I don't know if any of you have heard, but there are now reports floating around online that the three returning characters, Regina, Hook, and Rumple, have different names in season 7. Supposedly Regina is not called Regina any more. Her name is now Roni, or something like that. E&A keep saying that the three returning characters are the same ones that we've grown to know and love from the past 6 seasons. How can that be the case if they have different appearances (different clothing style, different hair style, etc.) and even different names now? I was hoping that at the very least they would keep their old names, in order for us to have something of the old characters to hold on to.

I'd really like to know from E&A just how Regina, Kilian, and Gold are still "the same characters" when nothing about them is the same. Not even their names. I'm hoping this supposed name change for the three returning characters is false information. Because if it's not then I'm going to be very unhappy. It's bad enough the three returning characters don't even look like themselves any more. The least they could do is leave the names that we've come to know these characters by over the past 6 years in tact. They aren't new characters, they are new cursed personas. Regina, Hook, and Rumple are still there, just under a curse. It is literally how Season 1 was.
