Yes, but as far as we know, he’s only back for one ep, 302.
ETA: Snap RG, we posted the same thing at the same time. 😛
[adrotate group="5"]forgot about that! I wonder if Rumple made a deal for that Trident.
To tie it in with the theory I mentioned about Ariel being trapped in FTL, perhaps Triton made a deal with Rumple to try and find her? Triton isn’t gonna hand over his trident for any old deal, but if it’s to find or protect one of his children, he would. Could sorta be a nod to the Disney version where he swaps places with Ariel as Ursula’s prisoner and she ends up with his trident.
I would have liked Ariel to be about 18, since that way she’d have been old enough to handle some mature themes like romance, but still young enough to still defy her father. The entire conflict in the movie is that a little mermaid, forbidden by her father from going above water, nevertheless falls in love with a human. At 30 years of age, is a woman really bound by the rules of her father?
I admit, I’d thought they might cast her early 20s at the oldest. Though we don’t know exactly how old the character is meant to be, because JoAnna is the same age as JMo, who is playing a bit younger.
With JoAnna’s age in mind though, I’ve been wondering about how they could work with it, and wondered if perhaps as a teen she was being her rebellious self, going off exploring where she wasn’t supposed to, and she ended up finding her way to FTL and got trapped there for years, (during which time she became fascinated with humans), which is why she’s in her 30s in present day, (though what that means for her actual age in mermaid years, who knows, because Anderson wrote that they can live to be 300, but we dunno if K&H’s mermaids will). Her dealing with Regina was her trying to find a way home to NL.
i’ve watched JG in Privileged this week having known she was cast as Ariel and it’s like that was a mini interview its funny there’s a scene where this guy calls her a disney princess and her room is full of sea shells and she even uses one at one point as a weapon made me laugh cos she actually is now and Ariel of all people.. funny how the world works huh
😆 She was destined for this role! I’ll have to check out Privileged at some point.
but they never mention Triton. So it could be that they are doing away with her father altogether and focusing on Ariel, Eric, and Ursula.
What makes me think they’ll have Triton is that Rumple had a trident in his hall of trophies. There’s gotta be a story to how he got it. The only scene it’s visible in is the scene where Regina mentions the mermaid.
It’s Phillip lmao… That boy does get about wouldn’t surprise me
He’s not satisfied with having Aurora, plus Mulan crushing on him, he’s gotta have Ariel too. What a greedy little bugger. 😛
So I’m rewatching the crocodile and I was once again wondering how Hook new about Neverland. I had assumed he had been there before, which may be possible. But if mermaids can travel between worlds (which has been theorized) maybe Ariel told Hook about Neverland when they were kids before he was a pirate (in my head canon they knew each other as children and she loved him but he went off gallivanting, maybe was once known as prince eric)
That’s a cool idea for how he found out about NL! I always end up stumped when I try to think about how mermaids are in NL but Regina was dealing with one and she’s in FTL. Was she dealing with someone in NL? Was the mermaid in FTL? Can Ariel really become enamoured of the human world if all she’s see is NL?
Just last night I was thinking about it when I was supposed to be falling asleep, and wondered if maybe Ariel is from NL, and as a teenager she went off exploring and ended up in FTL and ended up trapped there.
Grasping at straws I know, but this is a crackship, so I’ll take anything I can get. 😛
😆 I dunno how canon that segment was meant to be, but part of me hopes not very, because poor Grumpy.
I am convinced Rumple splits from the others by magic. He is not going to fall overboard. He is on a mission, and I bet he thinks they will get in his way. Which means I think he would not help them if one fell in, because he is not part of a team in his mind.
Agreed. Maybe Emma falls overboard due to the shock of seeing him in his Rumple costume, and then he giggles and vanishes with a, “Good luck, Dearies.” 😛
Well done guessing the song, ladies! “Maybe” totally means “yes” with that guy.
Reading the lyrics, it sorta makes me envision PP running NL, overseeing all the Lost Boys. “There’s a score of hair-brained children, They’re all locked in the nursery.” And, “Doncha think we need a woman’s touch to make it come alive?” makes me think of Wendy.
Also, the title makes me think of that saying, “old habits die hard,” which could be applied to both PP and to Rumple.
I’m optimistic that she’s gonna get a decent amount of screentime, for several reasons, but one of the main ones is that The Little Mermaid is being re-released on DVD/BluRay only a month before 306 is due to air. Ariel’s the fave Disney Princess of a crapload of people, who will be high on their new DVDs and ready to eat up anything and everything Ariel related. The character could potentially bring in a bunch of new viewers. It would be a waste for them to not capitalise on her popularity.
Perhaps they’ve only publicly confirmed 2 eps so far because they’re anticipating a whole lot of chatter in the media and social media when it comes time for the ep to air, with everyone wondering what their version will be like. Then once it does air, and everyone’s freaking out over how cool it is to finally have Ariel on the show, that will be the more sensible time to reveal that she’s gonna be around for longer. Allows for articles published after 306 to say, “She was such a huge hit with fans that we’re happy to confirm that you’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future.” Gets everyone hyped up all over again.
They wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of shooting the promo for Comic-Con if she was only gonna be in 2 eps total.
If she was gonna be an insignificant bit part, they wouldn’t have had someone in mind to play her pretty much since the show started, and they wouldn’t have waited until that particular actress was available.
They’re probably in the middle of shooting 304 right now, or are about to start. Adam tweeted on the 8th that they were shooting 303.
