Fans of an Emma and Hook relationship were happy that the pair finally kissed on the season 3 finale of Once Upon a Time but are now left wondering what’s next.
Jennifer Morrison (Emma) answered that question, kind of.
“If you had said it to me when we first started the show, I never would have anticipated it — but the reality is that he’s a very kindred spirit,” she told TVLine. “They’ve both been through similar things, they’re both survivors and they’ve both had to fight in order to literally just live. There’s also something in them where they’ll both go to great lengths to protect the people they care about — and sometimes they’ll do really bad things to do that, but they both have really good hearts, so I think they see a lot of themselves in each other.”
Emma is also seeing impressive changes in the pirate.
“This season in particular, because Hook has really fought for Emma to be true to herself and be the most powerful version of herself, he’s earned a tremendous amount of trust from her, and that’s what really makes it organic for Emma to feel vulnerable with him,” Morrison notes. “I know that in my own life, I have a strong reaction to people who empower me and say, ‘You should be yourself, even if it means making some mistakes.’ So the fact that he does that, and isn’t at all put off by that, makes it a good place to start a relationship.”
No official premiere date has been announced for season 4 but it should start in late September or sometime in October.
