But I find incredibly hard to believe that they trump the love and devotion he had to his wife/mother of his child, after only a week at most.
I don’t view Outlaw Queen as happening too fast, especially when you consider that they had a history before they even met. Regina knew about him LONG before she enacted the curse and there’s the bits we saw in the Enchanted Forest during the lost year (their snarky banter). Anyway, I think it’s too restricting to put a time limit of sorts and call a relationship happening too fast.
Honestly I’ve seen faster hook-ups happen on my soaps, which tend to jump from one storyline to another within the span of a few episodes.

I fully agree with this!
Like Emma and Neal, first day when they met, and he later took her out for coffee in the park. Was that not fast? Or Snowing…first day adventure together, and although it was months later, they were in love the first day they met, and it was proven when Charming was ready to bail out on Abigail for Snow White, after knowing the girl for one day. Sometimes love is just love at first sight…especially since Robin and Regina are soul mates, that probably added extra chemistry. It’s no wonder they fell in love so hard.
Plan A)
Preferably, the best route for this to go is to balance things out. Marian’s death was supposed to happen, and based on the many encounters with death Marian has faced, I think the only way to balance things is if Marian died. But again…I don’t want Regina to be Robin’s second choice…it could be like Robin chooses Regina, and then Marian dies.
Plan B)
Either way this story goes…we’re going to wound up with Outlaw Queen in the end. Soul Mates always win.

Soul Mates always win.
DarkHeart disagrees with you.
Okay, I agree that OQ will end up together but again if it happens because “Marian died…” well that’s a can of worms.
But since this isn’t a defense of OQ thread, let’s tackle another Regina question.
Regina’s primary story, I would say, has always been Snow White. They’ve come a good way since S1 and our introduction to them but there is still a lot of water under the bridge. If they ever go back to the EF, who gets to rule, for example. What is the future of Snow and Regina?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"1. DarkHeart disagrees with you.
2. If they ever go back to the EF, who gets to rule, for example. What is the future of Snow and Regina?
1.)
Not necessary…Adam and Eddy said that Cora was in a “Lot of ways” Rumple’s soulmate, not that she was his soulmate. But even Rumple said that Cora would always hold a very special place in his heart.
Adam and Eddy retracted their statement of using the word Soul Mates for DarkHeart after the Rumbelles nearly had a nervous breakdown, and in it’s place used “Kindred Spirits”. But then again, as I said in the other thread….it was something about DarkHeart that was very spicy and a tad more heated, but Belle is the one who got the ring on her finger. Hoping Belle will tap into that inner Lacey soon.

Ummm….oh boy I’m going to get a lot of heat for saying this. But Regina is the Queen! Snow White’s kingdom was unfortunately destroyed, and as many Oncers pointed out, Regina was a wonderful queen until you either cross her or help Snow White.
Regina never raised taxes, her kingdom was well fed, and her people(those who didn’t help Snow) were happy. She ran the Enchanted Forest as a brilliant Queen should, but the moment she catches word that you’ve been helping Snow White, well then it’s just of with your head.Besides, Snow White was Queen what for one year in the EF? And David wasn’t even a real prince, he was a shepherd posing as a prince? The only reason he became King was because of his love/marriage to Snow White…Regina however, not only took care of the EF, but she ran the heck out of Storybrooke for 28 years, and still going strong as Mayor. Between the two of them, I’d rather have someone with experience running the kingdom/town."If you go as far as you can see...you will then see enough to go even further." - Finn Balor
What is the future of Snow and Regina?
I hope they continue to be friends. They’re still family of course but I think their story going forward will be that of friendship. It was huge how Regina protected Snow after her ghost mom. And the conversations they had in the same episode were so lovely.
There’s too much pain between both of them where the issue of family is concerned to go back to being their respective roles as step mom and step daughter but being friends I think is easier. It’s a fresh start. And they need that.
Regina was given the nickname “Evil Queen” by her own subjects. She wasn’t loved by her people, she was feared by them. Snow is the rightful heir to the kingdom plus Regina was kicked off her throne so now Snow and Charming are the rightful rulers of the kingdom.
Regina only remains mayor because she is unopposed.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI agree with @Price 🙂
Regina definitely was not a good queen. She abused her power in her quest to kill Snow White, ordering the slaughter of innocents in the name of vengeance. That is not a good queen at all.
As far as regular duties like taxes and what not, we have no idea either how she handled these things because we never got a scene of her dealing with these issues. A majority of her reign was focused on killing Snow White as soon as Leopold died.
Snow, being Snow, will likely figure out a way for both Snowing and Regina to rule. After being in SB; and having some idea of how this realm and the various kinds of leaders there are here, maybe they’ll adopt a democracy/monarchy-type thing (I can’t imagine any of them agreeing to give up their positions as king/queen and go full on American democracy kind of thing – I mean, who doesn’t want to be a QUEEN?!) But I can see Snow at least recognizing that she, Regina and Charming all have good qualities to lead, and together would make a very good leading team. Technically, though, I guess who is actually the ruler would depend on how their Kingdom determines who inherits the throne – does it go to the spouse, or the child?
In regard to Regina’s former rule, yeah, I have to agree with POM & Obisgirl. Regina’s main goal as Queen was to kill Snow. Then kill anyone who protected Snow/crossed Regina. Her subjects feared her. I don’t care if she let people live comfortably, people are not going to respect someone they’re terrified of. Regina had the ability to be a good leader, but her choices detracted her from fulfilling her potential, in my opinion.

Even though she was feared without a doubt, the people who weren’t helping Snow White, believe me, they were happy and respected Regina.

As far as regular duties like taxes and what not, we have no idea either how she handled these things because we never got a scene of her dealing with these issues. A majority of her reign was focused on killing Snow White as soon as Leopold died. In Regina’s defense…until shown otherwise, that village massacre was the only massacre Regina did on her village aside from the private executions. And the fact that Regina’s kingdom was wealthy, and wasn’t filled with poverty showed that Regina did in fact run it the way it should be run.
However, the moment you help Snow White, or personally cross the Queen…that’s when your life is more than likely in danger. Regina didn’t just sit on her throne saying, go kill this village then go kill that one. Set fire to the woods, behead everyone, Regina wasn’t that type of Queen. It took you either personally offending her, which means stepping out of line or treason for helping Snow White….that’s where the price is paid. The people in Regina’s dungeons, as far as we saw, only went there for either reason. And once again, Regina was named the Evil Queen by her own subjects out of fear, but the way she successfully/business wise ran her kingdom was something respected.
Even Lana herself, I believe stated, that the only real way to piss off the Evil Queen that would get you killed, is by helping Snow White. Those who saw Snow White, and helped her was punished on grounds of treason to the throne. However those who saw Snow White, and alerted the Queen’s Guards, I’m quite sure they received a small reward from the throne.
It all boiled down to who they helped…the Queen or the Bandit. Those who chose Regina lived, those who chose Snow died. But Regina was a successful Queen from what I gather, just don’t help Snow White, or it maybe off with your head.
And besides…who would want to go back to that lifestyle???? Like Henry would be miserable in the EF without any electricity, indoor plumbing, tv, and his Nintendo DS….like just no. And too many bad memories and times are in the EF, the peasants have a fairer life in SB. Let’s just stay in SB.

I feel like this can probably escalate into some VERY nasty territory and it’s totally veering away from RG original question.
So, I’m going to say this only once and one time only:
No character on his show — good or bad is perfect. Even the good characters sometimes make or have made bad decisions, (I’m not naming names because that’s a whole other discussion). And there are characters, bad characters who felt like they were justified in making decisions that they viewed as good but were actually bad.
Can we move onto a different topic please?
