I don't know. The way I read the announcement is that Hook and the EQ would indeed get a joint backstory. Which I agree sounds like a break in continuity, since we know most of the story from their first encounter in "The Queen of Hearts" to the present day. unless something is happening that is causing both Hook and Regina to be more of their Darker selves in Camelot (and we already saw a glimmer of that with Regina invoking the EQ persona during her conversation with Zelena).
