Hmm. Since when is a baby a magical device that bumps up the charisma stats of a disliked character?
Because A and E are obsessed with the idea of the sanctification of motherhood and motherhood as salvation trope.
Regina? Mother who had a hole in her heart until child.
Emma? Mother who broke a huge curse because of the love she born her son.
Cora? Mother who’s last words were that her daughter would have been enough.
Zelena? One redeemed mother coming up!
Ingrid? Foster mother looking to make two young girls (nieces/daughter stands in) into her sisters/daughters
Mal? Mother who was wronged when she lost her child and only wants her back
Snow? Decided to be heroes because they owed it to their daughter after their Lily incident.
(geez, typing all that out really drove the point home so I’ll just leave it there)
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Made for my mom for her desk during the month of May, a crochet potted plant.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"No he wouldn’t which is why I think they wouldn’t have Zelena do that.
But from a writing perspective, it is the easiest solution, whether or not it’s in Robin’s character is beside the point. How much OOC have we come up with in this season alone? Having Zelena safely ensconced away in the EF, but available for guest star if A and E get a SHINY idea, but out of the way so that the OQ ship can safely sail forth without the constant reminder of Zelena and baby is the easiest answer as a writer.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"They redeem Zelena:
I think the #3 option for this is that RH and Regina let Zelena go back to the EF and raise her baby there (no, I have no idea how she gets back. But portals are apparently all the rage lately. Ariel can take her or something equally silly). The issue? Robin has now abandoned his child with another woman (even if it’s one that was forced upon him) to be with Regina. Would RH with his (frustrating) code really agree to never see his child again?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"“If anything could turn Zelena into a more sympathetic character–it’s a baby”
From the above interview.
NOPE NOPE NOPE.
That’s not how this works, boys! Zelena raping a man with the intention of getting pregnant and using that baby out of spite does not make my sympathize with her. It makes me sympathize with the BABY.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"…pretty sure you still need to have sex to conceive a baby (or something akin to sex like IVF)
Zelena was lonely and cray cray. I could imagine her using that dagger to summon Stiltskin in the middle of the night and…..yeah. I mean, honestly, would you put it past her? She was obviously attracted to Rump and maybe even in love with him, and was clearly open to the idea of them being….ahem, intimate on that kitchen table. And now she had ultimate power over him to FORCE him to do whatever she wanted. Rumpel was to Zelena what Graham was to Regina.
And there’s the number one reason why your scenario can’t be true. A and E tip toe (like a proverbial herd of elephants) around rape, only dipping their toe into that pond and then fleeing claiming “you don’t know what was going on!” But actual rape? Rumple actually being compelled by the dagger to service Zelena and more, very real, literal version of rape? Nope. A and E aren’t going to go down that path.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"henry will have to write them back into play using the heart of the truest believer somehow.
They showed all those empty books in the Sorcerer’s house for a reason. Henry is the next Author and his “big hero” moment is writing the story we’ve known back into existence after Rumple and co. change it.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think all the couples will be fine eventually. I do however think that the couple people should be most worried about in the immediate future is CaptainSwan. All the Once couples so far, excluding CS, have had to deal with the crap thrown at them by the writers (for OQ, that crap comes bearing the name Zelena), CS is the only couple that haven’t had to go through major trials in their relationship so far, so it makes sense that it’s their turn now.
The biggest obstacle CS will have to face is Black! Swan.
That’s it. It won’t be anything near the kind of angst Rumbelle or OQ or even Snowing had to put up with.
