Things I Hate: Tamara (Once Upon a Time)

Tamara Once upon a time Sonequa Martin-Green

I didn’t have much of a liking for Tamara on Once Upon a Time.

Tamara meets Emma Swan Once upon a time Sonequa Martin-Green

We first think she’s nothing more than Neal Cassidy’s fiancee. Though that did crush any dreams for Emma Swan and Neal to get back together and make a perfect family for Henry.

Tamara and Greg Mendell Once upon a time Sonequa Martin-Green

But in truth, her real love was Greg Mendell. Who was really Owen Flynn, one of the few “outsiders” to Storybrooke. For different reasons, they both wanted to destroy magic.

Tamara shoots Neal Cassidy Once upon a time Sonequa Martin-Green

So much so that Tamara tries to kill Neal when he tries to stop her after all the truths becomes known. Everyone believes Neal was killed by her but he survived.

Tamara and Henry mills in Neverland Once upon a time Sonequa Martin-Green

Greg and Tamara take Henry by force and deliver him to the Lost Boys of Neverland. But they didn’t realize that they were just pawns. Peter Pan didn’t want to destroy magic, he wanted Henry’s heart to keep his youth/power/immortality.

Rumpelstiltskin kills Tamara Once upon a time Sonequa Martin-Green

She is found dying by an arrow and is healed by Rumpelstiltskin. The Dark One hears what she has to say, and he rips her heart out and crushes it for what she did to his son. I don’t think many fans were crying about that one.

    Tamara wasn’t any better or worse than most of the characters on that show. Why did you hate her and not Greg? What? She had the wrong skin color and gender?

    1. I made another post on Greg and he’s clearly listed on the hate side rather than the like side

      Her betraying bealfire and trying to kidnap Henry did not make me like the character very much

      Had nothing to do with skin color or gender. Well she isn’t my body type (way too skinny), she is remarkably pretty. And I do think shows should have more interracial couples
