True Love

Is One True Love all you get?

Lana Parrilla did a nice interview for the Bell Media Upfronts recently (video embedded below) and in this good, but uncontroversial talk, had a particularly interesting thing to say. About half way through she mentioned that in Fairytale land you only get ONE love. And that is IT. This is not something which has been mentioned in the show as far as I can remember - True Love and its importance, yes; but One True Love, no.

I talked about it at length at my journal (and why it doesn't work for me) but I was wondering what other people thought of the concept. Do people in FTL only get one True Love? Or is this an actor's interpretation? If confirmed, why would anyone want to go back if they no longer have their True Love? Are most people then doomed to experience lesser forms of love? How does it even work?

the themes of parental love have been very strong throughout the series so far. On equal ground with romantic love, IMO.

I completely agree with that. They have deliberately made parental love a huge theme and major motivation on the show right down to ending the season with it. Fairytales are often all about being saved by romantic love and I really like how they've expanded on that.
