Reasoning: Rumple's mom was a red herring casting, but it could mean they are interested in showing it. Probably not, though. David will never get any reasonable focus and I don't blame them. Hook's mom is fairly irrelevant to a host of things, but is the second most likely. Robin will get anti-focus. That's how much they care. That's a pretty decent analysis. The only argument I would make is that David has already talked about what he thinks happened to his father, but we know on this show nothing is what it seems, so I wouldn't be suprised if there is more to that story, and we would get it in a flashback with a Young David. I think they purposely mentioned David's father to do the exact opposite. I mean, I'm surprised we even got to see Belle's mother, but it was brief, so I understand.

If they do a Robin backstory like they mentioned, then we may see Robin's parents. Otherwise, he's a lost cause for any character growth.
