Now if they could not get the rights to Peter Pan and so did not get Hook, I think Gremma would have been endgame, as that was likely their Plan B. Graham and Hook are rather similar. I think they started with Graham, got the rights to Hook and so scrapped Graham (poor boy). I hate to tell you, but you have a lot of things that are factually incorrect here. Graham was always going to be killed off, Jamie (the actor) came into the role knowing he was going to be killed off in the first season. The rights to Peter Pan were not confirmed until right before the writers had their planning week for Season 2. Also, Colin was not originally a regular, he is billed as "guest" until about halfway through Season 2.
