And I think that the only reason why Jefferson and Dr. Whale were affected by the curse is because Regina wanted them to be there, because she wanted to bring Daniel back to life and to make suffer Jefferson, being so close to his daughter but without her having memories about him. That is not right. Many people misunderstood what Regina said in "The Doctor". See the scene. Archie is talking to her when Whale arrives and says that his brother was not brought by the curse. Then she says her curse only brings who is alive.

After Whale leaves, Archie says that is not true, since her father was brought. Then she says why that is a different situation "I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHALE or his brother. I brought who I wanted". It means she was able to bring dead people if she wanted. She brought HER FATHER because she wanted to, not Whale. If she says she does not care about Victor, it is clear it does not matter for her whether or not he is cursed.

Also, we have seen the curse several times. In all of them we see smoke, physical cloud of magic. It affects anyone it touches, not those who the "curse-caster" wants. She could not choose to let Geppetto, for example, or anybody, just as she could not choose to bring Jefferson or anybody.

The theory of "the curse brings EF natives no matter where they are" is not consistent and probably wrong (see Tinker Bell, Anastasia and all the mentioned in the topic). The only thing possible in order to be cursed is for the person to be in the EF and out of Cora's shield.

Victor might be there.

Jefferson might be there.

Will might be there (he left Wonderland somehow. The spin-off makes it clear. What if he left with Jefferson?) Then why did Regina have to kill Cora to prevent her from coming, why didn't she just leave her in Wonderland where the curse wouldn't affect her
