TVLine Spoiler Jan 31: CaptainSwan/ Young Prince Leopold

[RumplesGirl]

They say they aren’t bringing back Rena Sofer, but Rena played Older Ava, not young Ava. So maybe they are bringing back the young girl who played Ava in the Miller’s Daughter.

I agree. This really risks alienating a lot of faithful viewers

Maybe this spoiler is trying to lead us in a direction the show isn’t actually going but…why do you need Young Leo in the same episode as Young Cora? Just…why.

OK, so it would be ridiculous if Leo actually knew Cora well in their younger days, because he appeared oblivious to who she was when she set him up with Regina.

I’ve been thinking for a while that if Cora is WW’s mother, she had the baby when she was still working the mill, and had to give the baby away, because she couldn’t afford to keep and feed her.

So, perhaps YoungMillworkerCora had a one night stand with YoungPrinceLeo. No names were exchanged, she obviuosly knew who he was because royalty are famous, but he had no idea of her name and it was just a one time thing on the down low. Cora wanted more, but knew that Leo would never have her as an actual partner, because of her lowly status. Then she found out she was pregnant, had the child, and had to give her away.

So over the years, Cora’s had this festering resentment towards Leo over their baby (which he never knew about), so she thought she’d get back at him by killing his wife Eva.

And she hated Eva for more than just having tripped and humiliated her, she hated her because she ended up with Leo, which gives her more motivation to kill her, (more believable motivation than just the tripping).

Cora’s line to get to the throne was arduous, as we know, there were many people ahead of her and Henry. Eva married Leo and got to be the freaking Queen. Had Cora been able to be with Leo like she wanted, SHE would have been the freaking Queen.

So part of Cora’s motivation with marrying Henry and getting herself into a royal family, was her trying to compensate for having missed out on being with the Prince she’d actually wanted. She’d missed out on that good life once before, and this time she was gonna play it better and not lose.

It’s still wacky because WW and Snow are half sisters WHAT LOL?! But that type of situation wouldn’t require any retconning of the Cora/Leo interactions we’ve already seen in S1, and could actually add some more depth to Cora’s character and motivations.

[RumplesGirl]

@Phee: your theory on the whole makes sense it’s just the serious ick factor that goes along with it. It means Leo slept (granted, unknowingly) with Cora and then her daughter, Regina, at least once on the wedding night to consummate it.

It gives Cora a lot of depth, I agree, but it just seems so….icky?

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

[Phee]

Well that brings us back to the question of if Leo and Regina’s marriage WAS ever actually consummated, which frankly, I’ve never been convinced of. He was still too hung up on Eva, so I can’t see him being remotely interested in sleeping with Regina, not even for that sake of having the marriage officially consummated.

This is my new crack theory:

Ava and the WWW were sisters, Ava being the eldest of the two. The WWW was sent to Oz at a young age because of her green skin. The WWW returned to the EF for the marriage of Ava and Leo (note: RENA isn’t retuning. Doesn’t mean YOUNG AVA isn’t coming back). After the wedding, WWW returns to Oz but later learns how Cora killed Ava and set out to “turn Snow White’s heart as black as coal.” She she began to hatch a plan to get back at Cora for killing Ava. But before she could, Regina pushed Cora through the mirror into WL. Thinking that the problem was over, the WWW stayed in Oz. But then she learned about how Regina wanted to make Snow’s life miserable and sought revenge on Regina instead. But then the Curse hit and WWW was stuck in Oz for 28 years. When Emma stayed in SB and time moved again, the WWW didn’t know where Regina had gone. So she has been looking for her this whole time. Now she has come to SB to get revenge on Regina for making Snow’s life miserable because Snow is her niece.

I’m telling you guys Adam & Eddy are resetting Once and what we are getting is Once Upon A Time 2.0

If that is the case they are risking alienating the Once Fans

I really like the idea that WWW is Eva’s sister! I’m just wondering why she is cursing Snow & her family too, though.

We don’t know yet what they are doing.   Young Eva may be in the mix, along with Rumple and perhaps its the story of how Henry Sr. lost his line to the throne when Xavier’s kingdom fell to Leo’s.    It could parallel how Regina ends up losing to Wicked.
