Hmmm… I thought Ariel was pretty much a sure thing.
She’s a safe bet. They wouldn’t have been dropping anvils about mermaids and magical squids if they weren’t planning to do Ariel some time soon. I wouldn’t expect them to give out any details about her yet though, especially if the tumblr post that started this thread is actually legit and ABC specifically asked for the apparent Ariel casting call to be taken down from public view. If that really did happen, it means they’re trying to keep Ariel info under wraps, which would explain why K&H were being coy in answering that question.

Also, I wouldn’t expect to see Ariel until after MAP are dealt with. Too many toys outside the box.
And it’s safe to assume that MAP will be dealt with in the first part of the season, if only because the actresses will become unavailable later.
Ariel’s timing will ultimately depend on how she relates to other people’s storylines. If she’s involved with Regina’s (her mermaid problem) or Rumple’s (the squid ink connection) then we may see her earlier if they’re gonna be focusing on the adventures of Charmingstiltskins&Co in NL at the start of the season, and giving them character centric eps. I could see them introducing Ariel as a bit part player in a Regina or Rumple story, just as a teaser, but they hold off on the actual Little Mermaid story until the 2nd half of the season.

Ah, but what would we name such a ship, that’s the real question!
I vote FlyingFish.😆 😆
Love that name suggestion!
It’s so sweet that Emilie took off with this idea. Colin must be bummed about having to leave his band, but hopefully this convo is making him chuckle. 😉

Also, is anyone else watching this hysterical #ouatband conversation on Twitter right now? Clearly EdR should be playing the cow “belle” often. I’m dying.
Yes, it’s so cute! 😆 Colin’s tweet about having to leave the band that started this whole convo, I replied to both him & TheEnemiesMusic saying it was probably hard to play guitar with a hook for a hand. Then TheEnemiesMusic faved my tweet and I giggled and flailed like a tragic fangirl. 😉 😆
Gotta love it when fans directly tell the creator of the show what they are and aren’t going to do. Seriously, vent and rant and speculate all you want with fellow fans, but don’t presume that you know the show better than the dude who’s actually writing the freaking story. 🙄

I’m telling you all: Mirrors!
As in a “Through the Looking Glass” portal to NL, like the mirror Cora went through to WL?
Nope, as in the Beauty and the Beast mirror: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Enchanted_Mirror
Also, she goes to FTL to get Bae and take him to NL.
But why would Belle do so? She doesn’t even know Bae is still alive. It’s not as though Belle can communicate with Aurora in the EF through dreams like Henry, Snow or David could after waking from the sleeping curse.
They’ll re-grow beans from the plant in Regina’s office, Belle will go looking for Rumple in FTL, and instead will find Nealfire. Then they’ll team up to track down Rumple in NL. We hope.

Was just googling to see if anywhere listed Laine in a cast list for Once. Checked her Twitter and found this. Mystery solved!

OK! Back to the drawing board. Jeez. How many posts did we have over in the spoiler for 2×22 thread about her???
Dude, for real! If only she knew! 😆 😆
It’s always the Uncle. A la Hamlet/The Lion King.
You just had to go and make me think of Scar. I hate Scar.

We don’t even know yet if Hook was telling Bae the whole truth though.
I think he’s telling the truth in that he *thinks* he’s telling the truth. If his throne was usurped while he was still a young child, and someone spirited him away and kept him in ignorance his entire life: that’s a fairy tale story. The Lost Prince, that’s a common trope/motif.
So my headcanon goes like this:
–Baby Prince “Hook” (let’s call him Eric 😉 ) has a rival for the throne: his uncle, most likely.
–The uncle has planned to kill Eric.
–A kind woman, probably a servant of Eric’s mother who died in childbirth, spirits Eric away because the evil Uncle has killed the King and is now out to kill the Prince.
–The kind woman raises Eric, but she is in poor health and dies when he is still quite young. Eric (now going by the name Killian) is taken up by a man who is not an honest man and gives him the last name of Jones.
–Killian grows up believing he is Killian Jones, son of Davy.
–Insert the story Killian told to young Bae.Screams fairy tale. And it’s all in my head.
Ah, I totally had an Evil Uncle usurping the throne in some of my ideas for Hook’s history too! Great minds. 😉 I’d be totally fine with it if something like this proved true. I want Killian to have an epic backstory.

If she needs to learn to swim/ scuba dive etc…. it might make sense for them to cast the actress earlier to give her specialized training.
Probably takes some time to learn how to move naturally whilst wearing a mermaid costume. Probably takes some time to create a custom fit mermaid tail too.

Hook said his father was a fugitive,
We don’t even know yet if Hook was telling Bae the whole truth though.
@slurpeez108 wrote:
Also, I don’t think Hook and Ariel were involved romantically. Hook’s true love was Milha, and I don’t think he ever got over this until maybe Emma. I doubt he had a relationship with a mermaid in NL, especially since Hook said the mermaids were cursed and said he hoped they spare Bae’s soul. So, at least at that point, Hook didn’t have a high view of mermaids.
My headcanon basically involves endless unrequited love, playing off the idea from the Anderson version of the story where the mermaid’s prince gave his heart to and married someone else. Killian had already given his heart away to Milah, but Ariel didn’t know that until after she’d become human. She’s still in NL, and he’s about to go back, and the romance happens in present day. (I have thought way too much about this ship. 😆 )

Also, we still haven’t seen Laine MacNeil’s character on the show, but I’m pretty certain she will appear in S3. The same source that leaked Freya Tingley had been cast is the same source for Lanie’s casting. We still don’t know which character Lanie might appear as, but until I read Ariel’s actual casting call, I’m not ruling out Lanie MacNeil as portraying Ariel.
I’ve been wondering if someone seeing her was a case of mistaken identity, or perhaps she was one of the Lost Ones, (they did specify Ones as opposed to Boys) and she was one of the people with their faces covered.
