So now that Regina is separated from the Evil Queen, how do you think her personality will be like? Will she be similar to Jakeyll (timid, weak, etc?) Or will she simply be the Regina before the EQ was born (like from the flashbacks with her meeting Snow.) Thoughts?

She’s still the monster-maker, the source material that the Evil Queen grew from. But now Regina has (or so she thinks) no reason to watch herself for danger signs. This will be bad.

I don’t think she’ll be weak or timid but if the EQ represents all her passion in extreme then the new Regina might be missing some of “muchness” to quote another fairy tale.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I see the essence of the Evil Queen as being Regina’s sense of self preservation. The persona arose as a protection mechanism in response to Regina being hurt too often. Regina feels deeply and went through much emotional pain, so the EQ has no empathy. Regina was frequently made to feel powerless, so the EQ is power hungry and will stop at nothing to get her own way (the lack of empathy helps with this). Regina was hurt repeatedly by her mother, so the EQ doesn’t forgive; if someone wrongs her she makes darn sure they don’t do it again.
So…I’d expect Regina minus her EQ to be emotionally vulnerable, self sacrificing and pretty ineffectual in terms of getting things done.
Mind you, I don’t think they will actually show Regina as being weak. That would be boring. Also, they’ll want to show good Regina as a complete and interesting person in her own right because many viewers will be rooting for her. So I don’t think what they’ll show will necessarily be what you’d expect or even what would make sense.
I hope we see a difference, to me if Regina is the same personality then I feel the split will be dulled.

The very little we did in the last few moments of the episode suggest there’s no change at all, really. She was still Regina in all the ways we recognize her. She stood up to Hyde; she was snarky; she was helpful in restoring magic to SB; she was with her son and her family and had no noticeable differences.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"IF it’s a duality, light and dark then Regina will be light whereas EQ is dark. I noticed she was hesitant to kill the EQ and even said “sorry.”
IDK…Maybe the writers haven’t thought that far ahead..

True. Pity. I always thought that her snarkiness and feistiness largely came from the EQ part of her.

My cynicism says that the fans will give this topic far more deep thought than the writers will. Like with all the complex and fascinating themes that they touch on, they will either treat it very simplistically or set it up nicely only to never deliver a pay off.
