I’ve noticed on the show that they have never used the phrase “One true love,” in fact they seem to go out of their way to prove that their definition of love is just a pure and unselfish kind of love (like a mother’s love when Henry ate the apple).
Does this open the doors for characters who have lost their true loves (Regina, Hook, Red, ect) to find love again? I hope so. If everyone only has One true love, then i feel like the show is limiting itself in terms of possible relationships.
[adrotate group="5"]I think that the show has both. One True Love which is the strongest of all magic – and the byproduct of that is what is so powerful. This is why Emma has an inherent magic to her, she is the product of One True Love. However, characters of the show can have multiple true loves, they just aren’t as purely, strongly magical. Otherwise Rumpel could have gotten the ingredients for his true love potion almost anywhere.
They seem to play fast and loose with this. For example, it seems True Love’s Kiss only works the once, hence why Charming couldn’t just kiss Snow when she was cursed to be barren.
I’m kind of glad it only has a one-time-use limit. It was beginning to become too much of a cure all. But does that mean it can’t cure Rumple? It did START to work…
Unless there is a line between ‘curse’ and ‘poison’. I sort of thought the reason true love’s kiss wouldn’t work, is because she wasn’t afflicted by some magical anti-baby water. I thought it was because the water was poisoned to where it would affect the uterus/ovaries/etc. to a point where it would cause her to be unable to bear children. As we saw with Charming being stabbed, true love’s kiss may work on a magical problem, but a physical one? I think in the magical world they assume it’s all curses and the like, since when you have magic you have no need for science. So saying that “This is a curse”/”It’s magic!” About all that is good and bad would be a natural impulse.

Actually, that’s not true.
In the Heart of Darkness, when dark Snow kisses Charming, she remembered her love for him. And that was set before the pilot.
I wouldn’t necessarily say Charming’s kiss wouldn’t have worked when Snow was cursed to be barren. We don’t know that because she never mentioned it to him in the episode. Only Ruth, Lancelot and King George knew about her condition.
I really dont think the Milah was Hook’s TRUE love. He seemed pretty upset that she died but I just didnt get the feeling they loved eachother like Belle/Rumple, Snow/Charming even Reginia/Daniel. It could just be the acting but I think Hook has a more true love coming.
I also dont think Rumple LOVED, really loved her either. I want to see their backstory. Why DID they get married?

Yes, it does seem to limit them, but I guess since most of the characters so far come from Fairy Tales, that they can only have one true romantic love. (Technically not canon, but that’s how Lana Parrilla said she was able to focus on hating young Snow in “Stable Boy” because in Regina’s world, everyone only gets one true romantic love.) It doesn’t mean that they can’t romantically love other people again, but it just won’t be true love.
Now that they’re in our world though, it’s possible since magic works differently, that may not be the case here. So I guess the writers could go either way so as not to limit the shipping possibilities. Either they can have Regina, Hook, etc. be able to find love but a different kind of love again, or they can have the characters find love again but find out that they can have multiple true loves here.
I prefer if they kept it to the characters only having one true romantic love though because they’ve built it up to be so rare and powerful, and it fits the world in which most of the characters come from.

I think it was Colin’s acting. I do think Milha really loved him though.
