I have a feeling this will be taking place during the present. His hair is the same as it was in the season premiere instead of Tallahassee. They both don't have their “young” look so…
[adrotate group="5"]I aree, it looks like present day.
And the married man Emma was referring to could have been Ryan.
She mentions his wife to him on their ‘date’.I hope she was referring to Ryan. Tallahassee did a good job of making us understand why Emma thought of Neal as a jerk without actually making him a jerk. If they made him married or pretend to be, that might mess with that balance a bit more then i would like. Besides, didn’t Emma mention a string of bad relationships? Maybe she was talking about one of them?
Emma’s dated a few “ogres” remember? So I’m sure since Neal she’s dated some sketchy guys in one way or another. I don’t think the married man she mentioned is Ryan. That was a fake date. She was on the job. She had no emotional investment with that guy. And the way she mentioned it to Mary Margaret, it seems like there was some hurt involved with the married man.
Emma also mentioned she doesn’t go pass a one night stand. But, that’s 28 year old Emma. I don’t think Neal was the last actual relationship Emma had. Probably the last guy she ever loved. But, I’m sure she dated guys, had boyfriends, and they all went to crap for one reason or another. And so within the course of 10 years she ends up being the type of girl to just… be the one night stand type. So I’m sure somewhere along the way, she got involved with a married man. Maybe more than one (at different times). No reason to assume it was Neal.
That’s true.
‘Married Guy’ could be anyone…I’m sure she had relationships after Neal.
I do agree, Neal is not the married guy she was talking about.@Faux Pax wrote:

She could have been talking about another guy and I totally agree about the Tallahasse episode…they did a great job with his character.
One thing that I find interesting is something I heard one of the writers mention. They wanted the sheriff’s character to be Sherlock Holmes…but in the end they couldn’t get the rights to the character so they made him the huntsman. In Tallahassee, Neal mentions the phrase, “on the road” twice, once in the bug, and once in the hotel room. Since that is a nod to the book, On the Road, where the main character, Dean Moriarty, is Neal Cassady lightly fictionalized, and Kerouac has indicated that the Moriarty name is a reference to Sherlock Holmes’ nemisis…that seems too coincidental to be just a random thing. Emma is the new sheriff…the Huntsman who they wanted to be “Sherlock Holmes” character type…and Neal’s name conjures up Moriarty. I didn’t really think about it until today but Emma’s profession is very much like that of the Huntsman…as she was a Bounty Hunter. This is one of the reasons that I think they will find a way to put conflict in the relationship before things get worked out. I’m not sure how they will do that but I think it is a real possibility.
I think the conflict will come, not only because of what Neal did in the past, but from the idea Emma has that Rumple has manipulated her enter life. When she realizes that Neal is his son…I don’t think there’s any way she could see that as a coincidence and that will defiantly give her doubts (heck, Neal too) that their love was genuine rather then something Rumple somehow manufactured.

That’s a good point. I’m really looking forward to their story. I think the writers have done such a great job with his character….writing in a way that we love the character even though he has been in just a few episodes.
Oh yeah, I can imagine Emma just being so pissed that what she had with Neal may have not been real but also pissed off that she’s pissed off. In her mind, he may have betrayed her and screwed her over and hurt her more than any other person has… but what she felt for him was real and what they had she thought was real and even though she might hate his guts now she still knows that was the one time in her life she was truly happy.
And then to find out that it could have all been yet another manipulation due to her damn destiny? She’ll be pissed. But, she’ll be pissed that she’s pissed because she knows she shouldn’t still care about that old dead relationship. But she does. Because it has a special place in her heart. And it’s being threatened. The one time she ever felt love like that… and it might not even be real? How sad.
Well, I think the stuff being filmed (as seen at Vancityfilming.com) is a flash back. I haven’t read every post so don’t know if anybody else has mentioned this, but the scenes are taking place in New York (as per Vancity’s article). That being the case, how would she be able to leave Storybrooke? I thought anybody who leaves Storybrooke looses their memory. How would she be excluded from that?
