go out there and try to tell a story as best we can.TVLINE | Going from something so grounded, real and gritty as Terriers to this, was that sort of by design, or do you just go where the work is?
I always choose jobs based on material, and when I first met with Adam and Eddy and they discussed what this show was and what they wanted to do with the character, their enthusiasm is incredibly infectious. It is sort of a departure for me — even from fantasy shows that I have done before, like True Blood, which is much darker –but I was so interested in the stories that they were telling that I wanted to jump on board. I try to stay grounded whether I’m talking about stealing somebody’s wallet in Terriers or if I’m talking about magic in Storybrooke!"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy

KeymasterModerator’s Post: Y’all are keeping me on my toes this week. 😆 I merged the two together as the interviews are the same. Just as a reminder, try and check to make sure the report hasn’t already been posted. I know it’s hard this week because everyone it seems is interviewing MRJ or talking about the finale and I’ve noticed that often times it’s the same report but from different places. It’s ok to stick them in the same thread so we’re not killdng the server or having the same conversations. Thanks everyone!–RG
