Two. Since Regina could maybe be cursed not to remember anything at all, and we would have no idea for how long, pursuing a retcon LGBT story for her character runs the risk of coming off as part of a cursed personality, not a real part of Regina. Are people who are looking for real LGBT representation going to take well to a story telling them 'well, it was just part of the curse?' If they are pursuing a sincere LGBT storyline, I think it should be fresh, and I hope it is, somebody introduced as who they are, and not this redundant 'retcon a character so they can now come out of the closet' directions that are so prelevant. I have read book series that introduce LGBT characters for who they are at the beginning, TV should do the same. Finally, I am not saying they won't do it or aren't capable of such a retcon, OUAT has pursued many questionable writing directions for me in the past, but it will turn me off if they do. Plus, as an OQ fan, I will feel so insulted that they messed that relationship up so bad that they think the resolution now is to just retcon Regina into being gay|bisexual to pass off as something 'new' for the character, whether it be with Lady Tremaine or another female character. My opinions, others may feel differently. Even though Lana voiced wanting Regina to find that happiness after having lost 2 loves, I didn't get the sense there were any immediate plans for that in s7. I always admit I could be wrong, I wouldn't know for sure, but I think Regina's focus is going to lie with Henry for awhile. And I'm fine with that. __________________

It's very rare for Alice to have an established love interest in Disney. Maybe she's the LGBT storyline.

I do think we'll meet Hook's mother. Unless she's also Lady Tremaine, I don't think she'll have a major arc like Cora, Malcolm or Fiona. Nor do I think she'll be in multiple episodes like Leopold, Eva, Ruth, old Henry, or Maurice. Now I hope her appearance serves a purpose in her child's development like Brennan or Robert instead of a check box cameo like Collette.

Right. Because no way will Killian ever be important enough, or entitled enough to the same consideration as Regina or Gold when it comes to his family background.
So over this double standard. __________________

Adam and Eddy did say the LGBT would be prominent, so it might include someone from our original cast. My first thought wasn't Regina actually but I think it could be, especially if this is going to be a long drawn out storyline as opposed to a standalone episode.

Maybe it's better Killian's mother doesn't get a big arc. Considering the writers habit of turning family members of reformed villains into villains. Regina and Gold's families were toxic. So glad Killian isn't related to any of them.
Being the black sheep seems to have saved him from the curse of regression and bad writing that befell both Regina and Gold. Choosing to side with their mothers only proved how weak they still were. __________________

I'm not opposed to an arc about Killian's mother. Just as long as the writing is able to fit it into the story to make sense. I will take it over retconning Regina's character into LGBT just so they have something 'new' to do with her.

Spoilers from set said Cinderella2's name is Jacinda.
Jacinda Tremaine. Jacinda Mills. Wonder what cursed name she goes by? __________________

I also concur with your general thoughts regarding Lady Tremaine. I don't know if she is going to be the only villain, or the main villain of s7, but it's a safe bet she will play a pretty prominent role in what Henry is experiencing. That alone makes me speculate that 'our' Regina will not sit pretty with that and she would go head to head with this person to protect him. The main focus for Lady Tremaine is likely going to be her villainous pursuits, not a romantic pairing with anybody, but that is just my speculation. At least not right now - similar to how Regina's storyline focused mostly on her feud with Snowing|Emma in the early seasons. Rumple was kind of 'the man behind the curtain' with Regina so I do wonder if this time around Lady Tremaine has a villainous 'ally' working with her. Quote:
Yes, Regina & Henry is definitely the draw|pull for me to continue watching this new rebooted season and because of that, I am willing to give these new characters|stories a chance too. Quote:
Here's the thing to remember also: if one watches the panel, the word 'prominent' never left Eddy's mouth. The question was presented that way by the host herself based off of fan curiosity|reaction online. The question of Regina's infertility either sticking or changing was the first lead in question then they asked about a prominent LGBT relationship to which Eddy just answered they planned to do it for this year. As many of us have experienced with relationships on this show in the past, we seem to read into what A&E mean way differently than what they actually end up doing on the show. __________________

Are we really supposed to believe Henry met his true love, got married, and had a child, without ever including his family in any of it?
At some point he must have brought Jacinda to Storybrooke to meet everyone. The very least introduce her to one of his mothers. __________________
