No one, not even Cora, was able to leave until after Emma broke the curse. Even then, it took some doing for Cora & Hook to get to SB, which was now part of the real world. Even Emma & Snow had a hard time getting back in S2.
Right. We’d have to assume a few things
1) The flying monkey got out of FTL before the Curse took everything to our world
2) The flying monkey somehow managed to stay the same age for 30 years
It’s tricky, I admit. But with some magical hand waving…it’s not wholly improbable

Agreed 🙂 That’s why I said, in my original post, that anything is possible. 🙂

Agreed
That’s why I said, in my original post, that anything is possible. 🙂 However, let’s not forget, if it were that easy to send someone or a magical creature to our world, a world without magic, Rumple wouldn’t have needed to DC to begin with. I just don’t see anyone other than AWB & Emma having come through and I don’t even think the other realms knew what hit them until after Reggie cast the curse.Keeper of Pandora's Box & The Yellow Brick Road.
The more I think about this theory, the more I appreciate the possibility of Zelena having a slow-burning plan that somehow takes the original curse into account. A calculating, patient villain would contrast well with Regina’s rashness.
Plus, it gives a possibility of her manipulating a lot of things from behind the scenes like August.
Once you assume a magical flying monkey is running around N Y disguised as a man who wants to date Emma? Age is the least of the problems. The Darlings were supposedly running around the real world when Henry was a baby yet a decade and a bit later, don’t appear to have aged at all. Maybe they went back and forth to NL, but we really don’t know how they managed to stay so young so maybe its the same spell for Walsh (magical juice cleanse?).
As for a flying monkey escaping the curse, it could be like the shadow or mermaids that can hop across worlds seemingly at will. Perhaps the monkey was spying on the EF to verify certain things and narrowly escaped, or was caught up, but Walsh is a different one sent at a different time. I’m expecting there to be an army of them after all!
That brings me to something we’ve mentioned as a plot hole: If there’s other ways to travel to the World Without Magic: Why didn’t Rumple use those things? I think the answer is he didn’t know where or when to go, except it was a land without magic and there may be multiple ones of those. The curse had powerful magic that he altered to bring him as close as possible as part of its purpose. Yet even then, he had no idea how old or what Bae would even look like or be like.
So I wonder if Rumple did mentor Zelena, how much would she know about where/when things would go down for the curse? I’m not sure she sent Walsh 50 years ago but I think more likely she sees everyone on their return and that is when she sent Walsh. Perhaps Neal using the Crystal Ball to see Emma catches Zelena’s eyes too and it leads to trouble?
I do like the idea she’s more reserved and calculating and less impulsive. I hope that is true.
