Colin O'Donoghue Gives The Hollywood Reporter the Inside Scoop

Originally posted December 3, 2015-
When The Hollywood Reporter talked with Colin O'Donoghue, Captain Hook on ABC's Once Upon a Time, he told them what they should expect in Sunday's mid-season finale, as well as a look into Dark Hook's plans and motivations.

At this point in the show Hook has already "embraced the darkness," says O'Donoghue, "he knew he didn't have the willpower" to overcome it like Emma has.  He's become very angry with Emma for making him dark because of this.  It was the one thing he had asked of her.  There has been rampant speculation of fans that Hook might want to kill Emma for betraying him, but O'Donoghue says "he's more of a pissed off boyfriend than wanting Emma to die in any kind of way," but if she's going to get in his way it might be something he's willing to do "so long as he gets his revenge on Rumplestiltskin."  As for Emma and Hook's relationship (#CaptainSwan), O'Donoghue says it's a difficult thing for him to see happening, "...it's complicated," he laughs.  "Much like most of their relationship, to be honest.  It's a complicated thing."


In the mid-season finale we can expect to find out what kind of relationship Hook had with his father before he left him as a child.  We will get "a bit more of Hook's backstory in fairytale land," including Hook's previous relationship with the Evil Queen.  Hook's plan to go to the underworld turns out to be "one that all of the Dark Ones wanted to enact," which is why he gets all of the previous Dark Ones together at the end of last Sunday's episode.  Since he has embraced the darkness he really doesn't have a choice in following through with this plan, especially since he thinks it will, also, get his revenge on Rumplestiltskin.  It's what all the Dark Ones have ever wanted and that's "who he is now."

Don't miss Once Upon a Time's mid-season finale Sunday at 8pm on ABC.

    1) I wrote this post because I was really interested in what was going to happen to Hook in Once Upon a Time's mid-season finale and I found this interview with the man himself. I thought it would be a good addition to my blog to have an interview the show.
    2) At first, I had some difficulty figuring out how I was going to present the interview because all of it was interesting. In the end I decided that writing about the mid-season finale in my own words with quotes from the interview was the better choice.
    3) The purpose of this post was to get my audience to become interested in the mid-season finale so that they would want to watch it.

    Good idea to write this interview in your own words, with selected quotes that help to clarify and amplify the actual post. While it was a spoiler, I am still really excited to finally see it - I am bit behind in the series at this point, but can not wait to catch up with it. Good sense of voice in this post as well and intriguing selections of images as well.
