    Interesting thing about this blind item is every show’s fandom that fits the criteria fervently feels it’s about their show. Gladiators are convinced it’s Scandal, Dawsey fans are convinced it’s Chicago Fire, etc. Realistically, without further information we can’t say for certain that it is one show over another. Ultimately, only time will tell who the Blind Item is about. And even if it isn’t about Once that doesn’t negate the possibility of a pregnancy on this show.

    That’s very true. However, I think a lot of OUAT fans started speculating during “Smash the Mirror” – three weeks before the blind item … But it’ll be interesting to see either way what happens :-)

    And if the Lana pregnancy rumors are true….then I’m quite certain Regina will be written in as pregnant.

    One simple reason: Double-standards. We don’t like to talk about it, but it’s definitely implied.

    Quoted for the truth. It really depends on each person’s favorite characters. For example, a fan of Rumple is going to be a lot more apologetic and defensive about his actions, while not being so sympathetic when other certain characters do harmful deeds. Especially if those actions are targeted against Rumple. Really, you can’t make it a fact that Rumple is less evil than Regina or Hook, or vice versa. Each one has committed villainous actions on the show, and it all comes down to which one you have a personal attachment too. So arguing which one is more justified in their actions will just go in circles.

    That…Is…TRUTH!!!!!!!!!

    I think all Evil Regals, Dearies, or Hookers have at least said this once to their favorites…..

    It could be argued that some things can’t ever be forgotten. Snow will never forget the fact that she never got to raise Emma, Emma won’t forget the fact she grew up in the system without any parents, they’ve forgiven Regina but they won’t forget it. Regina’s past misdeeds shouldn’t be whitewashed, just because she’s not going to be “punished” for them doesn’t mean she can’t feel some remorse for them.

    I don’t think this is about whitewashing or forgetting anything. But rather about atonement and forgiveness within the frames of a fairy tale. Snow hasn’t forgotten the bad things Regina did to her, but she hasn’t forgotten that Regina started off saving her life either. Emma hasn’t forgotten that Regina has saved their arses numerous times since they met – including being willing to sacrifice herself (as in 2.22). Regina will never forget Daniels’s death as she is also acutely aware of the bad things she has done. Regina does feel a lot of remorse and it haunts her in a way that makes her sometimes want to give in to her old impulses because she sees no hope. It was initially the loss of love and hope and a heavy influence from Cora and Rumple that drove Regina mad. In all likelihood she withstood the pressure for longer than Snow would have done had the roles been reversed. Because from the beginning, Regina was actually more selfless than Snow – and Snow knows it. There’s nothing black and white about this. When and where does the scorecard even begin?

    Can’t find enough flowers, or applause gifs for this one post….THANK YOU, WELL SAID, PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And back to our normally scheduled thread….discussion of the Blind Baby.

    Should we expect another pregnancy on the show after Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger)?
    HOROWITZ: Can’t say.
    KITSIS: I mean, at some point, someone is going to get knocked up. That’s just the way life works.

    Given this answer from the recent interview…I’d say high chances it’s going to be Once Upon A Time. I’m rooting for #OutlawQueenBaby!

    Either that or it’s going to be in a Flashback Episode where Regina did meet Robin, thus making the Lily being their daughter rumor true!

    Well….technically….it’s just a cruel twist of fate Regina was Marian’s murderer which is no longer active, so I really wish people will forgive and forget just as Marian has….geez, Regina’s saved her life twice! If anything Marian now owes her one, though I guess we can count Marian choosing to step aside as payment to Regina, so they’re even!

    I really strongly disagree with this. The whole sentiment that “Marian now owes Regina one” and that Marian stepping aside counts “as payment to Regina” is just plain wrong. Marian DOES NOT owe Regina anything. Regina should be making it up to Marian, and Regina saving her life twice does go some way towards that. HOWEVER, the fact that Regina originally murdered Marian still remains. Just because the characters can’t remember doesn’t mean the audience suffers from amnesia too. Regina still hooked up with the husband of one of her murder victims. Regina’s past actions shouldn’t be whitewashed and ignored just because otherwise it puts a real dampener on OQ. It’s the writers’ fault on this one. They could’ve kept Regina out of Marian’s death, had Marian come back and still be wary of Regina because of her Evil Queen status and OQ wouldn’t be as screwed up.

    Emma can’t be a possibility because as far as we know now…she hasn’t slept with Hook.

    This is true, though they don’t say how soon the character will find out they are pregnant. They could have Emma sleep with Hook in 412 and find out she’s pregnant in the later episode. They could cover the 6 week time gap within the first episode and get it up to date by the end?

    I. Ok…..first of all….Regina DIDN”T kill Marian because that was undone by the timeline! Marian NEVER died, therefore Regina is only now held accountable for imprisoning her and attempting to murder her. Regina did not know Marian was Robin Hood’s wife!

    And the mere fact, Regina has saved Marian’s life twice stands against her almost killing her. Therefore, all should be forgiven and forgotten. She saved her twice and that’s what matters most!

    Will Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) get a flashback episode?
    HOROWITZ: Oh, absolutely.

    PAGE 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m willing to absolutely bet this is the episode we’ll see exactly what happened that night in the Tavern and afterward, which no doubt someone erased. As Lana said in a past interview, someone’s basically been tearing pages out the Storybook, and I can’t wait to find out who….This will NOT force OutlawQueen because how can you force something that is fated to happen. In that case, Harry Potter killing Voldemort was forced too!

    Will Hook seek revenge on Rumple?
    KITSIS: Oh, yes.

    Well, it would seem Hook’s getting a little naughty. Season 4B is all about the villains….we may get a flashback at his absolute worst just as we got with Rumple and Regina.

    Is Henry (Jared Gilmore) going to learn any magic?
    KITSIS: Is he going to learn magic? No. But does he believe in magic? Yes.

    My biggest issue with this interview is this answer…how can Henry not learn magic!!! His mother/step-great grandmother was the Evil Queen, his bio mother is the Savior, his step-great great grandmother was the Queen of Hearts, his Aunt/step-great aunt was the Wicked Witch of the West, his great grandfather was Peter Pan, and Henry is nine times out of ten a child born of true love!!!! HOW CAN HE NOT LEARN MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Should we expect another pregnancy on the show after Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger)?
    HOROWITZ: Can’t say.
    KITSIS: I mean, at some point, someone is going to get knocked up. That’s just the way life works.

    They basically just confirmed someone’s getting pregnant…and with the Lana Parrilla Pregnancy Rumors which maybe true….I’d say Regina is definitely knocked up. And the baby, born of true love, will probably lead his/her father home!!!

    3. I think the whole OQ ship is already too messy and screwed up as it is without adding a further complication to the mix. I blame the writers on that one, if only they hadn’t made Regina Marian’s murderer.

    Emma is a possibility but I’m not overly keen on that as it is too soon. Unplanned is an angle they might want to go, and it would come with lots of drama in terms of Emma’s feelings, Henry’s reaction, etc, but still I rather this spoiler not be related to Once.

    Well….technically….it’s just a cruel twist of fate Regina was Marian’s murderer which is no longer active, so I really wish people will forgive and forget just as Marian has….geez, Regina’s saved her life twice! If anything Marian now owes her one, though I guess we can count Marian choosing to step aside as payment to Regina, so they’re even!

    Emma can’t be a possibility because as far as we know now…she hasn’t slept with Hook. Robin and Regina’s pregnant storyline would be much more interesting considering they seem to have a “lost” history that we have not seen. Also due to the fact, the Evil Queen being pregnant would most likely cause her powers to be weakened a little and we have the Queens of Darkness coming, all whose she’s trifled against before, so there’s that issue.

    I think having Regina really not able to fight the Queens of Darkness as she did Peter Pan and Zelena will force Emma to the forefront because she has nobody who can just handle this one, because Regina’s magic is weak while pregnant, and Rumple is evil, so Emma will have to just come forward and be the Savior she was born to be.

    Some new evidence!!

    An OutlawQueen Fan Pointed This Out Earlier Today!

    http://anjelia3.tumblr.com/post/105970337476/remember-when-i-told-you-those-two-cages-might

    Excerpt of The Golden Bird Story:

    <iframe id=”photoset_iframe_105970337476″ class=”photoset” style=”border: 0px currentColor; overflow: hidden; background-color: transparent;” src=”http://anjelia3.tumblr.com/post/105970337476/photoset_iframe/anjelia3/tumblr_nh1nf4eQd71qd1s6n/500/false&#8221; width=”500″ height=”521″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”></iframe>

    Remember when I told you those two cages might just be a coincidence? Well, forget about it because it was definitely a clue. The wooden and golden cages are part of the Golden Bird story (Page 23), at some point, the youngest son (Robin) needs to go into the castle to take the bird but without trying to take it out of the wooden cage and put it into the golden one, otherwise something bad will happen, unfortunately, he choose to not listen to the fox and something bad happen where the king (Leopold?) sentence him to death unless he brings him the golden horse.
    And all of this happens AFTER the youngest son (Robin) went to the shabby inn (the tavern). And this is where Regina was supposed to meet him (and page 23 proves us that they have met).
    Also, I was wondering why the page came to Robin in STM, why not Regina or Henry or whatever, but now I think the page probably came to him because this is his story, and how he met Regina. Lana told us we’ll see more of the missing pages, and it’s fair to say they’ll be all about Robin and Regina. What was written behind Page 23 was the start of the story, the beginning, so the missing pages they’ll find will be the rest of it. And I guess that’s how we’ll dig into Robin’s past (and also why OM will lead them outside of Storybrooke, to find Robin).

    Too Much To Highlight On Here, So I’ll Just Answer The Briefest Points.

    1. Marian

    Marian…Marian…Marian….first of all, we may need a flashback to see how Marian even helped Snow out in the first place. Second of all, if what everyone is saying is true about Regina just dragging Marian around until they find Snow White. That would have given enough time for word to spread to the Merry Men who could’ve carefully hatched a plan to rescue her. As you said…Marian wasn’t going anywhere till Snow was shackled…for all we know Snow could have saved Marian herself. But we’ll never know because Marian simply gave up, and said nothing. 95% of Marian’s death goes to Regina, but 5% goes to Marian for not trying to even find a way to save herself, or to prolong time enough.

    I remember in the Wonderland Musical, Alice met the Queen of Hearts who as usual declared “off with her head”. Did Alice nod her head and kept silence….nope, Alice was a quick thinker who told the Queen whatever she needed to hear to preserve her head atop of her body. That was enough time to escape.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAcKjlQ81lA 2:43

    And to be honest….Marian could never bring back the whole “You killed me thing” when Regina has saved her twice now. And if Death decides to just give up on killing Marian, I hope she finds her happy ending because she does deserve a place in Roland’s life, and she does deserve true love…just not with Robin Hood.

    2. “Free Will Be Da**ed” – Regina (4×08 Smash The Mirror)

    Although Regina DID become the Evil Queen…we mustn’t forget who INFLUENCED/PUSHED her toward that place in the first place. Yes, she pulled the trigger, but folks…we all know who loaded the gun. As for being a pawn…in Rumple’s most infamous words from 2×05: “Now I have MY monster.”

    And since we wish to pull the learning magic card….just as Rumpelstilskin told Emma what to do, but twisted the words enough to get her to do what he knew she would end up doing, but he just made it seem like a choice…..that’s what he did to Regina! He twisted the words enough to make it seem like she had a choice, but said enough to get her to want to agree. It was no choice…it was pure manipulation.

    No one is taking away Regina’s actions because she made the choices she made once she looked in the mirror, and basically said “Here’s the Evil Queen”. But what led up to that moment in time plays a huge part in creating the Evil Queen! Regina has accepted responsibility for her actions, but she doesn’t regret them because it got her, her son. All the heartbreak, the evil, the hell she went through and caused herself…it got her Henry, and she wouldn’t change a thing about it. And to be frank, it’s how Snow White got Prince Charming, and yes….I do think Emma is a little appreciative to Regina for casting the curse because not only did it get her out of having to grow up in a land where she’d be forced to wear ballgowns and singing to birds(which is NOT Emma Swan), but it’s how Emma was able to meet Neal, and have Henry. Everyone and Everything was for Henry!

    3. Zelena

    Let’s take it all the way back to the Miller’s Daughter where Rumple’s vision specifically said Cora’s first born daughter….Zelena. As we saw Zelena had an instant knack for dark magic, something Regina was weak in at first, but gradually pushed herself into empowering herself with it. Regina’s knack seemed to originally have  been light magic, the strongest light magic, which was the opposite of Zelena’s strongest dark magic.

    Rumple had already started to corrupt Regina, but he wanted to see if Zelena would be able to cast his curse faster, which is why he trained her as well. However, as soon as he saw Zelena was in love with him, he dropped her to go back to his second choice thus undoing his own prophecy about the curse caster being the first born. If we really look at it…Cora screwed Regina over again because due to her giving up Zelena…Regina got Zelena’s evil fate instead of her happy ending.

    4. Emma preferring Storybrooke over Enchanted Forest

    Snow White, and even some of SB Residents who all grew up in the EF, prefers SB to EF. Especially the peasants…I know they’re happy for democracy.

    Granny: Meatloaf back home…what a (beep).
