I think the spoilers concerning this arc are beginning to confuse the living daylights out of me. So here is what we know/have heard/what I remember. Correct me if I’m wrong!
–Regina will get a new love interest
–Most speculation is that it is RH who is going to be in SB with Belle in present day
–The new love interest will be introduced very quickly in the season, but they never said he would be introduced WITH Regina
–The love story between Regina and the mystery figure would be tragic
–RH has a multiple episode arc (at least 4 episodes, I believe)
–Regina will most likely be in NL until at least episode…6, though I predict 11 is the coming home episode.
–303 is a Regina episode, and based of D23, we think it’s about her reaction to Snow waking up.
–RH was on set, based on his tweets, for 302/303From this I conclude that I know absolutely nothing.
Seriously. I think they are giving RH something to *do* to reintroduce him to the audience by having him assist Belle but his real story will begin in the second half of the season when Regina is back home.
And there is this from Adam just now. They are talking about RH
@emilieisanangel first of all — none of those are spoilers since I or Eddy didn't say them. That's speculation. Big difference!

[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"August 12, 2013 at 10:46 pm #204611PheeParticipantAnother notion, what if Marian’s curse was Robin’s price for his magic bow–nothing to do with Regina, but she helped him to get a solution (though her aim was to annoy Rumpel).
Interesting idea. All magic does come with a price of some description.
Your post got me thinking about ways that Marian could have gotten sick though, and I ended up with a completely different theory. Maybe it was Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother who’d gone bad and cast a curse? That could explain why it had to be her wand to heal Marian, and they couldn’t just use any old magic to do the job.
No matter how tragic or short-lived any romance will be for Regina, at least she’ll get to have some time with Sean Maguire.
We should all be so lucky. 😉
On the “tragic” thing, just had a thought. If RegalHood were to happen (still not keen on it) and if Tamara were to be RH’s daughter, what if Regina killed Tamara in Neverland, not bothered by it, then hooks up with RH and is happy, then realises that Tamara was RH’s daughter.
Regina will then face the dilemma of does she tell RH the truth about his daughter and risk having him reject her or does she lie and continue with him knowing that she’s keeping this big secret from him.
Something like this could work really well, especially if, as you say in your next post, that it could inspire some some actual change in her if she loses him because of her actions. Actually seeing her take some responsibility would be pretty great.
So then they get to NL and he is working with Regina and that is where things happen?
I liked Prices suggestion that Regina will have a conflict between killing Tamaara and RH being her father. What if she grants mercy when the connection is revealed and does not kill Tamara. Then Robin does it. After all, we need to see a reason to think them soulmates. (as to why he does it, it’s a justice thing, she kidnapped a boy and activated the failsafe that almost killed the entire town. She may be his biological daughter, but he feels she is no true child of his).That would be intense! Even if it doesn’t play out exactly like that, and Regina does the killing, (I still reckon she’s more likely to kill Greg, and Rumple’s the one with the real personal vendetta against Tamara, but it could go either way), and the revelation that Tamara was Robin’s daughter creates tension for the relationship, I could still see that it might be resolved by him having that “no true child of mine” mentality. Especially if he’s never even met her as a baby. He’d still feel a sense of loss because he never knew her and now she’s gone, but she really did end up being a baddie, who almost killed him. Conflicting emotions for him much?
Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, for a different perspective on this…if he does have some sort of longing for his lost daughter, and does still wish he could have known her, could that potentially result in him being drawn more towards Regina? Just like Tamara, she started out innocent. Just like Tamara, she was manipulated and corrupted and did evil. You could even go all the way to how Tamara all but killed her father (with the failsafe) and Regina’s no stranger to patricide herself. Of course, Regina was painfully aware of what she was doing on that last point, and Tamara wasn’t, but I’m just saying, Tamara’s and Regina’s lives have actually had a similar trajectory, and if Robin would have been willing to forgive Tamara and love her despite her actions, then he may well feel similarly about Regina. But she’ll be full of self loathing over killing his daughter, and won’t be willing to accept his forgiveness and love.
August 12, 2013 at 10:52 pm #204612RumplesGirlKeymasterJust gonna put this here: went to Sean Maguire’s Twitter page to see if he’s in VC and this is his new “description” on Twitter
Currently running around a forest near you as Robin Hood ….And yes i am wearing sex panther.
A forest?
And he changed his entire description to that, meaning it’s a bigger role than we know?"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"August 12, 2013 at 11:05 pm #204613runaroundmacyParticipantI’m starting to get really suspicious. I mean, obviously they haven’t announced any new character that it could be, but they sure are talking up RH A LOT. I’m starting to suspect something, like they may be misleading us. I know, shocking (sarcasm). It just seems like a whole lot of press pointing us in one direction, when they’ve been so careful to keep so many other things quiet, all happening over the last few days. I guess all of this really reminds me of Neal = PP. So many clues and everyone talking about it, just to be hoodwinked.

August 12, 2013 at 11:06 pm #204614PheeParticipantFrom the last few spoilers (and because of our crazy obession) I’ve been under the impression that perhaps Regina and RH would meet in a flashback. Isn’t 3×03 supposed to be a Regina episode? It would make sense to me if this is how they’re introduced, and maybe we’re allowed to believe that there is a spark there, thus laying a foundation for a romance later. Then they wouldn’t be lying, we would be meeting RH early in the season and so would Regina.
Yes, I think something like this will probably happen. I’m really itching for some spoilery info about what type of scenes they’re shooting for 303, so I know whether or not I should drop my insistence that there may be flashbacks to Henry’s adoption in the ep. (It just seems like it’d be a good point in the story to show those flashbacks, because Regina’s now searching for Henry to get him back, so showing how she got him in the first place would make for good parallel scenes. Assuming they rescue him before mid-season, they probably won’t have time for a 2nd Regina centric in the first 11 eps, and showing her adopting him after he’s safe and they’re all back home may not have the same impact as showing her desperate to make sure he’s safe.) Because if there are SB flashbacks, that could be how we see Regina and Robin meet, instead of in a FTL flashback.
–The new love interest will be introduced very quickly in the season, but they never said he would be introduced WITH Regina
The article did say, “Regina/Evil Queen will find a surprising love connection in the third episode”, so I think they will share at least one scene somehow, but I don’t think it will be the major focus of the ep.
Seriously. I think they are giving RH something to *do* to reintroduce him to the audience by having him assist Belle but his real story will begin in the second half of the season when Regina is back home.
Agreed!

Crazy is in the eye of the beholder. But, around here, I’d say you’re pretty normal. 🙂
I’ll join in and say, yes, hoodwinked! Get it? Hoodwinked! And to make it even crazier, I speculated back when “Lacey” aired that Robin Hood is Peter Pan all grown up. Now, how’s that for crazy?

August 12, 2013 at 11:16 pm #204617kfchimeraParticipantHm, now I’m torn. RH is getting a lot of press, and maybe it is all to throw us off.
I wonder…would they do something supersneaky like, because they had to recast anyway, that RH is not really RH? Like he’s some other bad guy pretending to be RH and his “renewing” with Belle is actually him getting caught out by her?
Now that is crazy, but giants grow beans, dwarves mine and I generate crack theories. It’s what I do.
I do feel they’re overplaying the ReHo (I love that RG). When we all first threw it around, it felt like we were guessing at something that wouldn’t be obvious to casual fans because RH would be in one place, and Regina in another. Now it’s all over the media about the speculation because well, we all saw the pictures of the guy. It wouldn’t matter if they had said NOTHING people would be shipping him with everything (and probably still will).
And…what is a “sex panther?”. Where’s the old blushing emoticon when I need it.

Oh we’re all completely crazy, and I do love a good conspiracy theory. 😉
I’m wondering if maybe they’ve been paying attention to murmours in the fandom about Regina’s love interest, and that’s why there’s now new info popping up about Robin. This theory of him being paired with Regina has popped up on tumblr a little bit, and there was an article, on the TVGuide site I think, that actually linked to their story about him being cast, at the end of a blurb they’d written about Regina getting a new love interest. So the chatter about it had already begun. Also, there’s been an increasing number of people shipping Regina with Tink, many people out there still insisting that Regina has to end up with a woman. A previous blurb about her new love was cautious to remain very gender non-specific and all inclusive. But now we have this new blurb that includes, “Regina’s love has to be very manly, and Robin Hood is that,” Parrilla says. “I’m getting very excited.” That pretty blatantly shuts down the speculation that Regina will be a lesbian, (or even bi), which was still persisting after the SQ meltdown, and in fact it seemed that some fans were latching onto the idea more than ever. So releasing spoilery info about plans to put her with manly man RH…like I said, I love a conspiracy theory. 😉
August 12, 2013 at 11:21 pm #204620RumplesGirlKeymasterReHo’s (yeah, I’m sticking with it) interaction in the past is probably very brief but very memorable. Given how he was portrayed in “Lacey” I’m betting it’s full of snark and sarcasm and lots of flirting.
