The thing is, Neal doesn't have a dark history the way Hook did, so he wouldn't have ended up embracing it per say. He may have had abandonment issues, but he never became a villain. What would Neal's motivations even be as a Dark One? Would he merely be like Emma was, still good and trying to fight the darkness inside of him? I think it would be best (of course, I do XD) to have Hook still become the Dark One. Probably have Hook as DO kill N---nevermind.

If he were to become DO, I think the story would fall apart as Neal wouldn't have anyone to take vengeance upon or anything for Nimue to take advantage of. Just a little angray at Emma for doing that, but I guess they would have kept Emma as DO instead of that.
