Actually, I like the relationship that existed between Rumple and Cora. But it was unfortunately a very breif one. Though I imagine that the saw each other over the years (Rumple admited to being around when Regina was a baby), nothing more came of the relationship.

A few of other relationships that almost happened, but didn't.

1. Regina/Killian - There was a chance back in the EF before the curse, and even right after Killian and Cora arrived in SB. Could've been interesting.

2. Regina/David - Actually, I liked the dinner scene from season 1, and the scene in "The Price" where David is teaching Regina to dance is quite touching. I think in both instances, David was able to help Regina momentarily tap into her better self (even when Regina was obviously trying to lure him away from Snow in Season 1).

3. Snow/Hercules - there's always something endearing about that 'first crush'. and the relationship was portrayed very well.

4. Will/Liz - Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread, but that was also a very tragic relationship, as is generally the case with unrequited love. particularly tragic when we see that Will is utterly blind to Liz's feelings.

5. Dreamy/Nova - Ok, totally rushed, and based on magic. but that relationship still had it's nice qualities.
