Maybe Zelena didn’t have anyone she loved, (or wouldn’t have been willing to kill someone she loved), which was necessary to be able to make the sacrifice for the Curse, and as such, she was useless to Rumple.

True.
Zelena was an orphan and Zelena makes it sound like that wasn’t a happy life. Rumple needed Regina corrupt but to still have love in her heart for her Father.

Zeleena seems much stronger willed more fierce in that way because she grew up alone. I wonder, since zeleena grew up alone as Emma did will they play that sympathy card eventually be it true or a ploy by the wicked witch?

March 17, 2014 at 9:24 am #253531TheGoldenKeyParticipantThe story keeps getting more and more interesting, doesn’t it?
I mean, we show Z breaking ‘blood locks’ twice yet we know she needed Reggie’s blood for a potion of something. So why her blood if not to break the ‘blood locks’?
Why Reggie and not Z to cast the first curse?
Funny how BOTH Z & Rumple seem to have their memories. Really begs to ask who actually cast the curse?

Plus, we saw the same situation play out in SB when Regina had sealed her office with blood magic and yet, Zelena still got past the barrier.

Rumple kind of had his memories at the end of the last curse. I wonder if since he created the curse, if he is less immune to it. Also, maybe she incorporated some sort of “shield” that allowed her to keep her memories as well as those who she chooses.. My other thought is that she didn’t even summon him until after SB was re-created. Maybe like a genie, she could carry the knife along with her, but not rub it, and therefore keep him trapped inside?
March 17, 2014 at 11:07 am #253558SlurpeezParticipantThey did make a point of having Reggie say that Z was jealous that Rumple used her to cast the curse instead of Z. Why bring that up unless of course we are being asked to question “Why didn’t Rumple use Z to cast the curse?”. The most obvious reason would be because she is his and if she is his, does she even know this?
While I think Leo is the father of Zelena, that is an interesting and valid point. Rumple would never use any child of his, no matter who the mother is, for anything as terrible as casting a curse. That is the primary reason why I never thought Rumple could be Regina’s father. When it comes to Zelena’s parentage, however, I think Cora had Zelena before the events of “The Miller’s Daughter” ever occurred, and before Cora had ever even met Rumplestiltksin (in which case, he couldn’t have fathered a child with Cora unless he disguised himself).
Rose McGowen (who plays young Cora) posted a picture of herself dressed as peasant Cora would have been dressed, holding a baby and saying she’d just ‘given birth’ right when 3×18 was being filmed. That is the same episode that young Leopold and young Eva are in, and that can’t be a coincidence. That is one of the biggest reasons why I think Leo may have fathered a child with Cora out of wedlock, and that child is Zelena. Then Zelena was put up for adoption or even smuggled to Oz to cover up the king’s infidelity. Years later, Leo may forgotten about his philandering ways or Cora may have even tampered with his memories once she learned dark magic. That would explain how Leo didn’t seem to recognize Cora in “The Stable Boy” when he came to propose to Regina.

March 17, 2014 at 11:54 am #253577PanTheManParticipantIt can’t be Rumple.
Wicked Witch said she was born before Cora married into royalty, so Cora wouldn’t have known Rumple then. She only met him when he helped her spin straw into gold.
I think it’s safe to rule out Rumple.
It would have to be someone in the Enchanted Forest. Maybe this man goes on to become the Wizard of Oz.
Also, Maybe there was a reason Eva tripped Cora in “The Miller’s Daughter.” This episode might explain the animosity that lead Eva to do that. And just maybe we will see Eva’s slippers again (the camera shot of her shoes when she tripped Cora). The slippers could be the reason she’s relevant.

Same.
The night after she spun straw into gold, she was elevated to Royal Consort, ready to marry Prince Henry Sr. All of this happened *before* she met Rumple. Rumple is out.
