Once Upon a Time's cast and creators took to Comic-Con [1] to present new details about season six (Aladdin is coming! [2]) and tease what's coming up next for our favorite characters. At one point during the panel, creator Adam Horowitz teased a little morsel that moderator Yvette Nicole Brown told audiences to remember:
"Everything that was said about the Olympian Crystal was said by Hades . . . so he's the God of the Underworld, so can we trust him? I would say in all seriousness, that's a question that I think some of our characters should and will ask . . . I would choose not to believe Hades, but we'll find out."
Later during press interviews, the creators clarified what they meant. "What we were talking about, to be perfectly clear, isn't that Robin's not dead," Horowitz said. "It's that Hades said he obliterated Robin's soul, and for us, our attitude is, well, you know, a good and pure soul like Robin's, could that really just be obliterated and destroyed? Or is that just something that a horrible villain like Hades said?"
"When I said 'I chose to believe in hope' [during the panel], what I meant was I believe that Robin Hood, his soul moved on as we saw Cora's did," Edward Kitsis continued. "So if we saw someone who is as awful as Cora can redeem herself and move on, someone as noble as Robin Hood should move on, and Hades saying that, to me, I feel like is, I don't buy it. And we're going to explore that."
Does this mean Robin's soul could return?
