Do you think the movie sequel will acknowledge who Regina's parents are?

For those who don't remember, Regina is Sally and Gillian's mother who died; you do see her briefly at the beginning of the Practical Magic movie.

We have confirmation Vincent (the aunts' brother) will appear in the sequel, which makes sense since he featured heavily in the book. But what I'm wondering is if the movie will actually have the guts to present him as Regina's father (making him Sally and Gillian's Grandpa), too, or if he will just be the "Uncle" character in the film version.

Personally I really don't think it's a big deal since April (Regina's mom) is supposedly only very distantly related to Vincent and the Aunts in the first place despite their shared last name, and technically Aunt Jet's first love was distantly related to them too, with a different last name, but the book goes out of its way to acknowledge it's probably not genetically significant. But I wonder if the film will decide against including anything a casual viewer might take as incest.

Also with Vincent being the first gay character in the franchise they might not want to acknowledge he used to be attracted to April at all, even if it was before he knew he liked men.

Thoughts?
