Does anyone believe that Rumple will live beyond the season finale?
I tend to be a bit stubborn about some things. So I’m set in my headcanon that Rumple is dying at the end of the season (and they expect to fill in the loss by Naveen Andrews as Jafar in Season 5). Every post I make is colored by that belief and every theory I make is based on it. If I’m wrong I’ll be shocked but I’m really assured of my opinion. But how many of you think that Rumple actually has a chance of going into the next season and ultimately getting his happy ending?
I really think they’re pointing to not everyone gets their happy ending. And in real life people DON’T get their happy endings. But the big mistake they’re making is they made us love Rumple in season 1-3a so much that destroying his character and ripping his happy ending away from him might just ruin the show, too. I know this is going to be dismissed by some because I adore him, but there are so many who watch the show purely for Bobby Carlyle (or Lana Parilla). Yes, people proclaim all the time “I’ll never watch it since X left the show” yet the show in question goes on for years. But this show is a different animal. Every single freaking story line has Rumple at it’s core in some way, shape, or form. He’s dynamic, charismatic, and compelling. He’s not the most physically attractive person on the show, but when Bobby is on the screen eyes just go to him because of his acting ability. What is Once without the imp?
I’m digressing, but it would be interesting to hear if anyone truly believe Bobby’s not going anywhere.
