Keck's Exclusives: Once Upon a Time Loses Its Little Red to CBS
When magic came to Storybrooke at the conclusion of Once Upon a Time’s freshman season, there were high hopes for wolf-shifting Ruby (a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood) and the troubled character’s portrayer, Meghan Ory. The Canadian actress was upgraded to series regular for Season 2 and Ruby’s back story was the focus of a November episode. Who knew that would turn out to be the character’s last significant onscreen appearance? Certainly not Ory, who ultimately got her happily ever after by bolting from Storybrooke to co-star opposite Josh Holloway and Marg Helgenberger in CBS’s new sci-fi fall drama, Intelligence.So…who else died a little bit inside?
Well we have known about this for a while and the writers have mentioned doing flashback/one shot type episodes set in Storybrooke, so potentially Ruby could still appear in S3, especially since they’re both Van based.
They are so brilliant, so when they were inspired they had to follow their amazing idea for what they wanted to do with Neverland. I hadn’t been in a few episodes — my last was when everyone came back from New York — so I talked to the boys and asked them, ‘What’s going on? Is everything okay?’ And they said, ‘We love you, but we have this story that’s so huge we don’t know where we’re going to put you at this moment.’ So I said, ‘Maybe I should look elsewhere?’
I don’t know if this is cynicism on my part, but I laughed out loud at that, cos it just sounds so sarcastic. THEY’RE SO BRILLIANT! WE HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT AND THEN THEY TOOK IT IN THIS WHOLE OTHER DIRECTION.
(sigh) “Maybe guest star once a year”? I knew all of the reassurances we were getting about Ruby still having an important presence on this show were utter crap. There goes any hope of a satisfying resolution to her werewolf storyline or a Frankenwolf romance.
I’M GOING TO CURL UP IN A CORNER AND CRY AND I SHALL HOPEFULLY DIE.
What’s really killing me is how hurt she clearly was to be shoved to the side and not even included in the finale. Apparently if you’re not a Charmplemills or a love interest for Emma you’re dispensable. With the way they’ve treated her and David this year it’s realllllyyyy hard for me to have a lot of respect for the creators anymore.

The Dark One and Peter Pan: A theory
Let’s talk about Peter Pan.
We’ve seen Lost Boys. We’ve seen Captain Hook and his crew. But what we haven’t seen is Peter Pan. What we have seen is a shadow that retrieves boys in the hopes of finding one very special boy — Henry Mills. We don’t know why he’s so special (I suspect it’s his lineage, but that’s not important right now), but we know one fact: Peter Pan wants him.
But why would someone so obviously powerful send boys to do this task for him? Unless he can’t see or be seen. Unless he’s a shadow of his former self — literally. But a shadow needs a body. And just like organ transplants, you need a good match to make sure it takes. Henry is that match.
So what happened to Peter Pan’s original body?
The thing is, we know someone with the kind of immortality that’s natural to the inhabitants of Neverland. Someone who is very powerful. Someone whose magic didn’t belong in the realm they settled in. That person is the Dark One.
We know for a fact the Dark One didn’t come from the Enchanted Forest originally. Why not Neverland? It all makes sense: the body of Peter Pan separates from his shadow to keep the locals in line while he goes off to another land to have a little adventure (because if his shadow is capable of traveling between realms, his body certainly can). Unfortunately for him, he runs into a little trouble and gets killed by a magical dagger that passes his powers on to the person who killed him. He doesn’t mind: after all, death is an awfully big adventure. His shadow, on the other hand, does mind. It’s only a half-thing without a body, and having it’s power split between its shadow-self and a body that isn’t a good match is draining it.
The shadow needs to be attached to a new body. It needs to be attached to the right body. And once it’s attached, the Dark One won’t be able to draw power from its power source any more. “The boy will be [his] undoing,” after all.
(This also appeals to me on another level: It means that if the Dark One is part of Peter Pan, that makes Rumpelstiltskin cutting off Hook’s hand akin to Peter Pan cutting off Hook’s hand. Just like in the other versions of the story.)
