In a new interview with Adam and Eddy, the creators of Once Upon a Time, Colin’s character Hook is mentioned a few times:
Diane: How about Hook and that kiss! Of course fans are dying to know: Why is Hook at Emma’s doorstep and not Neal?
Adam: If you watch you’ll see why!
Eddy: All of those answers will be explained in the next 11 episodes!
Diane: But can you answer that we’ll see Hook’s character grow more?
Adam: We sure hope so—he’s not going anywhere.
Diane: Beyond love and revenge? But what about Neal? Is his character going to evolve or will he take a back seat?
Diane: And on another note: Will Hook ever get a costume change?
Adam: Eventually, but we love it. Do you really want to see him in street clothes?
Diane: In jeans and flannel?
Adam: Yeah, exactly.
Diane: I don’t, but fans have been asking about a future costume change. Although there are people who would pay good money to have that leather outfit of his.
