New Casting Call

[vampirefan12]

I was digging the King George and Cora relationship theory too.

Wow, this is VERY interesting! I’m all in for this theory to turn out true! And I don’t want Cora to be the innocent one either!

[evilqueen]

Hey, it has been confirmed, King Xavier is Prince Henry’s father! The theory is getting more plausible!

Ausiello: Your search is over. The ABC hit is casting the 20-year-old version of Regina’s father as well as his fourtysomething father, presumably to take part in the same flashback that features Rose McGowan as Young Cora.

Xavier is a strange name. Here is what i found on a wep page about it:

Xavier x(a)-vier as a boy’s name is pronounced ecks-ZAY-vee-er, ZAY-vee-er. It is of Basque origin, and the meaning of Xavier is “new house”.
From Etcheberria. Saint Francis Xavier was a 16th-century Jesuit missionary who took Christianity to the East Indies and Japan.

New house ? maybe ’cause they have to sell the castle after Rumple is done with them 😆

Or maybe something to do with Savior. That sounds alike.

When I see the name Xavier, I instantly think of the Professor from X-Men. But I doubt Henry’s dad was a telepathic mutant, so nevermind. 😛

[evilqueen]

Haha, too right, Phee!
But he could be impaired in some way?

I guess this will be as close to the real fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin that we’re going to get. Too bad though, I would have loved to have seen Rumple dancing around a fire, singing out his little song. 😆

lol.

Hey perhabs Rumples castle in Fairytaleland was originally King Xaviers ? And he agreed to get that instead of Regina.

I had to go through a re-read this thread many time. So Henry Sr was a prince. Well, that makes Cora’s need to be powerful and have Regina rule even more clear. She’s a displaced Princess. *I still loathe her…*
I think the theory that Cora reneged on the deal to hand over Regina to Rumple thus ensuring Henry lost his kingdom is spot on. I LOVE the idea that it went to George. But, it does leave the question: why didn’t Henry try to take it back? Or why was Henry so scared of Cora, submissive to her? Did he fear Rumple that much? And how much was Rumple involved in their lives post losing the kingdom? He and Cora seem to have had a falling out (presumably over baby Regina) so did he just sit back and bide his time?
