We don't know, and speculation is meaningless. DROP IT! further posts related to speculation on what the writers may or may not do will be deleted. So what is the point of this thread if we can't speculate on who the writers will make Papa charming's killer? Ok, a little clarification. I agree that my statement was confusing.

Speculation about who stabbed Papa Charming (or if he was even stabbed at all) is the point of this thread. That is OK.

My issue is with statements, like "The writers aren't going to acknowledge Regina killing Graham or Hook doing anything wrong..." and similarly stated comments.

First, the statement is totally off topic. What does acknowledgment of Regina or Killian have to do with Papa Charmings murder?

And second, and the main point of my warning, is that he phrasing of the statement has crossed from speculation into assertion. The statment basically asserts as fact that the writers will not take a particular action, without any room for doubt. And nobody here knows enough to assert absolutely what the writers will or will not address, or how they will address it should they choose to. And THAT is the type of inflammatory statement that needs to stop.
