Henry is in need of some real character development from the writers. Given how well Jared responded when he got to play the body switched Peter Pan, combined with how really lame Robbie Kay looked playing body switched Henry, the problem is not so much with the actors as it is with the character. Something needs to happen that helps to redefine Henry (maybe he just needs to "Grow Up" a little, since having a full blown teenage play a pre-teen is becoming rapidly unbelievable).

I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, putting Henry as an apprentice in Gold's shop (and probably getting some magic training as well) will provide for him to grow as a character apart from either of his Moms. Or maybe helping Regina find out more about the book, to rebuild the broken relationship than I don't think has ever fully mended from the Season 1 storyline.
