Once Upon a Time

smg01I made a brief reference to this on FB, but decided to mention it here too, where it's easier to go into greater detail.
So, thus far, the premise of Once Upon a Time that a curse has taken away the characters' happily ever afters and banished them to Storeybrook and said curse must be broken. Presumably, the final breaking of the curse will be the final resolution for the series.
But where will the characters be once the curse is broken once and for all? Will they go back to the land of fairy tales? Will they pursue their lives in this universe (within and beyond the confines of Storeybrook)? Will they get to choose whether to remain in Storeybrook or go back to their former lives? If, say, Snow and Charming reunite here and decide to go back to the old country, can/would Emma and Henry go with them?
This is one of the things that interests me. It seems to me that ultimately the show might be about much more than ending a curse and going back to the way things were. Maybe it will also be about the choices that characters make and how they choose to write their own destinies.
Possibly I'm over thinking. But I'm extremely interested in seeing how it shakes out.
And I'm eager to see how mysterious, new-arrival writer guy affects things.
