Amazing news! Revolution has had this talented man for too long. Honestly, I think this may even just be for a EF appearance. I see no reason to bring him back to Storybrooke. In my head, its a Belle vs Blue war, and I don’t think he’d be involved in that.
[adrotate group="5"]Amazing news! Revolution has had this talented man for too long. Honestly, I think this may even just be for a EF appearance. I see no reason to bring him back to Storybrooke. In my head, its a Belle vs Blue war, and I don’t think he’d be involved in that.
I never thought of that! Hmmm. Which storyline would he be involved with in FTL of the past? I suppose it would have to be a Regina episode. Unless he is somehow connected to PP?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Was so excited when I saw the tweet about this just before! Honestly never really expected them to get him back for another appearance!
I briefly considered that he may just be in flashback, but I think with a return this major, it would be sort of a let down to only see him in flashback. Also, the scheduling probably took some doing to work it out if he’s also still shooting Revolution, and I can’t necessarily see them going to such effort for just a few flashback scenes.
Does this mean Belle is breaking Sydney out of the basement!? Also, think about this: he is a genie in a land with magic. He can do lots of things to protect the town and he knows all of Regina’s secrets!
With Regina suddenly out of town, I can totally see them wanting to pick Sidney’s brain. Question is, would he be willing to cooperate? If he’s still been locked up in the basement, no clue what’s been going on in town, and then they go to get him and tell him that his beloved Regina is gone, would he even be in the mood to help?
How many people even know he’s down there, apart from the Nurse? The only way Belle would really know is if she saw his name on the door on her way out, and maybe someone mentions him in present day and she’s like, “Wait, what did you say his name was?” Then they can go looking for him. Perhaps?
Also, just throwing it out there…OUATinWL has a genie as a main character, and there’s meant to be crossover with SB of some kind.
Yes, in FL if he had the power then why would he need the last wish? He is a Genie and a Genie wouldn’t need wishes to give him power he could just do anything especially since he was free.
The purpose of a genie’s magic is to use it to fulfill the wishes of others, they can’t just go around doing any type of magic any time for any reason. He was only able to use a wish himself, to be with Regina forever, because Leopold used his 2nd wish to give his 3rd wish to the Genie to use. I would imagine that in SB, he’d have his magic back and would be able to use it to help, as long as someone wished him to do so. That could actually play into what I said before, if he’s acting like he doesn’t want to cooperate with people who he knows as being against Regina. Maybe they’ll just be able to wish for him to do stuff, and he’ll be bound to comply.

Interesting. Would they need his lamp, do you think? Pretty sure it’s in Gold’s shop…
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well here’s a thought–traditionally genies are trapped and it is whoever holds their container and frees them that gets to control the wishes. I agree with Phee–they can’t use their powers freely of their own free will.
So would it count if Belle busts him out of the basement? Would it count as him now giving her 3 wishes?
They could use a good villain though, so I think Genie/Mirror would HAVE to come out with bad intentions and a desire for revenge. Then our SB heroes could unite against him, and maybe his defeat might open a way for them to help the NL crew get back.

I like this!
Am guessing they won’t be able to have him around indefinitely, so his part will probably only be in one or two eps, which should be just long enough for him to grant a few wishes.
I could see him maybe not wanting to help unless it’s to get Regina back. But I could see SBers wanting to use his magic to protect the town from THO.
True, KFC, but Leopold freed the Genie in Fruit of the Poisonous Tree.
Genie: I have served as Genie of the lamp for longer than you’ve been alive. Life as a Genie is not…as magical as it may appear.
King Leopold: So, you wish to be free?
Genie: More than anything.
King Leopold: Then, I know my first wish. I wish you to be free.
(The two armbands around the Genie’s wrists release themselves.)
Genie: Can it be? Am I truly free?
So isn’t he still free now in SB? The Genie only stayed with the King because he thought he might find true love at the King’s palace.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This is fantastic. I’m not ashamed to admit that when I saw this I screamed a little bit. OK, I screamed a lot. LOL. After Regina and Maleficent, Sidney Glass is my fav character on the show, and Giancarlo is a awesome actor. WooHoo!
I ship Regina Mills with Happiness!

Hmmm, fair point. Though after that, he was trapped again, only this time it was in a mirror, and not in the same way that he was trapped in the lamp. Still, I could buy it if they wanna say that someone opening his cell door is akin to someone having “set him free” in the “now you get wishes” sense. Just imagine his entrapment by Regina is like take 2 of his entrapment in the lamp, so similar rules could apply to him being released.
That’s a good argument, Phee, and I would buy it if they set it up like that. So, the Genie owing three wishes to Belle, for freeing him from his new “lamp, what would those wishes be?
Belle knows he can’t bring Rumple and the crew home because she has no way of knowing if they have completed their task. Adam also said at ATX that there are no more magic beans. So what if the Genie gives her a magic spell or potion that will allow her and Bae to travel to NL and find the JR6. That’s one wish. Maybe she also wishes for a weapon, an enchanted sword or something.
