Yeah, right now Bae is kinda yesterday’s news. There isn’t more to really say about him to fit the rest of the story. The show is not about Rumple/ Gold, Belle effects to story as well as Gold, Maleficent does the same thing to. Bae only effects one person and that’s Gold. It seems to focus in back on Regina, MM, David, Emma and Henry.
It depends on who Bae grow ups to be. Because if the Oz references are of any improtance, then I’d say Bae may be more important than you think. 😉 And on top of that, there are the theories about him being Henry’s father, so there’s still a lot to be reevaled about him. Jane Espenson said that Baelfire’s story will be very improtant in season 2. So, we will see. 😉
