The problem is that the writers would need to retcon that because as we know the curse didn't take Cruella, Ursula, and Ingrid back. If that was the case, then Neal and Hook could have stayed.

It's the problem with hindsight: it's 20/20.

In-show: Emma's the Savior, Henry's conceived here. (Despite Ursula and Cruella and Ingrid)

Out-of-show: Plot.
