I’ve been observing people saying ” if it is Neal, why they didn’t just kill him at the end of Season 2?”, and I have an explanation. Neal’s part in Rumple’s story simply wasn’t resolved. Season 2 ended with Neal arguing with Rumple yet again, and going back to not trusting him. The Neverland arc focused so much on Rumple’s redemption, and patching things up with Neal was a huge part of that. Neal finally forgave and trusted Rumple during “Think Lovely Thoughts”, and furthermore after he saw Rumple sacrifice himself for everyone first hand in “Going Home.” Neal’s character arc with Emma also needed to further be addressed during these episodes, but how that relationship could progress in the future depends on who you ship, nor am I going to get into that. So whether you believe he’s getting the axe or not, that father-son relationship had to be further developed.
[adrotate group="5"]I know a TV show is not like guarding state secrets, but for the co-creators to be so careless as to give away a potentially huge spoiler would be amateur. And A&E are not amateurs; they’ve been in this business for well over a decade writing for prominent shows like Lost. What they say is something they can control. This wasn’t a pap photo leak; it was an interview. If @DianeJReed did not misquote @AdamHorowitzLA then why did she retweet all of his clarifications on her Twitter page? It’s possible she did make a mistake. She is not a professional reporter; she a fan of the show who conducted an interview for a fan-made website.
I know this particular interview wasn’t a pap leak, but I was more or less just saying in regards to spoilers in general. I already listed several big spoilers that were leaked before, so it’s not like A&E have had the best track record for being able to prevent huge spoilers. Perhaps this time around they have, but it could go either way.

https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/432612290135719936 It could be damage control or it might not be. Whatever the truth is will soon be revealed. For people like A&E, who’ve got over a decade of experience in the business, to let out that big a spoiler would be a terrible blunder on their part. So either they’re just really bad at not spoiling or a “reporter” (who is really a fan) misquoted them. Adam says to believe him, not the person who did the interview. I’d be curious to read what @DianeJReed has to say in reply to Adam’s assertions that he was misquoted and that it was taken out of context.
It’s also out of their hands when so many of these spoilers leak. The curse breaking at the end of Season 1, Rumple and Emma finding Neal in NYC, August turning back into kid Pinocchio, Greg and Tamara kidnapping Henry, the Jolly Roger gang arriving safely from Neverland with Charming included, and Rumple stabbing Pan while Pan transforms back into Malcolm were all major spoilers that were leaked thanks to the paparazzi. Who’s to say this death won’t eventually add up as a confirmed leaked spoiler within the next few weeks? There’s only so much stealth that cast and crew can manage in situations like these. You can’t just magically have the entire show filmed indoors to hide all spoilers either when Storybrooke’s exteriors are a major part of the show’s setting. The town of Steveston is public property. Like Jo said, it’s a TV show, not some classified government secret.
@AdamHorowitzLA so is there going to be a b4 special like there was b4 season 3 started @AdamHorowitzLA @Meguin325 yes https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/432642534297194496 Daniel’s working on getting the twitter embed fixed.
There was a post on the official Once Facebook page a few weeks ago that showed Adam and Eddy in what appeared to be talking in front of a green screen. I think we’re getting a recap special that will go over the Neverland arc, while also teasing the 2nd half of the Season.
I think so too MP, but looks at those fans they’re already going nuts I’d take a long twitter break if I were Adam after the death
To give some people the benefit of the doubt, it really could be honest misquotes. I hate to feel like I’m not trusting Adam, but honestly this is like the 3rd interview in a row where Adam has backtracked when called out about it on Twitter. He probably underestimates how much fans have read between the lines before, and there have been times where spoilers he’s backpedaled from before turned out to be true. For example, when spoiler pics of Rumple killing Pan got out, and Adam kept replying “it’s not what you think. The photos are out of context, etc.” Again, though, none of us know for a fact. Just something to consider.
I find it interesting how they emphasized that the idea of home and happy endings aren’t always what we expect them to be. Take that as you will.
Eddy: When Adam and I created Emma, she became a character who is looking for home. But since she never had one, she doesn’t know what it is when she finds it. And so, like most people, you always have internal struggles. I think that the theme of going home is that happy endings aren’t always what we expect them to be. So I think Emma is still looking for home, but in a lot of ways, all the characters are. Think about it—if you have a good day today, but tomorrow sucks, you hope that the day after will be better. That is what we realized—happy endings aren’t always as pat as we thought they would be. And they’re something that have to be fought for and earned.
Here are some more tweets on the unmentionable spoiler. Take them as you will. https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/432590347848273921 https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/432564641273634816 https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/432564860811890688
I think this could very likely be Adam playing damage control to not rule out any suspects.
I’m thinking the two last episodes of the Season could be the cast actually going to Oz, so “Over the Rainbow.”
Well I betcha it will be someone else from Lost again
If they’re going to go that route, it would probably be Maggie Grace =p:
