I am not defending Regina for that, because that is unspeakable and deplorable of her, but I can only see a specific reason she would do what she did, to him: To give herself half-love. I mean he was no Daniel to her, but someone who could provide half the love she found with Daniel. It wasn't true love, but to her I think it was something.

anyways, she is a much different person now and hopefully will never be that dark again. A few weeks ago, Adam posted Graham's death scene, and the stage directions said that Regina didn't want to kill him, but she had to to protect the Curse. We all know she feels deeply, as said by Snow, and is obvious to see considering how passionate her hatred was in the EF. I believe that she loved Graham. Maybe not in a romantic sense, I don't think she EVER moved on from Daniel until Robin, but she loved him. There would be no reason to cry over his death or regret it instantly if she didn't care for him.

And in Shadow Of The Queen, it seems very clear that the Huntsman cared for Regina, too. He looked out for her with the wolves, but she didn't listen.

I don't think she'll ever be that dark again (nor will the show, unfortunately) but I do hope they can revive him for a day in the present, like Daniel was, so that she can make amends for it. She deserves that chance, he was such a huge part of her life.

I hope there is a "Resurrection-Style" episode of OUAT where dead characters return only for a limited amount of time before dying again. Maybe it could be a two-part episode or a recurring storyline. Maybe not a whole season storyline though.
