LOL I can’t wait to see the viewer decline if this happens. I predict it will be very bad and cause a lot of controversy. Nobody in the GA will like this I’m sure and Emma is easily one of the most popular characters in the show. This is not a Neal or Robin situation. This will probably destroy their s7 before it even takes off. Audiences won’t even give the reboot a chance if they kill off Emma, cause what was the point of the first 6 seasons? There was none clearly if this was all for nothing. They need to retain as much as their audience as possible, they cannot afford massive viewerdrops but doing something like this will do exactly that.
Idk. I agree the best way to down all this is to see it as a new show. I feel like the people who stuck around this far are probably in it for the long haul and just because Emma isn’t coming back I don’t think that means a massive legion of fans are suddenly going to boycott or something.
I means, it’s the next generation. A lot of fans joked about having a spinoff where Henry was the main character with all the other kids of the other fairytale people. Surely we wouldn’t have expected Emma to be the star of that.
Jmo served this show way more than they deserved and finally she is taking her bow and passing the torch. I think the GA is going to just accept it and the rabid fans will complain no matter what at this point because A&E have created such a divisive fandom with their bad writing skills. This is a great opportunity to reinvent the show and win new viewers and go in new directions. I’m here for it y’all.

It goes against everything. There’s plenty of ways for her to pass the torch without dying and risk infuriating your audience. The audience you desperately need and can’t afford to lose.
The audience is already skeptical of the reboot and yes that includes the GA, just take a look at FB. They will not take kindly to Emma Swan dying. They will lose a large amount of viewers if that happens, you can bank on that.
One thing people do not like is having their time wasted.
You’re kidding yourself if you think people will just take the series lead of the past 6 seasons dying and just roll along like it’s nothing. They will absolutely lose viewers should this happen.
It would literally be suicide to their S7. Complete and utter suicide.
The show will also not be gaining any new viewers, that is not how this business works. More likely then not if you stopped watching OUAT for the past couple years then you likely are not gonna come back especially when it aires on a Friday night at 8pm.
When did we say it's Emma's goodbye? #nospoilers

There's a lot of imagined quotes floating around. We did say curtain call which means… curtain call

i didn’t say dying. I’m saying following Henry from now on in a new direction isn’t the end of the world all because JMO wants to move on. If anything you should be blaming her for not wishing to return, not A&E.
Any of the fans are free to keep it trucking if they have such an issue instead of constantly repeating how much they don’t think the show will survive without Emma. Like… It’s happening…. At the end of the day those same fans are going to be tuning in Friday nights at 8.
But seriously what is Adam even saying. Curtain Call means
the appearance of the performers at the conclusion of a theatrical or other performance in response to the applause of the audience.
So Emma is taking her bow to this show or this show is at its end and everyone is or what? I think Adam needs to take a hint and buy a vowel:

Sure it’s happening but it’s gonna die this season. Reboot is gonna flop so badly, they’re so desperate for audiences they’re targeting minorities. It’s really sad and pathetic. It won’t work though. If people stopped watching OUAT they’re not gonna miraculously come back on s7. Especially in a Friday night at 8 pm
Maybe what Adam means is while it’s Emma’s curtain call it won’t be her goodbye. It’s the end of Emma’s storyline focus on OUAT but it may not be the last time we see her. So it’s not her goodbye. That would be my guess.
If Neal can die, if Emma can date Hook, then they can kill Emma. The actor wanted off the show. She has filmed her one episode. I think that it is possible. I still am not really sure if that is what they are going to do, but it is certainly possible. It seems like a bad writing choice, but these writers often do the thing that is the bad writing choice.
Neal is nothing compared to Emma, especially to the fans that invested 6 years in her story. Do not compare them, it does not at all mean the same thing. Neal also was not really that popular with the fanbase, evidenced in the fact that they barely lost ratings/viewers when they killed him off.
It would also not just be a bad writing choice, but deliver an early death blow to S7. If anybody thinks they will not lose a lot of viewers killing off Emma they have another thing coming. Emma was the lead heroine, the Meredith Gray of this show. Audiences will not like the main heroine dying, period. It would be suicide for S7. It will absolutely be a death blow to an already very questionable S7 that even media outlets still are not confident in.
Neither is Dungey since she basically made it clear she will cancel it should the new characters fail to connect with the audience.
Neal dying could never happen. His character was part of the foundation of the show. Emma dating Hook could never happen. The good guy protagonist dating a serial killer can’t happen. In any show with a normal writing process, those things would never have happened. They just do not make sense. There was nothing that happened in the first two seasons of the show that would make those things happening make even the tiniest bit of sense. Yet they did.
Now the writers have no choice, but to remove Emma from the story. The actor is off the show. She could change her mind, but i don’t know if there is enough time for her to be over it and want to come back and film next year. I just do not consider anything to be impossible on a show where completely inconsistent things have happened that have ruined the integrity of the story. In a show like that killing Emma is possible.
I don’t even know if i think that they will kill Emma. I think more likely then not, they won’t because it might just be too far, but to assume that these writers, these terrible writers, would understand that? I will not assume that. It is possible, even though i think it is more likely she will just be off somewhere doing something else. Emma is no longer the main character. The new characters have to connect or the show will get cancelled because the show is about the new characters. That is why i do not understand why they are wasting two of the first four episodes on characters that are gone because they are gone and they need to push the new characters hard.
We will see. I think they won’t kill her, but they might.
Neal dying could absolutely happen. The character was not clicking with the audience, the relationship with Emma started on controversial terms to many people, and when they brought in Hook majority of audiences found him a more appealing choice for Emma then Neal.
Plus it allowed them to do what they love doing with Rumple, which would never have happened had Neal never have been killed off.
It was a business choice in the end that ended up not affecting the show much as we all know the ratings/viewers didn’t suffer a lot for it.
Killing off Emma however is a death blow to S7, so I don’t expect it happening.
