Same here. If there was no Neal, there would no show!

I feel the same way. If it's absolutely neccessary to keep Emma and Neal separated (and I don't agree that it is), they should at least make the most of the short times they're together.

Many people forget how important he really is.

BlueDog9

Agree

Krista_N

The writers should give him a better Sl.

BlueDog9

Him and them

Krista_N

More ST scenes are a must.

BlueDog9

Yes

Krista_N

and more Neal/Henry scenes too.

MellyG14

they really do

i've been in this argument with a real life friend who ships hook with emma, and while that's fine, i've tried to explain that even if you don't ship ST, Neal is SUPER important. He's the son of the dark one, which is kind of key, and Henry's dad, which is even MORE key

I mean, i guess almost everyone in SB is family, but Neal is kind of a big deal! He's the reason for the curse, and without him we'd have no Henry.

BlueDog9

Exactly Melly

I agree and that's why it's so frustrating that he didn't get a centric episode in Neverland and that the writers are basically ignoring him.

BlueDog9

He deserved one

Krista_N

He did. It was the perfect time for it and it doesn't make sense that he didn't get one.

there was SO much they could have done with him in neverland - especially given that peter pan was is freaking GRANDPA. I mean, that's kind of relevant - it would have been great to see how he got along on the island (ya know, we know he did stuff like make the coconut fire thing, but how did he know to do that? Why? what prompted it? Surely there could have been SOME flashback to young Bae on the island with dear old grandpa?


I'm really curious to see 1) what Neal was doing all year (the lost year) and 2) was he trying to find Emma? Is that what has him "missing" now?

also ,it would be great to see what happened when he left Neverland and got to our world, and we know how he and Emma met, but more Neal Emma flashbacks would be appropriate for BOTH of their storylines. Clearly, they had this epic love, but all we got was from her stealing his stolen car, to him leaving her. Surely there was a lot in between.

I would have loved to see more of Neals past with Pan. And more scenes with Pan/Rumple/Neal/Henry!

I really hope we'll get to see what he did in the missing year. Whether he was searching for a way back to Emma or if he and Belle tried to save Rumple, I just want to see what he did and what happened to him.

You're completely right. More Emma/Neal scenes would be appropriate for both of their storylines. Tallahassee was a great episode, but IMO they should have made two episodes out of it. A lot was missing. We never got to see how they fell in love!
