I generally have no qualms with Robin Hood, whether he is being played by Sean or Tom but I do wonder what makes him so special. If he is on the show because he is Regina's "true love" let us see why she has fallen in love with him. I hate to imagine that their only connection is Tinkerbell's pixie dust. The true lack of characterization is that we know nothing about why Regina likes him and we have no idea why Robin likes Regina.

I am not Robin's biggest fan, on the show and the stories in general but we have him now and his death (if he is the one to die) will be pointless, we wont really care because he has done nothing worth missing.

I do think that Once had a great opportunity to make his history interesting, make him even more of a legend that he was already known as. I thought they were on the right page with his character when they introduced him on OUATiW but they wasted that and he only appeared in that one episode. They fobed us off with him being introduced season 1 on the main show and we saw a flicker of interesting characetristics before never seing him again till season 3 and then seeing him hide in forests and hit a flying monkey and then hiding again in the forest in the UW. We needed to have seen more of him being totally badass. We don't really know what happened between him and the Sheriff of Notingham, we don't know how he stole Marian from him, we don't know what made him such a terrible bandit to get his picture on a wanted poster especially outside his own kingdom (my head cannon is that he is from Camelot originally) nor what caused Marian to become so ill before childbirth that he needed to use magic to heal her. I would also like to know how did he and little John meet? and what caused him to form the Merry Men? So much about his history we dont know and as of now we prob wont care if we ever find out. Which is a shame.

I actually hope it is Hook who dies this season (not because I dislike Hook more, because I don't) but because we may get to see more about Robin and showcase that he actually has potential.
