That theory has been floating around the internet since 3x22. BUT, it is a fan based theory, and a rather far-fetched one (on the surface at least) at that. The actors are not going to buy into a lot of the fan-fiction that appears on the internet. I mean, seriously, they have a job to do, which is telling the story that the Authors want told.

So (assuming that Zelena is actually back and has been posing as Marian), when that little tidbit actually appears in the script, they are probably truly surprised. Particularly if Rebecca Mader played it correctly by keeping quiet about everything, which it appears that she did.

That also clears up a few questions regarding how Marian just SUDDENLY, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared. Also, it clears up why Ingrid's spells did not dissipate upon her death. They weren't Ingrids spells, they were Zelena's. She is the one that cast the one-way barrier on Storybrooke, and she FAKED the ice spell the second time. (heck, she might have faked the first spell, for all we know).
