They annoy me as a couple! I just don't get that vibe from them at all and think Tamara is just using him but I do quite like them individually.

I like Tamara cos she's a bad 'guy' that I really don't like!! Rumple and Regina have been the 'baddies' up til now and I love Rumps and think even Regina has good days (it's what makes her 'realistic') but I do not have a nice thought towards Tamara - and I like that!! I also love the fact we know nothing about her but I do hope that I still don't like her even when we know her back story ;)

I like Greg because he's Owen and it's about time Regina learned that there are consequences to her actions! She's never really had to answer for any of her crimes and I like the fact that now she has to accept responsibility - she created this magic-hating person due to her need for love and acceptance, and subsequent bitterness and vengence when she didn't get her own way!

IMO the writers needed to broaden the character base from just fairytale/literary people to 'real' people, since bringing SB to the real world must have had some affect somewhere. I think they wanted to inject some mystery and suspense that we couldn't predict, we can all think of classic characters they can introduce to be the 'bad guys' but introducing 'real' people totally threw us! We spent weeks trying to figure out who Greg was and are still trying to do the same to Tamara! Personally I quite like their injection into the show :)  (Think the actor playing Greg could have been better cast though, to me he just doesn't fit)
