Many fans have said that Tom Welling would make a good Eric. Don’t think anyone actually involved with the show has said anything about it though.
[adrotate group="5"]I suppose if it wasn’t a story they planned to tell yet, but were keeping in reserve for some later, unknown date, it wouldn’t necessarily be listed as a recurring role.
But if Hook’s father is just a one shot guest star, then he can’t become Davy Jones. And I want Papa Davy Jones just about as much as I want Hookriel. *sits in the corner with you and pouts*
To me, that smacks of a roundabout ‘yes’ that Henry does indeed have magic. He is borne of the Savior and raised by the Evil Queen. His grandfather is the Dark One. All of those things make Henry more likely to be magical than not. The fact that his is likely also the Truest Believer makes that possibility even more certain in my mind.
Agreed! He could have stopped answering after saying it was a possibility. Instead he added the point about him being the product of magic, to give us something more to consider in regards to the subject.
I just dunno that they’d give a hint about it without actually showing it properly. It’s the sort of event that’s a vital step in the story, so you can’t really show the immediate before, then the after, and leave the actual rescue for a later ep, because there’d be no story structure for it to fit into later if the before and after has already been shown. Unless they’re saving it as a stand alone scene whenever Hook finds out about it in present day? I just think it’d feel disjointed if they showed it that way.
Also, if they even so much as hint at a guy getting rescued by a mermaid, that instantly gives away who’s filling the Eric role. If that person is Hook, then there’s no point in them building the connection and tension of CaptainSwanFire, because Ariel and Eric are epic Disney endgame. If Liam is Eric, they might be more inclined to show it, I guess.
Liam is only listed as “guest role” though, in the same blurb where another character is listed as “potentially recurring”, so it makes me think that Liam is likely a one shot? I’d think whoever’s filling the Eric role would be more than a one shot because he’ll also have to appear in an Ariel centric? Though I guess if he’s either Killian’s father, or father figure, that may well require him being in more than one ep too? *HEADDESK*
The only thing that throws me is the “dark hair” they wanted on Liam so specifically. Unless he is Eric, and that was why rather than making him look related to Hook.
Given that he’s a Captain, I’m guessing he won’t be referred to by his first name. If he is Killian’s father, we may see Killian call him “father” and the crew call him, “Captain Jones”, but I can see them conveniently avoiding having to say his first name to confirm or deny that he’s Eric, (or Davy).
Given that Ariel won’t show up until 306, I doubt we’ll see anyone getting saved by a redheaded mermaid in 305. That rescue is a major plot point and an iconic scene from the movie, so if they’re gonna do it, I can’t imagine them glossing over it without us seeing her face and speaking. So that won’t confirm or deny if Liam or Killian are meant to be Eric either.
I have visions of 2 guys with dark hair, blue eyes, dressed in Navy uniforms so they both look Eric-ish, so they can drive us crazy and keep us guessing for a bit longer. 😛
As far as the dark hair goes, I’m still leaning towards it being an indicator that Liam is Killian’s bio-dad. But they could be casting someone who looks like him who is his father, (or a father figure), but not his bio-dad, and there’s some story they don’t wanna reveal yet about his bio-parents having died and Liam adopting him. If they look alike, they can keep that twist under wraps for now. If Liam was an orphan himself, maybe he came across an orphaned Killian when he was a baby, and didn’t want him to suffer his same fate of growing up without any family.
I reckon it’s gonna be the Seer who drew it, essentially because it’d make for a pretty cool scene to have someone with no eyes (in their head, at least) sit down and draw such an accurate pic of anything, let alone a pic of Henry.
Possibly. I was just saying, because I’d been thinking maybe her mother was involved in the getting of the squid ink, and we’re apparently getting a squid ink story in 304, and Adam’s tweeting her right when they’re working on 304…I got a bit excited for a minute. 😉
I actually wouldn’t be surprised to meet the whole of Ariel’s family before meeting her. The mermaids in 301 could be her sisters, we could see her parents in 304 with some story involving squid ink and maybe even Rumple getting the trident, and then Ariel, the one we really want to see, would be the last family member we meet.
Hook’s obsession with “good form” is a holdover from his higher education. It was ingrained in him from an early age that those who possessed “good form” often did not know it and that was why it was considered good form. Bad form is the highest insult of all to Hook and he spends much time fretting over his own possible fall towards bad form.

Passages from Peter and Wendy where Hook’s obsession with “good form” is referenced…
Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze; but as those who read between the lines must already have guessed, he had been at a famous public school; and its traditions still clung to him like garments, with which indeed they are largely concerned. Thus it was offensive to him even now to board a ship in the same dress in which he grappled her; and he still adhered in his walk to the school’s distinguished slouch. But above all he retained the passion for good form.
Good form! However much he may have degenerated, he still knew that this is all that really matters.
From far within him he heard a creaking as of rusty portals, and through them came a stern tap-tap-tap, like hammering in the night when one cannot sleep. ‘Have you been good form to-day?’ was their eternal question.
‘Fame, fame, that glittering bauble, it is mine,’ he cried.
‘Is it quite good form to be distinguished at anything?’ the tap-tap from his school replied.
‘I am the only man whom Barbecue feared,’ he urged; ‘and Flint himself feared Barbecue.’
‘Barbecue, Flint—what house?’ came the cutting retort.
Most disquieting reflection of all, was it not bad form to think about good form?
His vitals were tortured by this problem. It was a claw within him sharper than the iron one; and as it tore him, the perspiration dripped down his tallow countenance and streaked his doublet. Ofttimes he drew his sleeve across his face, but there was no damming that trickle.
To tell poor Smee that they thought him lovable! Hook itched to do it, but it seemed too brutal. Instead, he revolved this mystery in his mind: why do they find Smee lovable? He pursued the problem like the sleuth-hound that he was. If Smee was lovable, what was it that made him so? A terrible answer suddenly presented itself: ‘Good form?’
Had the bo’sun good form without knowing it, which is the best form of all?
He remembered that you have to prove you don’t know you have it before you are eligible for Pop.
With a cry of rage he raised his iron hand over Smee’s head; but he did not tear. What arrested him was this reflection:
‘To claw a man because he is good form, what would that be?’
‘Bad form!’
‘Now!’ cried all the boys; but with a magnificent gesture Peter invited his opponent to pick up his sword. Hook did so instantly, but with a tragic feeling that Peter was showing good form.
Hitherto he had thought it was some fiend fighting him, but darker suspicions assailed him now.
‘Pan, who and what art thou?’ he cried huskily.
‘I’m youth, I’m joy,’ Peter answered at a venture, ‘I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.’
This, of course, was nonsense; but it was proof to the unhappy Hook that Peter did not know in the least who or what he was, which is the very pinnacle of good form.
