I don’t see the problem in speculating about a couple. Besides, if you’ve been to the Neal thread in the “Tallahassee” forum, you’ll see that not everyone ships Emma with Hook.

Nope, but they’re not featured in any online polls either. Not all of the people who voted in that poll hang out here at Once Upon A Time Podcast.

WORD. Especially if you visit Fan Forum or the IMDb boards. Those forums are overrun with Emma/Neal shippers.

Belle wouldn’t betray anyone anyway, she’s too loyal. My money is on the Blue Fairy being the betrayer especially if she thought she was doing the right thing.

I agree. I can’t really see Belle betraying anyone.

Making guesses and speculating, is fine. What I’m talking about, is people making it sound like they have true, real, first hand knowledge.

I alsways go by the assumption that everything that hasn’t aired jet is speculation and guesses. No one in here have first hand knowledge on what is going to happen. Unless it is a spoiler intentionally put out there by OUaT.

Agreed. The only things that are really reliable about future episode are synopses, promos, sneak-peeks, casting-calls, official photos, and tweets/interviews from cast members, writers, and producers. Everything else, including fan spoiler pics, fan tweets, and fan speculation is all subject to error and/or wild theories. It’s all good.

Uh! I’m loving this.. Who can it be Archie, August, Granny..or perhabs going back to Graham….
I agree the real culprits are most likely Cora and Hook (If it’s not about Graham).

Since I don’t want Archie to die, I really like the idea that there’s suspicion over Graham’s death because he deserved justice. I also agree that the real culprit could be Cora, Hook, or even King George (if he’s not already behind bars for Gus’ murder).

Unless Maiqu20 has that, then M20 should have said that was only a guess. That post sounded like it was understood to be a fact. I’ll referece that poll on buzzsugar again. If OUAT’s people can’t get any clues from that, then they must be brain dead and ought to know that If the Emma/Hook thing doesn’t happen, a lot of people out there will be majorly p-&$%-ed off. Why stir the pot early, if there’s not any fact yet to get information from?

Umm hi did I ever say it was a fact?? No I’m speculating based on what i’ve seen and what I want to happen it’s a forum I’m free to speculate just like people are speculating about Neal being Bae or about Rumbelle that’s what forums are for..do I have to write down “this is a guess” every time I post? even though i’m a captain swan shipper I know it’s just a dumb poll you think that the writers will be influenced by it? This isn’t gossip girl
If Hook and Emma don’t happen I won’t care (well I will but it won’t change the way i feel about the show) I’ll still ship you know how many doomed ships i’ve sailed? TONS

Yes I want justice for my Huntsman and I want Emma to learn how he truly died!! It’s like they don’t even mention him anymore and he’s an important character in terms of Emma’s Story, he was the first person she was opening up to after Neal (from what we know) and he died in her arms

I don’t think they will kill Archie and Belle isn’t the type to betray anyone..my money is on BF being the betrayer

I have my doubts that this is going to be about Graham. The way the synopsis is written, it would seem that everyone believes Regina to be the culprit and Emma is defending her. Let’s not forget about Emma’s “power” and since Regina did kill Graham she would know right away she is lying.

in my opinion, the possible characters would be : Archie / Red / Blue / Leroy / Granny.

I really don’t wish death upon any of these characters but it would be gripping to see any of them die.

As much as I want to see them acknowledge Graham i think you might be right.. But I don’t think they’d kill any of those characters maybe another dwarf?

could be! 😀 just not the stoner dwarf, anyone but him, stoner bring such a joy to every episode he is in! (I call him stoner because he looks like one but I’m actually referring to purple tuque) 😎

Before I begin, please let me apologize for the length. I do think it’s worth reading, though.

Regarding the previous post:

In a perfect world, yes but….
When Neal shows up in Storybrooke, initially, he will not receive a good reception from Emma. She doesn’t know why he allowed her to end up in prison for something he did. She doesn’t know that the decision he made was sacrificial and unselfish.

When he shows up, from her point of view, this may be a situation where she feels like he’s showing up one day to say “honey, I’m home “. Neal will have to earn his way back into Emma’s life, and he will have to earn his way into Henry’s because Emma probably won’t be real keen on letting him get to know him. At least, not right away.

With the theory I have, I’m just taking emotion out of the equation. Regina, is still Regina. To her, whether justified or not, Henry is still her son. That’s why I think she’ll see this as an opportunity for her to swoop in and take advantage of the situation. I think she will, or at least will try to schmooze Neal in her direction. If she knows Emma has an emotional connection to Neal, there’s a lot she can use against to her advantage; having Henry’s father in her corner, and another way she can “stick it” to the Charmings.
For Neal, he will already be emotionally vulnerable before he even gets to Storybrooke. When his first encounter with Emma doesn’t go well (and, it won’t), he will be heart broken. Regina will know that when she finds out who he is. She’ll see an opportunity here for herself. In fact, my instincts have me thinking she will at least try to influence him romantically.

For Hook, in the same way as Regina, this will be a romantic opportunity for him to save the day for Emma; to be her knight in shining armor and be the man who will stand in battle for her; to fight the dragons in her life that caused so much. To help himself, he’ll put Neal’s name on every one of those. Initially, some of this may not be for the most honest of reasons. Some of it may to help him get closer to Gold, but I think he really does have a crush on Emma, but those feelings will begin to mature when he learns the whole story about what happened to her, which made her distrust so much, that she’d leave him on that bean stalk. She put Neal’s face on Hook when she did that. There’s also the aspect of what happened to Graham. He died in Emma’s arms. There’s an emotional tag attached to his event, and is certainly something Hook can identify with himself.

Psychologically, I think Hook is still trying to “save” Milah. Trying to “save” her, is what has damanged him emotionally, and the passion for this “mission” he has is what has led him to do so many evil things in his search for Gold. He knows Milah is gone, but he hasn’t let her go. When he truly understands how much he and Emma have in common, I think his priorities will be made very vulnerable to realignment. It’s funny how when you think you see things clearly in life, all of a sudden something happens and you look at things from a different perspective. I think that’s what will happen for Hook. Oh, he’ll still hate Gold and for now, regardless of of how he feels for Emma, revenge will be his #1 target. That said though, I see a huge weak spot in him, which is definitely subject to that “floor” of his purposes giving way under the weight of his heart with again, shows a lot of vulnerability. It would be interesting, is to see how all of this will calculate for everybody. It will certainly provide for some great story telling.

Great post! 😀

I do agree that Hook has some sort of connection with Emma. Whether or not that will develop into something meaningful is another story. But there’s definitely promise there. And I agree that Neal will have to earn his way back into Emma’s good graces. But due to the fact that he’s been aware of the curse and everything that’s happened in Storybrooke, that also means that he’s aware of Regina and her past as the Evil Queen. I highly doubt he’s going ally himself with a woman who he probably views as evil. And not only that, but raised his son as well. And if he is indeed Baelfire, then I’m almost positive he won’t ally himself with Regina. He’ll probably be very angry with Rumpel, so I don’t see him allying himself with someone who’s almost as bad as Rumpel.

Thanks!

I know Neal knew about the curse, but did he already know about Regina?

If they are going to go after Regina for murdering a character can we at least get a Graham mention? I feel like everyone has forgotten him and Emma doesn’t even know Regina killed him

I’m not really sure, but they certainly should. Or maybe at the very least, they should have Regina remember Graham and at least try to make amends for killing him if not also being the one who took away his agency when she took out his heart and raped him for 30 years or more. If she thought more of then just getting Henry back in her life, but felt actual remorse about the other people’s lives that she’s ruined, then I would be more apt to believe that she really wants to change and can change.

What if Regina is accused of murdering August…he is missing with no one knowing what happened to him. It would make sense that Emma believes Regina did not kill him because Emma knows what really happened.

I doubt it. August has never really been in Regina’s orbit. I think that whomever the character is that dies and assuming that Cora is really the one behind that character’s death or presumed death, then that character has to be connected to Regina to really impact Regina to get the results Cora wants. So I think that rules out August, Blue, Granny, or one of the Dwarves because she’s never really interacted with them at all if ever, so their deaths wouldn’t mean anything to her. That basically only leaves Archie because it’s too soon for Cora to go directly after Henry since that’s more of a season finale type of deal, and Regina doesn’t have anyone else that she can go to now aside from him.
