Do not get your hopes up for that, MRJ is incredibly busy with other projects. While he is on great terms with everyone on OUaT, that does not mean he would make a long-term return.

Neal's last words to Emma, were to find Tallahassee with another. It has been forshadowed since 2.06, a.k.a Tallahasee, that Hook would be Emma's love interest. Not to mention, Emma dated Neal when she was 17. She is 30 now, and a completely different person. Even if Neal did not die, he and Emma were never going to be a couple again. Their relationship represented the harsh reality of our world, amongst all the fairytale romance. When was it forshadowed that they would be together? When he was hiding under a pile of dead people he either helped killing or stood by and watched or when he made sexual comments toward her mother?
