Beloved characters of the ABC series "Once Upon a Time" will face bigger challenges when Season 6 returns to the small screens. With Regina (Lana Parrilla) meeting a wish realm version of her deceased beau Robin Hood (Sean Maguire), she will try to take advantage of the situation to nab a chance at happiness.
The midseason finale of "Once Upon a Time" featured the surprising appearance of Robin Hood. Aired on Dec. 4, the wish realm version of Regina's deceased lover was enough to stop her from entering the portal that would have taken her and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) back to Storybrooke.
Given the rare opportunity to have another chance for a happy relationship, Regina will consider bringing the wish realm Robin Hood to Storybrooke. "Once Upon a Time" showrunner Edward Kitsis shared in an interview with TVLine that coming up with the said plan would be a normal reaction for Regina.
However, if Regina becomes successful in coaxing Robin Hood to join her, she will have to face the consequences of her decision. Kitsis stated, "It wouldn't be a fun show if there weren't consequences."
The showrunner did not disclose the potential problems that Regina and Robin Hood may face in the upcoming "Once Upon a Time" Season 6 episodes. However, he hinted that one of Regina's immediate challenges would be to find a way to return to Storybrooke while evading the guards who are set capture her.
