I honestly still can't imagine them doing it, even though the spoilers are pretty much pointing that way. It sounds crazy. I don't know how they could do it in a way that doesn't feel like a cheap shocker. He wouldn't even be getting a centric the entire season until maybe 5x21 - the episode he's probably dying in. I mean, he made it back from the underworld. They all just went there to prove that you CAN bring someone back from the dead. (Not that Hook would be the first person, but it's the most direct they've been with it) And I definitely don't want Regina to revert back to the Evil Queen or w/e. That doesn't make sense after an arc where they're showing her truly making amends with people from her past. It seems like a poor decision all around.

But hey, maybe rumors are just rumors and Sean Maguire isn't actually leaving the show. If Robin dies before 5x23, it disqualifies him as an option for that one TVLine blind item where they said that a show would experience a permanent death during the end of the finale.
