Either Cora was already pregnant with Rumple's baby when she broke his deal and the deal breaking (or even the fact that Cora possessed no heart) turned the baby green. Cora sent the baby away disgusted and disappointed and bought a peasant baby to the palace (in secret obviously) and used the child as a cover and named her 'Regina'. Raising her to eventually become Queen.

Hence making Zelena extremely jealous of Regina, not because they are sisters but because Regina unwittingly robbed her of a childhood with her Mother and Father.

I would prefer this, than the sister route I think. Any thoughts? Is there a reason explained in the show why this couldn't work? I like this.

I don't like that I like this, but I like this. XD Interesting theory!

I just think it would give an interesting spin that we don't expect, since everyone seems to be going with the sister-route. I don't want Regina to have to destroy her own sister, and I really don't want Zelena to all of a sudden change her ways and repent, basically I want Wicked to stay Wicked.

Plus, as I am a Regina fan. I want her to be able to let go of her terrible childhood, truly repent of her evil ways and find happiness wth Robin Hood. I think knowing that Cora wasn't her Mother after all would ease something inside her and...a new storyline opens up. The search for Regina's real Mother?
