    clearly A/E are not killing some popular character off in order to please fans.

    It’s a hard call for the producers (and the actors’ plans complicate things), but a show jumps the shark when the producers stop planning from their own vision and start writing for the fans.

    I’m confused…..again….as usual.

    Why do you suppose the story in one paragraph referred to the death as a major cast member. But in another paragraph referred to ” series regular”?
    Does the writer actually know who dies? Or are they just guessing?

    Is a “major cast member” a contractual title? Or is a “series regular” a contractual title, or, are they both?

    Oops! Never mind, my bad. Ugh! I hate that spoiler so much, I’m trying to find a loophole that doesn’t exist

    That wasn’t my point, though. RG said that Hook’s death would impact the fans (to me, that’s the only real impact he had). My point was that Adam and Eddy ARE going through with their vision and so Hook might very well die because they wouldn’t keep him on the show just to please fans. By no means do I think this is a guarantee. I  think they planned this,. that the actor is not unhappy (necessarily – I don’t think this is the death previously spoiled) and that it very likely is Belle or Bae because (a) the other options are not happening (sorry, no one in the Charming clan is dying) and because it would provide Gold with huge storyline.

    That said, they would lose two huge fanbases if Belle were to die……..and it WOULD seem weird that she would have experienced all this tragedy, personally  and through Gold’s “death” and then to actually die. That would be  cruel treatment of a very popular character (not to mention a hugely popular Disney character). Talk about the death of hope………and this is supposed to be a show about hope?

    Series regular means when a character is required for an extended arc beyond one season,  they are promoted to series regular.

    This is different from recurring status.

    A recurring character is a fictional character, usually in a prime time TV series, who often and frequently appears from time to time during the series’ run. Recurring characters often play major roles in more than one episode, sometimes being the main focus. The character’s return is often based on popularity and liking from fans. Recurring characters also appear in less or more than just half of the episodes per season or book.

    And all characters are major characters, even the secondary ones.

    Hope that helps!

     This is Henry                                   “Henry Death”

    WHY IT CAN’T POSSIBLY BE HIM |This isn’t some dreary indie film at Sundance. They’re not gonna kill off the rugrat. (Besides, didn’t he just “die” a few weeks ago?)

    WHY IT JUST MIGHT BE HIM | What if Henry’s death — tragic as it may be — serves as a catalyst of sorts for Emma, prompting her to embrace her magic… and perhaps in a dark manner? (Ooh, I like that one. Goosebumps.)

    Now if you go to this website that was posted 2 hrs ago
    http://tv.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-once-upon-time-bombshell-spoiler-coming-ready-203301087.html

    You see Henry’s photo on top says “Henry Death”

    I thought I posted the photo but I don’t see it again 🙁

    I think Henry has to be on the table but he’s…not very likely, right? 8pm Sunday show on ABC, run by Disney, isn;t going to legit kill a kid.

    I agree.

    Daytime programming? different story.  I’m looking at you The Young and the Restless.
