    Sorry do be a Debbie downer, but in keeping with Fairy tale tradition, children seldom grow up with both parents. Meaning, I think either Snow or Charming will die. I know that Henry also technically has both parents, but has lived most of his childhood with only one parent. On the other hand, let’s consider real life intruding on our storytelling. I wouldn’t be shocked if Jared’s real life family has decided to take Jared back to California and let him go back to a normal life until he’s older.

    It’s common Disney tradition too. Disney characters have lost one or both of their parents, either before or during their films.

    Snow White: Lost both of her parents, and was raised by the Evil Queen.

    Pinocchio: Was raised by sole parent, Geppetto.

    Bambi: His mom is shot by a hunter.

    Cinderella: Mom passes away, and her father gets married to Lady Tremaine. Her father then passes away, leaving Cinderella with stepmother Lady Tremaine and her two stepsisters.

    Sleeping Beauty: Rare case where both of Aurora’s parents stay alive, but Aurora is still raised without them.

    The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s mother was killed prior to the film, with the details of her death explained in the direct-to-video prequel “Ariel’s Beginnings.” She only has her father King Triton around.

    Beauty & The Beast: Belle’s mother is not around, and she only has her father Maurice.

    Aladdin: Aladdin neither has his mother and father around. However, Aladdin’s father is discovered to be alive in the direct-to-video sequel “Aladdin and the King of Thieves.” Aladdin still thought his father was dead, and the audience initially assumed the same.

    The Lion King: Mufasa is infamously killed onscreen and dies right in front of Simba.

    The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Frollo murders Quasimodo’s mother, prior to him reluctantly adopting Quasimodo.

    Tarzan: Both of Tarzan’s parents are killed off at the beginning of the film.

    The Princess and the Frog: Tiana’s father dies during WWI.

    Tangled: Both of Rapunzel’s parents are alive, but she is raised without them for most of her life.

    Frozen: Anna and Elsa’s parents are killed off in the first few minutes of the film.

    I am leaning more and more towards the death not being purely for story reasons, despite what Adam has said. As a professional, Adam has no choice but to stretch the truth about any possible behind the scenes drama. A Behind the Scenes reason for the death holds more water than the death being story driven, because as RG has said ALL of the regulars have reasons to stick around on the show. The actor who is leaving may very well have his own personal reasons for leaving, but that much isn’t required for public knowledge, despite our frustration. We have to be honest, we don’t know how all of the actors are like once they are away from public eyes. As much as I hate to go back to that PA’s rumor of somebody being written off the show as result of being unhappy, I can’t help but still feel there might be some truth in it. Sadly its a bit too coincidental for that death spoiler to come from an official source right after that PA’s rumor spread around. As far as the death being for “story reasons”, it could still be partially true, but only because Adam and Eddy can write it out to appear that way.

    On the topic of internal drama, RG, the death could be a way of dealing with more of that. A death of this magnitude could forever change any of the remaining characters, nor will it likely be something they’ll just forget about that quickly. There will be the internal conflict of how these characters can move forward from their loss.

    As for who I personally think will be killed off, I don’t know if I feel comfortable disclosing that here given the sensitivity of some of our fanbase. It would only result in some back and forth debating that has worn itself out.

    As far as VCF goes, I do not like that person. The reason why they want links to their pics is because the traffic from the website and his hits is how he makes his money. He’s so deceptive and rude. I do not like that man, very unprofessional website.

    Despite any personal issues you or anybody else has with VCF, those are still legally his photos that he spent the time and effort taking. His agenda might be questionable to people at times, but we still have to respect the legality of the situation.

    Anyone else think it’s funny that at this rate, we’ll be watching them film the last few eps of the season just when we start watching S3B?

    Yeah and my brain can barely comprehend that right now, LOL :lol: I still think there could be a break around Easter (ABC usually airs The Ten Commandments around that time) but maybe they’re changing things up this year. Who knows at this point! :eek:

    Even a week off for Easter doesn’t really work with this schedule. As is, Once Season 3 is slated to end on May 18th, and I doubt they’ll stretch it out beyond that.

    I would think they all had to do ADR for the outdoor scenes–at night, in a crowd with wind and all that probably hard to hear what they were saying. I wonder if 316 and 317 are sort of a cliffhanger thing? The show is going straight through but is there a holiday thing of one week off or anything? They definitely are doing lots and lots of night shooting (poor babies, so cold).

    The promo for 312 said “no breaks for the rest of the Season”, in regards to the 2nd half, so doubtful.

    There is a break for Easter IIRC so they could do a two week mini cliffhanger thing there but seriously, these people should NOT be trusted for any information. The only ‘death’ that happened during an outside film shot was the Rumple-Pan scene and I think it’s safe to say that death isn’t sticking anytime soon. No way they film that outside nor are they going to give that information away to random people. BTW-Did a little sleuthing from past tweets for that user and it appears the person got blocked by JMo. Just thought I’d throw that out there not to mention that the person isn’t really associated with the show. They’re literally a paparazzi type of person who actively seeks out stuff so they can post it online which may be what got them blocked by Jen, LOL ;) BREATHE Y’ALL!! This hiatus is killing everyone. *sighs*

    Actually, the promo for 312 specifically said “no breaks for the rest of the Season.”

    things were so nice in season one when we were just getting used to the show in general and each other and coming up with awesome theories, without a lot of ‘shipper talk. it used to be so nice to come to the forums and talk about what’s going on. now, most of the time, I feel like I have to censor myself to avoid conflict.

    And that’s because neither Neal nor Hook were introduced till Season 2, who started the most fierce of shipping wars. Back in Season 1, we cared about Emma’s journey of becoming the savior and bonding with her son Henry. Personally, I’ve always just left it up to the show to decide how the relationships evolve. In the case of Emma, I’m going to leave it up to her as a character to decide how her life unfolds, and who she chooses to be with. I’ve never been one to challenge the creators of the show on what ships should become endgame, as it is their story first and foremost. We the fans are integral to the show, but who are we to tell them how to write their own stories just because we support a couple that much? Another reason I avoid ships is because I really feel people get so into it that they don’t get the opportunity to focus on the rest of the show. As for those who do take into this aspect of the fandom, I respect you as long as you remain respectful to everyone else in regards to who they do ship.

    I do think a hypothetical mini series for Neverland would be the best way to explain a lot of this. One issue in general is that aside from Hook, the other Neverland characters (Teen Bae’s actor isn’t a regular) aren’t regulars on Once Upon A Time, and they have a limited amount of centric episodes for each of the regulars per Season. The other issue is that they would need to somehow relate the events of the flashback to the present day storyline of each episode.

    I went ahead and merged the two threads. Both were essentially the same topic, so it’s redundant to have two of them.
