Anyway, would they have made Neal a Dark One like they had done with Hook? The thing is, Neal doesn't have a dark history the way Hook did, so he wouldn't have ended up embracing it per say. He may have had abandonment issues, but he never became a villain. What would Neal's motivations even be as a Dark One? Would he merely be like Emma was, still good and trying to fight the darkness inside of him?
