First with Michael Raymond-James with Neal, now Sean Maguire with Robin. I don't think it's the actors who don't want to be part of the show anymore, I think Adam and Eddy just want the characters gone for whatever reason. I mean I get it creates drama for the other characters, but still. They specifically said in an interview that they don't kill just because of actors, they always leave a chance for the actors to return. They kill for plot. Neal's death allowed them to continue Rumple's plot and resolve the "Bae vs Hook, who gets Emma?" debate. Robin's death will likely give way for a lot of development between Zelena, Regina, and a little more best friendsy stuff between Emma and Regina as Emma feels guilty and Regina possibly blames her. Etc. Oh, that's good to know. I thought I read somewhere these two did not want to be part of Once again. In another word, they left on bad terms. Other actors and actresses who left in good terms, usually to be part of another shows, that are usually cancel, usually not killed off. Meghan Ory, Eion Bailey, and Jamie Chung left on good terms so once their shows got cancelled, we could see Ruby, August and Mulan return. They didn'the have any plot for Will Scarlet, but Michael Socha didn't left on bad terms, so they left his character still alive somewhere. But it's good to know they only kill for plot reason.

So withe Hook return via Zeus, I assume he had no need for Emma'a half heart? They never explain how they manage to fuse her heart back together in Firebird, or that she has her full heart now.
