Because you see Emma get her happy ending, and we know that Jennifer is only returning for one episode, a lot of fans are worried Emma is going to die. Do you want to say anything to the audience? KITSIS: Not really. There’s nothing to say. That is correct, she is coming back for an episode. Their happiness is real, and people should enjoy that. The thing is this: Right now, we’re not trying to take away the show we’ve done for six years, and we’re not trying to destroy people’s happiness right now, but we’re going to be telling a new version. But until they see that, they won’t understand what it is. So for us, we’d rather not whip people into a frenzy. I love how Eddy thinks, no one ever watched OUaT before. It is common knowledge, that Prince Charming was originally going to die, in the pilot. Is it so far-fetched that this "new" version, would not include the death of the archetypal hero?

What the writers need to understand, is the fans who wanted Emma to get her happy ending, also wanted to see her living it. A short montage, of a bright future, is not going to cut it. We saw Snow White and Prince Charming, over the course of six seasons, living a normal life. Was it too much to see that for Emma and Hook, even for just one season? Alas, the writers prefer to do a wierd time-jump, in some desperate attempt to recapture the magic of S1.

Wasn't season 6 supposed to recapture the feeling of season 1? Or was it 5B?
