Farerb wrote: The Peter Pan arc began before season 3 (2x17). I sorta consider that it's own arc, The Home Office arc. Especially when they weren't revealed to be working for Pan until the Season finale. In fact, Ethan Embry (Greg's actor) confirmed in an interview that his arc was originally going to be shorter, but it got extended. My theory is that they changed their initial plans for Greg and Tamara whenever they decided to pursue the Neverland arc. I think Greg really was just going to be an outsider, who just happened to enter Storybrooke. I also think Tamara really was just going to be Neal's fiancee, nor was she going to turn out to secretly be Greg's girlfriend. Once they got the ok to do Neverland, they likely just shoehorned Greg and Tamara into the Home Office plot to lead into Season 3. Also, Greg and Tamara as the entire first half of Season 3? I don't think that would have went over well, as these characters really weren't well received by the fandom in the first place. I mean, the way they quickly killed them off in the Season 3 premiere came across as "we know people didn't like these two, so let's just get rid of them."
