I have to give numbers to things to express how things look a little comical when looking at any extreme theory (death, pregnancy, OMG so long!)

Example:

Time flows differently. Let's be conservative and say 1 week in  Storybrooke = 1 year for Henry.

So, about two months (7 weeks/7 years) after leaving Emma, Regina, and Hook visit. Henry is in his 20s. Emma heads back to home, while Regina and Hook decide to stick around for a while. So, they stay for a few weeks/months with Henry = a day or two in SB Time. Then, they return home.

About two months later (10 weeks/10 years), the SB gang decide to visit Henry again. Emma says that she'll catch up with them because she has to babysit her brother or something. So, Regina and Hook visit. In less than a few hours of SB time, EF2 has been swallowed by the curse.

That would mean that Hook and Regina went to EF2 and were cursed, minutes, hours, or a day in SB time after leaving and are now in HH. Thus, the first half of the episodes have literally only been the week after "visiting" EF2 again.

Of course, that is all an example, but it really shows the lengths that people are trying to rationalize various theories when probably little to no time has passed.

It's just around Halloween, so if it's Christmas, then it's peculiar if noone in SB has budged (unless they are cursed too). I think we can rule out 2 theories:

- The theory that Hook, Regina and Rumple in Hyperion Heights are clones/duplicates of them, because the writers said these are the characters we have known for 6 years, not alternate versions.

- The theory that no one will notice Hook, Regina and Rumple are missing from Storybrooke or that little to no time has passed during season 7, because the writers said that 7x02 will be Emma's emotional curtain call which means she will exit the series in that episode. So they don't have to explain H2R's absence.
