theory of the STABLE BOY

[nonnie]

I am going to be so disappointed if this all boils down to MM and Regina having feelings for the same boy. If all of this is because REGINA wanted some boy that only had eyes for SNOW.

Theory:
I think the reason REGINA ends up married to King Leopold is it was an arrange marriage. After Snow’s mother dies the match is arranged to cement relationships between the kingdoms OR to get $$$$$ for the realms coffers.

REGINA has feeling for some commoner / the stable boy, but he only has eyes for SNOW. Maybe the boy gets banished / killed and that is why REGINA HATES SNOW…

1/ Snow stole the boys affection
2/ Snow some how reveals the relationship between Regina and the boy to Regina’s mother. … thus getting him killed or banished.

3/ Push it further and AUGUST / STRANGER is the boy they both had the hots for.

SO HIGH SCHOOL…..but I do not think the writers would disappoint us in that way.

Nonnie,

I posted this in another thread but could not figure how to erase it and decided it should have its own stand alone thread. Sorry

Actually, I don't think that will be the case since we're going to see a mini-Snow White in this episode. Bailee Madison was cast as a young Snow White, the Stable Boy — well, he's like in his twenties or something. So, I don't think the writers are going that route.

I agree that Snow is not a rival for “the Stable Boy’s” affections. I also do agree that Regina was forced into an arranged marriage to King Leopold (ala King George).

My theory is that Regina shares with Snow the secret that she is in love with a commoner, which as young children are prone to do, Snow (probably inadvertently) reveals the secret. I have a hunch that the commoner is killed by Regina’s mother because of this. Interestingly, this results in Regina only loving him more and spending the rest of her life trying to vindicate her loss somehow.

Ironically, this is the opposite of how King George tries to prevent James from running off with Snow (in episode 7:15) he threatens to kill James and NOT Snow because he says killing her would just make him love her more.

😮 I was actually thinking the same thing. If Regina’s mother is the one who kills her love, she could have lied to Regina and say that Snow outed the identity of her true love and that possible lead to his murder and the origin of her hatred for Snow, which would be entirely misplaced because it was actually her dear mother who killed him because she wanted Regina to marry the King.

I guess we will find out here in a little while but since the episode has a little girl playing the part of Snow in it, I wonder if perhaps Snow as a little girl unintentially revealed that the EQ had a relationship with the Stable Boy. Like maybe she didn’t even understand what was going on but maybe said something about seeing her with the Stable Boy or mentioned that she spends a lot of time in the stables or something. Something that an innocent child wouldn’t even recognize as revealing a secret because she would be too young to recognize that it was a secret, or didn’t understand that she said something that revealed the secret because she was too young to understand something. That would explain why Snow kind of matter-of-factly answered “yes” when James (or was it the Huntsman??) asked her if she really did ruin the queen’s life. So technically she DID ruin the queen’s life if she was the one who brought attention to the fact that EQ was in love with the Stable Boy if that led to his death. But if she was only a child and didn’t do it intentionally, that makes for an interesting twist. If it happened when she was a child she must not have known about it until later because after EQ killed Snow’s father Snow seemed to trust the EQ and the EQ was pretending to love Snow.

We all know the Evil Queen is all bravado. I suspect that’s probably the case.

I think that Snow has to have actually did something even if it is just telling Regina’s mother about the stable boy. I actually would rather that Snow did it even after Regina asked her not to so that it was something wrong. And it does seem that in the episodes where Regina kills Snow’s father and when Snow is hugging the queen at Snow’s father’s grave that Snow doesn’t realize at that point that Regina is going after her, but then when the huntsman first tries to kill her Snow is very aware that the Queen is trying to kill her. I feel like there is more to that story because at some point Snow seems so unaware of the Queen’s anger at her and then later she is very aware of it.

I think you’re right hjbau. Whatever Snow did as a child, she either forgot or at least didn’t exactly know what it meant, thus being ignorant to Regina’s pain.

Im calling it now:

Young Snow accidentally set something in place or was at the wrong place at the wrong time that caused Regina to think that Snow caused the death of her true love,the Stable Boy. Grandpa Henry (refuse to call him Henry, Sr. …LOL) wanted her to go after true love but Regina's mother wasn't a fan of that so she shrunk her husband to keep him quiet. I feel this could be before of after the marriage to the King. Money and Power are more important than love in her eyes. I believe she is theQueen of Hearts and Regina is the reason she is in Wonderland. Not really sure how but im sure, if I'm correct, that will flesh itself out.

Now to the Mary Margaret case. I only have one thing and it’s connected to the Hat Trick episode:

In the end exchange between Gold and Regina, Gold said, “Fear not, your majesty. Miss Blanchard's still guilty of murder.” NEITHER IS REFERRING TO KATHERINE'S MURDER!!! I think they are referring to the Stable Boy we will see die in this coming episode.Just a thought. Just a theory.

I have some extended comments on other things related to OUaT that I posted under the timeline. Give it a sneaky peak and let me know what you think.

[hjbau]

I don’t know. I think that they were referring to Kathryn’s murder. Maybe they worked on that together and Regina thinks Kathryn is dead, but Gold has her stashed somewhere or the other way around where Regina knows where Kathryn is, but Gold is pretending he doesn’t know.
