I would still bitchslap Robin Hood for his speech to Regina, but they pulled it off rather good; the “I love you but I made my vows to that bitch” part was predictable but felt perfectly in character, given his frame of mind and his lack of a Storybrooke persona with a modern set of values. So it doesn't sound like the authors junked it in just to make up more drama. I think, that scene had more to do with the acting than the writing. Sean Maguire really sold, Robin Hood being truely conflicted and heartbroken, about his decision. This is a man who wants to keep his past in the past, but unfortunately his wife was brought back from the dead. From his speech, it seems Robin is only staying with Marian out of duty.... and not love.
