Okay, I pag-ibig these three! They're funny, have sass and are interesting characters. I do believe that Cora loved Regina without her heart, as Adam sinabi that and he obviously knows since he is a producer. Why would he lie??
In season 1 I hated Regina and Cora so much. Like the saying goes "First impressions always count"! But in season 2 I realised I was totally wrong about them. I pag-ibig them now, Regina is my segundo paborito and Cora is my 5/6th favorite. They have such a cute relationship and even though Cora was a rubbish mother in season 1 she was a good mother in season 2. She comforted Regina, helped her when she was sad about Henry and never pushed her away. I would pag-ibig a mother like that. Regina is such a mommy's girl which is adorable too.
RUBY
In season 1 I did like Ruby, she was fun and cute. I just hated her dress sense, it didn't suit her. And all this Frankenwolf shit too, she does not like him in that way. Okay so she saved his life but how is that romantic? That just makes her a good person, which she is. And the conversation they had was a normal chat. Like that Regina and Cora chat in Manhattan. Ruby is far out of his league, she deserves someone much better, who doesn't flirt with every girl in the town. She is really bravo too. Take 2x09 for example, Ruby ran up to Regina and Gold, without any magic KNOWING they had magic to save her friends' lives, meanwhile Henry didn't even bother to check if she was okay. She ALWAYS looks after Henry for the 3 idiots. They only talk to her when they need something which annoys the shit out of me. I'm surprised they didn't just send her to Neverland to rescue Henry. Twats.
Anyway that's my little rant :)
