Roni's bar looks amazing, WAAAY better than Granny's, it fits as this is a bigger city compared to Storybrooke. Can't wait for them to spend most of the time there.

Also, why is Regina called Roni? I mean, the other names have hidden meanings to them, like Jacinda, Crocker and Rogers, but Roni? It starts with R like Regina but I can't figure out the rest. Roni can be short for Veronica, which means "true image". While this could be played for irony, since it's not the real Regina, it also fits in Regina's character arc of finding herself and her story.

I'm a little concerned about the fact that Roni will be playing kind of the Mary Margaret to Henry's Emma. As has been discussed before on a different thread, Lana Parilla is a very, errr... ship-able actress. She tends to look good with everyone. And we really don't need that with Henry. I think very few people will be shipping Regina and Henry romantically.

But if people do it is not the fault of the writers or Lana but the fault of the shippers. Familial shippers exist in a lot of fandoms in love numbers (sideeyes Supernatual, Shadowhunters and Marvel) even when the creators definitely do not intend for it.

Also, does that count as incest Hmmmm... Genetically, I suppose not, since she is his adoptive mother and step-great-grandmother. But it's still inappropriate, lol.

I didn't say it was Lana or the writers' fault; I just meant that they're setting themselves up to get some creepy fans.
