XD I'm not set on her being anything... I just don't get being all swoony over their ship without actually knowing -anything- about her. It's kinda wacky. Not to mention she's only a guest star, which makes me almost positive she's not going to be portrayed in the best of ways... Emma is our heroine - why would the writers want us to root against her?

If I understand what the writers are doing (And I never do XD, but sometimes it's fun to guess) - she's a tool to get Emma to realize her love for Neal isn't dead (hinted at by Rumple in one of  TQiD sneak peeks) and for Neal to realize he needs to stay in Storybrooke to be with his son. Whoever Tamara is, I seriously doubt she's gonna hitch up her skirt, leave New York and move to Crazy Town, just because Neal asks nice - not based on her personality.
