I'm not entirely sure if Neal was truly in love with Tamara
I believe that he at least thought he was at the time. He whined about how he needed her when he told Emma that he asked Tamara to come to Storybrooke (even though he knew it was a bad idea because...magic!).
He pressured Emma into meeting her because he felt she was going to be a part of their lives because of Henry...so even if he wasn't actually in love with her, I don't think he actually realized that until she shot him. I'd really hope he would at least want a little time to process that whole thing, even if he wasn't truly in love with her, but obviously the writers didn't think so. Or they did and it got cut for time issues, who knows?
I think the writers teased once that Greg could still be alive (like Blue) or at least not to rule it out.
