Yes, I agree. The thing is though, is that there hasn't been a casting call for him, and he is supposed to be introduced in S03e03, which they have finished filming as far as we know.

So either this casting call has been kept under wraps, they have used their network of actors and agents to find the actor and didn't need to advertise, or they plan on making EQ bisexual and have a love interest out of Ariel or Tinkerbell, despite bisexualism not being alluded to before.

Hook wouldn't make sense as he is not new and the two of them have screwed each other in a really bad way, so things will not positive betweeen them, and I don't think there is hope of reconcilation. Felix wouldn't make sense either as the character is supposed to be tween/teenager-mentally and physically (though obviously not chronologically).

A theory of mine that I am currently sticking with is that the character will not be human at the start of season 3, which is why there hasn't been a casting call for him yet. He will be some sort of animal or mystical creature, and only CGI or other special effects are needed right now. Afterall,plenty of animals and mystical creatures abound in Neverland in the original Peter Pan story. Who knows, it could the Frog Prince, or a man cursed to be dog=Tramp but is then later transformed back to a human. Or perhaps some other random mystical creature or human character.

If there has been a casting call for him and it hasn't been made public, then there is no end of possibilities.
