Robin's only sleazy moment (as far as I'm concerned) happened in "The Snow Queen" when he slept with Regina, while he thought Marian was still alive. But considering what the other characters have done on this show, I'm at a loss at this current bashing of his character. Is it because his situation involved sex? Or is it because fans demand that he be an ideal mate for Regina 24/7, when she isn't ideal herself? Are certain fans engaging in character double standards? What is ridiculous is that Hood spent 6 weeks with Zelena/Marian and we are to believe that they never discussed their past, as you mention with the Heart of Gold episode? No way would Zelena know anything as Marian to carry on a conversation. And it is also absurd that we believe Hood/Regina as some epic couple when he resume having sex with MaLena when his heart should have been broken and it would be some time for him to heal from his breakup. What has been consistent with Hood, is that he is willing to bang whoever is close to him at the time.

He is honky dory with Regina, Marian comes back and he drops Regina the same day. Marian becomes popsicle and instead of trying to find different ways to cure Marian (he was friends with Belle who is an excellent researcher) he ignores Regina's wishes and they humped in the vault. Where the hell is Roland? lol.

Now he goes to New York, doesn't even really give a thought about Regina, humps a woman that he forgot so quickly that turned popsicle. Now he finds out that Marian is actually Zelena, the same day, he tries to get back with Regina. Out of sight out of mind. This is the most poorly conceived, horrible written romance on the show, and given its OUAT, that says a lot. Sean Maguire recently said in an interview that he was originally suppose to be in 5 episodes. 5 too many for my taste. Hood is a useless character and there is absolutely no reason he needs to be involve with the Dark Swan arc. He barely interacted with Emma and...WHERE IS ROLAND? Waste of screen time. In defense of Robin, he was in a terrible situation and it was just a bad melodrama they stuck him in. Besides, the soap opera drama, Roland is a child and kids only act for so long because they have things like school to go to, lol. So, none of it is really Robin's fault. He's just a confused guy admist horrible shenanigans.
