Once Upon A Fan

Wow. This poll has proven to be one of the biggest we have ever run. Huge numbers of you not only voting but also commenting on who you think the Stranger is.

These writers certainly know how to get you fired up because it's the question everybody has been asking this week it seems. 

The results are as follows: 

1) The boy who found Emma as a baby (38.29% of the vote)

A firm choice for many of you. It does seem strange that the old newspaper clipping turned up in the same episode he arrived in.

2) Big Bad Wolf  (23.43% of the vote)

His sulky attitude plus the fact he is heading to Granny's has got some of you more than a little concerned!! Is Ruby heading for trouble?

3) Rumple's Son (21.71% of the vote)

We were left hanging over the fate of poor Baelfire at the end of 'Desperate Souls'. Is it possible that Rumple found a way to transport him to our world prior to the curse. Food for thought indeed.

4) Other (13.14% of the Vote)

You were invited to offer other possibilities and you sure did. They ranged from Robin Hood and Aladdin to Puss in Boots, Prince Eric, The Beast and even Henry's father. Though one does feel that Emma might have recognised him even after all these years given how intimate they were!

5) EQ/Regina's Son (3.43% of the vote)

We toyed with the idea of the stranger being a possible son that EQ/Regina had given away, especially if the EQ was the miller's daughter and had given away her first born to Rumple. But only a few of you felt that Regina might be about to get a big surprise.

Only time will tell, but it will be interesting in the coming weeks to see which theory was right, if any of them!

Enjoy tonight's episode Oncers. Hope to see you back at the forums for debate after it airs.
