Interview: "Once Upon a Time" 

Devious or not, Morrison sees an attraction between Emma and Hook as a result of their characters being more alike than we might first believe. “They’re definitely kindred spirits,” Morrison stated. “They’re both thieves and they’ve come from troubled pasts and they’ve both lost a true love, so I think that there’s a lot that they recognize in each other. So there’s that camaraderie and also the combativeness of that right away.” Plus, Morrison added, Emma’s love life needs some attention. “I’m hoping that Emma has some romance in her life. It’s been a while.”
