This is NOT good news!

Recently, Once Upon a Time has enjoyed a ratings boost, and (if the rumors are true) producers are willing to do ANYTHING to keep those views coming!

Season finales are always pumped full of major twists and turns, BUT this is just cray. According to our source, the peeps calling the shots behind ABC's fairytale drama are planing a shocker that will practically b*tch slap the show's fans.

Here's the word on the street (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!):

"Regina is up to her old apple tricks again, setting her sights on one target in particular. Alas, things don't go according to plan (do they ever on TV?), and Henry may just end up being collateral damage. We're sure you're now asking yourselves, 'Would Once really kill him off? He's just a kid!' We'll just tell you this: Things are about to get dark."

Nooooo!! Not "kill a child" dark!

He's the only kid in the whole show; they can't kill him off!

Or can they ...? (Please don't! Not Henry!)
