I don’t know that it could be someone Regina is currently interacting with, which leaves flashbacks.
Or it’s just gonna happen in the future. Part of my thinking with RegalHood is that he lived in Sherwood Forest, but Regina terrorised the Enchanted Forest, which means he was never directly affected by her deeds and never saw them first hand. That would put him in the position of not being quite as judgy about her as everyone else we’ve met so far is. I dunno that anyone who lived under her rule back in FTL would ever be able to truly give her a chance. But if all he knows about Regina is a story Snow told him about the woman who saved her from falling off a horse and dying, and how Snow believes there’s still good in her and wishes it could be brought out, (the story she told to DisguisedRegina), then he’s gonna be in more of a position to want to get to know her than most other people would.
[adrotate group="5"]Still don’t think it will be Hook. Nope. He’s destined for the CaptainSwanFire debacle. They’re not going to throw Regina into that mix, too.
Agreed. Triangles are tricky enough to do well, (and they will for sure pursue the CaptainSwanFire triangle). No sense making it harder for themselves by involving Regina too.
She wouldn’t tolerate being part of that nonsense, anyway. She’s been screwed around by love enough, so she’s not gonna sit around while Hook sorts out his feelings for Emma. If she was gonna be determined to get a piece of him, she’d have to be aggressively going after his love, trying to wrench his attention away from Emma (and Neal, because you know he’ll have residual wannabe-step-daddy-feels to sort through when he sees Bae again). That’s the complete opposite of what they’ve implied about her probably being hesitant about loving again.
Aaaannnnd, that’s where Henry got the idea to call Archie’s number in The Outsider when he was missing him.
This is a sweet scene.
Yeah, the best guess is a few years pre-Curse. Lacey events happened before Snowing got their act together, because Rumple later gave that bow to Snow, and she inadvertently shot Charming with it while trying to shoot Regina.
I guess it could be someone new except adding another new character on top of PP, Tink, Ariel, random Lost Boys and maybe Ursula and Triton feels heavy and unfocused and too many new characters was the problem last season. It almost has to be someone we already know.
But like I said before, they’ve used terms like, “we’ll be meeting” and Adam tweeting “her new love is coming soon”, makes it sound like someone who isn’t already there to me. Also, anyone who’s already there wouldn’t be a healthy relationship for Regina IMO. HookedQueen would be hot, but I think they’re each too personally destructive to be able to support each other in a healthy, long lasting relationship.
Like you mentioned, it’d mean adding yet another new character, on top of ones we’re already getting. That’s a reason why I think RH is a realistic candidate. We may have met him before, but just barely. It’s not like we actually know him yet, (don’t know him at all with his new face), but we know we’re gonna get to. That qualifies RH as a “coming soon” type of character. If they’re looking to try and keep the cast from bloating this season, why bother bringing back RH at all if he’s just gonna be around to hang out with Belle for a few eps? Grumpy could do that. There’s some specific reason they’re re-introducing RH. They’re gonna give him a story. If there’s also another newbie who is being set up for Regina, the cast is starting to snowball.
Like I said before, if he is gonna be someone new who we know nothing about yet, I’d expect to see a casting call or hear some casting news soon. This guy is meant to be seen early on in the season. We’ve only got 11 eps to play with before the hiatus. “Very early on” in a block of 11 eps suggests before ep 5, and they’re already up to filming ep 3, will have ep 4 written, and will be into planning ep 5. So we’ll see soon enough if any more info about more new characters gets leaked. If it does, I may let the RegalHood ship sink. He just seems like the prime candidate right now IMO, considering the tidbits we currently know.
This person will be uploading some more deleted scenes today: http://arealprincesscharming.tumblr.com/post/57611111373
TVPC has livestreams of many US channels, including ABC. I just download a torrent of each ep right after it airs over there.
Well we’ve seen Regina in true love, seen someone have a crush on her, seen her in a coercive/abusive thing with Graham and a loveless marriage too….so kind of what’s left to explore?
That’s why I reckon her next guy could well be her eventual endgame. K&H have said before that they intend to explore the idea of loving again once you’ve lost your (first) true love. Setting up a relationship for Regina that will be genuine, functional, positive and long lasting would be showing that hopeful, loving again story. We know she’s gonna have that story at some point, because we’ve seen FrankenDaniel tell her to do it…
Regina: But I love you.
Daniel: Then love again.
…If they’re gonna have Regina honour Daniel’s final wish for her, I reckon they have to ultimately give her an actual, loving, healthy relationship with a standup guy. Daniel loved the good person she used to be, so I believe there will be someone who will be able to bring that out in her again. Eventually. Even if the relationship doesn’t start out easy and love at first sight. If they introduced such a character now, they’d have time to show the relationship growing and Regina changing for the better as she comes to terms with having a new love in her life.
Does the Red/Hook ship have a name yet?
I saw this tumblr post just before that’s tagged as CaptainWolf: http://redmoonandthesea.tumblr.com/post/57574359595/i-thought-it-was-a-hallucination-although-youre
In this article there is said that Hook will be a part of a new love triangle with Regina and Emma.
http://www.examiner.com/article/once-upon-a-time-season-3-spoilers-love-and-more-changes-teased
That’s the first article I’ve seen mentioning a Regina-Hook-Emma triangle, but it says “previous spoilers have teased.” Everything I’ve seen that implies Hook will be in a triangle is suggesting it’s a triangle with Emma and Neal. They played it up any chance they got at Comic-Con. The only time I remember seeing HookedQueen brought up was in that interview with the cast standing together, and the interviewer suggested it, and they all reacted like, “Say what, haven’t heard that one before,” and Colin adorably leered over Lana’s shoulder as they joked about the possibility.
Hook and Emma will be building on their relationship in NL. She’s the only person he really feels that he can trust and talk to. The writers will want to establish their bond before Neal gets brought back to complicate things. Not sure how they could do that and also have Hook convincingly pursue a relationship with Regina at the same time.
Anyway, the way they’ve been saying that we’ll “meet her love interest” doesn’t sound like it’s a character we already know well, so I really don’t think that Hook is in the running. If it’s someone brand new who we’ve never seen before, there’d have to be a casting call soon, if he’s gonna be “very early on” in the season.
They never said the romance is mutual, present day or true love. We may meet Regina’s version of Rumpel’s thing with Cora.
GAH, I still haven’t recovered from Corumple! I reckon Graham qualifies as Regina’s “that is SO wrong” relationship, so we don’t really need another one.
What if Regina met RH in the past, and then he met Marion and dumped Regina for true love? Hath no fury like the saying goes. Maybe Regina cursed Marion and Baby.
If they do go with RegalHood, I hope that’s not how they do it. The main reason I’m crackshipping it is because I reckon he’s exactly the type of character who could be a good influence on her in the future. Months ago, before we even knew that RH was gonna be on the show at all, there was a thread discussing potential candidates for Regina’s man and RH was one of the suggestions that I liked. Didn’t really think about it as a potentially realistic prospect until they re-cast RH for S3 though. Now I’ve thought about it a bit too much. Ooops. 😛
