Hook is not a major character in my opinion. The show and it's storyline would go on without him. All six seasons have been building to this confrontation with the Black Fairy and the only characters that are truly integral to this are Emma, Rumple, Regina and to a lesser extent Snow and David. If Emma never met Hook we would still have Emma facing the final battle with the Black Fairy. IMO any character that could be removed from the show and yet we would still end up with Emma facing the Black Fairy isn't a major character. Rumple is BF's son and was an integral part of Regina getting the Dark Curse and ensuring that Snow and David's child would be the savior, Regina casted the Dark Curse, Emma was destined to break the Dark Curse and start the Final Battle and Snow and David are the only reason why we have Emma and the only reason why Regina wanted to cast the Dark Curse to begin with. Hook played NO part in any of that.
