Is shipping Regina with Tink based on noticeable chemistry in a sneak peek and promo pictures of them together really that much more contrived than all the people shipping Regina with Robin Hood because they've never met and the writers said that we haven't met Regina's season three love interest yet? If you want to ship Regina with Tinker Bell, that is your prerogative. However, they are not going to become a couple. If Tinker Bell does have a girl-crush on Regina, it is one-sided.

There is a legitimate reason, a portion of the fandom ships Regina with Robin Hood. Lana said, Regina has not met her love interest, but the audience has. Also, Robin Hood  is the only recurring character to be confirmed for the second half. Why do you think the show needed to recast the character?
