I replied to your last paragraph in the other thread, Mickstemp. If Eric does by chance end up being gay, I can definitely imagine them pairing him up with Archie.
I’ve also been suspicious about the short amount of time Gil was in Vancouver for Ariel’s big ep. If Ariel’s gonna be rescuing Eric, it will need to be in Ariel’s centric ep, I just don’t see how they could slip that into any other character’s centric, considering the scene would only involve the two of them. And instead we have pics of Snow soaking wet, on the shoreline, and we know JoAnna was on set that day. One of the crew tweeted a pic from what I assume was that day of shooting, it was another crew member standing on a big rock by a body of water. I think that was a few days before Gil got to town? You’d think if he was gonna be rescued in a similar way to Snow, they’d have shot his similar scene at the same time.
There wasn’t even a detailed casting call for Eric, was there? Didn’t they just leak the news that he was being cast for a recurring role, but not release an actual description of what he’d be like? You make some good points that he’d be sort of redundant if they don’t give him a twist. I’d like to think they’d make him more interesting than they did Prince Thomas, not just a generic, fairytale Prince. Making him gay would certainly give him a point of difference from the usual characterisation for princes.
Going along with your idea of him talking at the ball about how he wishes he didn’t have to live up to the world’s expectations of him, maybe they could have part of that being that everyone is expecting him to choose a princess to marry soon. Don’t recall off the top of my head if that’s a thing in Anderson’s, but it’s mentioned in Disney’s. Maybe this ball will be similar to the one that was held to find Prince Henry a wife. But he’s not interested in marrying a princess, and that could be how they bring his orientation into the story. If our Ariel has no voice, maybe she’s the only person he can talk to about it, because everyone else will cut him off if he tries to talk about how he doesn’t want to marry a princess, but Ariel just listens as he reveals his feelings and frustrations. And she totally understands everyone expecting you to be someone you’re not, because she’s the mermaid who doesn’t wanna kill people.
Like you say, Mickstemp, it’s crack theory, but I genuinely think it could be an interesting twist on the story and a great way for them to introduce an LGBT storyline, which we know is something they do intend to do at some point.
[adrotate group="5"]I’m getting addicted to this crack. They said in one of the new articles that Eric will have a spin to him on once…. I can believe it.
Imagine how that ball scene can go to introduce that Eric is gay:
eric: I like your dress
ariel: thanks u….
Eric: I have one just like it.
ariel: O.O
terrible joke lol >>

And that a certain mermaid must prove him wrong 😀

Seriously, the more lines they give him about hating mermaids, the more it makes me think that Hookriel has a chance, because they could get a great story out of him falling in love with a woman who used to be one of those beasts he hates so much.
I know!! Every time he says the word mermaid I’m like ITS GONNA HAPPEN

“You can’t trust her. Mermaids are liars.”
He’ll change his tune one fine day. 😉“Get that thing off my ship!!”

Totally 100% agree. It’s ON!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"On Ariel:
Let’s be honest: mermaids are kind of bitches. They almost sunk our heroes and were generally surly. So does that mean the beloved Ariel, who will appear in episode 6, is also a less-than-friendly entity? Nope, says the duo. In fact, “she’s going to be different than the mermaids you saw in the premiere,” says Horowitz. “I think the spirit of Ariel you’re going to see — which JoAnna Garcia [Swisher] plays very well — is the spirit of somebody who wants to see the world and experience things outside of what they know,” says Kitsis. “And so we have our own little take on it, but I think the thing that make Ariel such a great character is the spirit within her definitely is within our Ariel.”

It is interesting that he said they were liars. That implies previous conversation, though it could be stories he heard.

Yes, it does suggest previous interaction. Whether it be with Ariel specifically, or just mermaids in general, I’m interested to see what experience Hook has with mermaids. His “liars” comment could potentially just be that they lure sailors into the sea. The way she looked at Charming all pouty like, “Let me go,” almost seemed like she was about to attempt to work some seduction magic on him.
