I saw these theories: two versions of Hook, clone of Hook, etc... Mostly all of this come from CS shippers, who just can't conceive themselves that CS won't appear so much anymore or that Hook is away of Emma. Of course you're right. He is talking about Rogers, Hook's new persona. A&E talked about it, Colin too... They also keep saying that he is the character that we know since S2.

Some "fans" will continue to play on the words, despite everything, to prove this theory. But the truth is that they just can't accept that their precious ship won't be the center of Emma & Hook's storylines anymore x) I'm pretty sure the theory was actually taken into real consideration after 1 regular set spotter reported that she found out Colin was playing "wish Hook" on set that day. Fan wishes will be fan wishes, but after that girl reported it as such, people everywhere have been holding onto it as a possibly (including non-Hook fans). And it looks like this just won't go away until the season airs, unfortunately.

A&E have straight up said that these are the originals, and have been for a while now, so I don't understand why this is even still being speculated. I can see how some of Colin's words have raised eyebrows, but it has literally been confirmed that the 3 veterans will play the originals.
