I have some hopes for a non-hetero couple, just because gender-flipped roles tends to make for more interesting takes on fairy tales. I'm an Outlaw Queen-fan thru and thru, so I'm obviously not rooting for any change on that Canon, but I loved the take on Jack and the Beanstalk, and am hoping for a similar thread that evolves into an LGTB-friendly coupling. Let's be serious-- it's not like they're going to be macking out on-screen, and only two couples so far has even had any obvious reference to sex (unless you count a baby-bump, or fade-to-black moments, which I don't), and one is DEAD, so why not have a same-sex pairing?

Personally, I see all sorts of potential in Puss in Boots, The Princess and the Pea, and the Nightengale in traditional fairy tales, or possible twists on other lits, such as the three wives of Dracula, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu (which would actually be played straight, no pun intended).

I just feel sort of lopsided in introducing one LGBT character-- it feels awkward and random. I feel like they kept it open, then dropped it when they lost Jamie :(
