For what it’s worth, Colin is most likely on his way to LA with Lana, Jmo and Josh to film GMA and the View, airing tomorrow.

I’ll be glad if youre right, but when he said “Basically all the main cast except Colin”, I took that as a blanketed statement to by default, refernce everyone else.

I don’t know how to embed twitter links from twitter mobile, so I did the best I could. I’m not going to say what conclusions I’m drawing, but will let readers see for themselves. I will put it this way. I’ll be really surprised if the death is Neal. That said, I believe we can safely conclude the death is either Neal, or Hook. Since he said basically the “meain cast, except for …..”, and only one main cast member was mentioned in the list, I think I know who the death will be. I. AM. NOT. HAPPY!!!!

UGHHHHH!!!! 🙁

Going to be honestly blunt here. I am leaning towards the death being sooner, not later. If the death wasn’t planned till the Season finale, then why would Rose have read a script knowing who it is? As of late she has only filmed for 316, which happens to be the speculated episode for the death. Somebody also mentioned that one reason it would make sense for it to be earlier was so the actor would be able to go out and film for pilot season. While Ruby wasn’t killed off, Meghan did however went and filmed for the Intelligence pilot before Season 2 of Once finished filming, and that was also around the time that she just disappeared for the remainder of the Season. To make things more complicated, actors can always return to set to film pickup shots for previously filmed episodes, record ADR, or even film a flashback since they would still be contracted as a regular for the Season. Hypothetically if it is Neal that’s toast as early as 316, MRJ could have been on set last week for any of those reasons rather than necessarily filming present day scenes. It is a good way to throw people off, because of course some of us view his citing as “He can’t die in this episode, because we know he filmed for 319″, when we honestly don’t even know what his purpose was last week. I think we also have to ask why the death spoiler was given at precisely that point back in January? I still think it had to do with those PA’s tweets from BEFORE TVLine posted their article. If the PA was telling the truth, and she didn’t sound like she was randomly lying either, than that very well could have been what led to TVLine’s article. Maybe they did want to keep it a complete surprise, which honestly would have been the best move since then nobody would be even speculating about it based on who’s filming and who’s not, but the cat was out of the bag and they had no choice but to make an official statement. We know 316 will be a big episode, as it gives us a chunk of Zelena’s backstory and we know there’s a big showdown. It’s a mid-conflict in similar vein to “The Miller’s Daughter” episode from Season 2. Andrew Chambliss has also written for big episodes such as “Second Star to the Right”, and I’d argue he’s up there with Jane in terms of non Adam and Eddy writers. You can argue what you think in terms of what makes sense for the story and character development all you want, but this is just my personal take based on what we’ve witnessed. It’s true we haven’t always gotten the full picture from spoilers, but honestly they’ve been careless plenty of times where we did get spoiled from on set witnesses. The curse breaking in Season 1, Emma and Snow returning from FTL in “Queen of Hearts”, August turning back into a kid, Greg and Tamara kidnapping Henry, and Rumple killing Pan as he reverts back into Malcolm (it spoiled both Pan’s death and his true identity all in one go). Who’s to say this death won’t be spoiled too thanks to people paying too close attention to what’s being filmed? Anyway, point is this is all my interpretation and I’ll admit if I happen to be completely wrong. However, don’t say I didn’t warn you if things do go in the direction I implied. All I can suggest is that everyone should prepare for any outcome, no matter how hard it might be to grasp that we could be losing our personal favorite characters. We all have our own views for how we see the series continuing, and it is virtually impossible for all of those views to line up with what Adam and Eddy have in mind.

This is a great post, and you make a lot of good points! To support what you said about back-filming, it’s interesting you mention that. On 2/27, @OUATFRSource tweeted (and I think @Katmtan did, too) that Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison were shooting a scene for 3×16. Could MRJ have been back-filming, as well? It’s quite possible!

@Sarah_TN the only thing I am going to say about your post is that I don’t think it could be Charming because they’ve said a few times that the end of Snowing would be the end of hope. And that’s what the show has always been about, I think, at the end of it all.

 

However, I do agree that they *really* need to work on developing Charming outside of just being one half of the show’s original power couple.

Agreed. And I hope that my post doesn’t offend anyone, but honestly, I just don’t think Charming and Belle are very strong characters, at all. Just like with Hook, I think there’d need to be more backstory to give them the storyline they’d need to bolster their potental. Otherwise, I believe they have strong backstories, but are “reporting in as present” at this point.

Ex

….

I really think it’s gonna be a finale death. They wouldn’t have to risk getting a chunk of their fanbase off side mid-season, and would also be able to keep the dead character’s ID under wraps, because once the finale is shot, everyone leaves Vancouver, so tracking who was where and when couldn’t possibly give it away.

Exactly. I believe this death will be very hard-hitting among the fandom, and the way A&E are handling that is what tells me it’s probably a fan favorite. Fans will have an entire summer to “get over their mad” after this happens, and I think ABC is banking on dust settling, and then everyone tunes in next fall. If the death is my favorite, I can honestly say I probably won’t.

Other good points have been made. With a spoiler like the one we’ve gotten about a death, there is no way just any writer would be asked to handle that. I fully expect the person who said it’d be A&E, or Jane Espenson was quite correct, so on that point, who wrote 3×16? Who’s writing 3×20? 3×21? 3×22? I am betting they’ll write 3×22. The death will be filmed in studio, and we’ll have no idea who it is, until this actually happens.

I am a huge Hook fan, and a Captian Swan shipper, but I have to look at this objectively. That said, everyone should take off rose-colored glasses, and start weighing observations. Colin O’Donoghue’s tweeting pattern took a sudden change right before Christmas. My perceptions tell me it’s possible that’s when he got news it’d be him. Where has MRJ been? He’s been filming movies recently. Does that mean he’s left/leaving Once Upon A Time? It could, but not necessarilly. He’s also stated he was not in Vancouver to film another show’s pilot. Where has Emilie been? I do not know, however it’s been stated that A&E have plans for her next season, and they’ve already said Rumple is not the death. I think we can safely assume it is not any part of “Rumbelle”. Would it be Regina? Possibly, but who would be Storybrooke’s villan? In a recent interview, A&E already said the WWW will not be around forever. Emma? Once without it’s star? No, that’d rip the carpet out from under the show. It wouldn’t have a foundation to stand on. Snow and Charming? Snow? Ginny’s having a baby obviously (and so will Snow), so that’s an upcoming story line I’m sure the show has plans for. Between those two, Charming would be a possibility. He was not supposed to have survived the pilot, but he’s been around for this long. Unless this season has plans to cultivate some good story material, I just don’t see a lot for there for any hard-hitting, or significant story telling where he’s concerned.

All this said, here’s my take, and how I’m breaking it down.

The main characters who Once has the most to work from are:

*Emma (Needs no explaination. She is the show’s main character)

*Henry (because of Emma and Regina)

*Regina (her past, present, and her development into the future)

*Snow (Because of the baby, Emma, and Regina)

*Neal (Because of his past, Rumple, and how all that may play into the future)

*Rumple (Needs no explanation, but his potential may thereby provide material for Belle)

The main Characters there is the least to work from:

*Belle (If Rumple is going to be there for flashbacks then sorry, I just don’t see much there for her, except another template for the usual damsel in distress)

*Charming (Snow and Charming are OUAT’s John and Marcia. Charming is OUAT’s caped hero who ta-da-da-da-dahhhhh….runs in to save the day….again. It’s pretty much all we’re getting. “John!” “Marcia!” “John!” “Marcia!” “John!” “Marcia!”…). Too much sugar just makes a person sick.

The wild card:

*Hook (All I can see is a continual pattern of domestic material, the Snow/Charming “John!” “Marcia!” type stuff, and clever villanry on the side of whatever events are taking place in Storybrooke at any one time; in other words, a supporting character, not a main character — UNLESS the Blackbeard storyline and backstory builds more material for them to work off of. This absolutely could happen, not to mention that we fans are really hoping for more Captain Swan moments in season 4 whether romantic, or in friendship. I would like to see Hook continue to develop and evolve, how that plays into relationships, how he grows as a person, and how that impacts him and others in Storybrooke).

Who do I think the death will be? I think it is certain to be either Charming, or Hook. Personally, I hope it’s not Hook because he’s still my favorite but honestly, I wish it were nobody. I wish the show wasn’t killing anybody off.

Edit: I do think the show needs to be careful where Emma is concerned. If she does loose another romantic interest, the show’s going to make her look like a soap opera-ish diva of disaster. Just an observation.

Hello everyone

 

My name is Shir, I’m 16 years old from Israel. I was just reading posts here for two or three months and I wanted to comment too so I overcomed my laziness and signed!

I love OUAT and OUATIW and I love to think about theories and the characters and everything.

I’m sorry if my future posts won’t be grammatically correct, English is not my first language…

So that’s it basically

 

Welcome aboard, Shir! 🙂

He will. He may be tempted, but Neal will never “go to the dark side”. He may be tempted to when the pressure’s on but ultimately, his heart is good where it counts.

I read that the actress isn’t on ONCE at all…….

 

Yeah, I’m happy about Neal, but scared to death about Belle……..

 

It’s Hook who I’m worried about. It’s not just because he is another one of those being speculated on, but because I understand there are plans for Belle next season. Not only that, but this post down here makes it sound like something bad happened to a character when they were filming on the docks the other day:

 

http://www.reddit.com/r/OnceUponATime/comments/1yunlr/spoilers_currently_filming_in_steveston/

What the link says: “I live in Storybrooke (Steveston, BC), and some of the filming takes place outside my home, since that’s where the Jolly Roger is moored. The filming, taking place right now, involves the ship and gunfire. I took a few photos; they’re not very exciting, but I thought someone might find them interesting: http://imgur.com/a/D0YFy.

Also, if anyone has questions about ‘real Storybrooke’, feel free to ask.

Edit: I’ve seen Emma, Snow, Charming, Henry, Regina, Hook, and Smee on the docks today, and also someone I didn’t recognize, possibly a double for Emma Glinda. I haven’t seen the filming, since they seem to be staying on the docks behind the building, but I did hear a few girly screams.”

I hate to say this because Hook is my favorite character, but I’m still thinking it might be him. Like others have suggested, I think there’s a possibility of him sacrificing himself at season’s end; that he’ll give his life, in exchange so someone else can live. Maybe it will be for Neal, or maybe it will be out of true love for Emma. Who knows, but if that’s where the story arch has been headed, then that’s why I can see Adam saying the story demands it, much as I hate it.
