(Which seems like a plot hole, considering Red is the Huntsman's True Love... Then again, Regina has had Daniel AND Robin, so maybe Graham had two true loves as well.) When was it established that Red was the Huntsman's true love? And did Emma kiss him before or after he started remembering? I thought it was after, though I could be wrong. I don't think Emma was his true love. The concept of a person's destined true love is something we have learned little about in the series. You can love someone but not necessarily be their true love. Robin really did love his wife Marian, but Regina ended up being his true love. Then of course there are different kinds of love.

And there very well might be a plot hole. Retcon. A writer's worst nightmare. In the canon graphic novel Shadow of the Queen, Red and the Huntsman fell in love with each other.

He kissed Emma outside of Granny's and then he had his first flashbacks.

And there's no plothole. A person can have multiple true loves. Regina had Daniel, then Robin. Robin had Marian, then Regina. And Emma confirmed in 4A that she loved Graham. "Everyone I love dies! Graham, Neal, even Walsh!" Which brings me back to my original point: Robin loved Marian, but Regina was his true love. The saying is "one true love", not "several true loves".
