She is trapped in the death circle, I'm sorry. It's pretty clear her last episode will give a clear resolution to the character. She can totally be in SB. We are going to see SB in relationship to very specific characters. If Belle and Rumple go on a date, is Emma going to be there? No. If Snow and David take Neal on a hike through the forest, is Emma going to be there? No. If Zelena is hosting a Life After Magic Support Group, is Emma going to be there? No. Just because Emma was always everywhere when she was the main character, doesn't mean she needs to be for the specific SB scenes we will get this season. Does that suck as an explanation? Yes it does, can't argue with that. I want a resolution for Emma, she deserves one, she doesn't deserve to fade into unimportant oblivion off-screen, she is not Dopey. Why isn't she with her family? Her parents will likely show up in the season later and she isn't with them either. And please no stand in, that would be an insult to the character.

Emma is an adult woman. Why can't she simply be doing things in SB offscreen? Why must she be constantly with Snow or David or Hook or Henry? All the other residents live in SB and appear occationally when needed and no one questions that. Why should Emma be any different? And don't tell me because she is the main character, because she no longer is, that's the point of this transistion to Henry. Emma is no longer the main character.
