The fact that Rumple is being SO secretive and so “muahahaha” villain means that it probably has nothing to do with his child. It’s just power. All season A and E have said that Rumple is self-serving and selfish. That’s how they see him now. that’s the story they are writing for him.
Yeah. I have this foreboding feeling that Rumple may be headed for a villain’s ending. When is Robert Carlyle’s contract up? It could be the actor wants out as soon as his contract is up, so he convinced the writers to go full-on dark one so Rumple can go out in one final blaze of glory.
If Bobby wants out of his contract, there is nothing ABC can really do. Bobby can buy himself out. ONCE isn’t the powerhouse it once was for ABC. We all know (pretty much) that S5 is the end. Even if Bobby had a 5 year as was reported back in S1, then getting out a year early, when ABC is already guaranteed syndication…not a big deal
