It will be interesting to see how the writers have Belle handle Mr. Gold’s plans. She’ll probably be terribly conflicted. After learning about the curse and Baelfire, she’ll probably have a natural inclination to help him. But the manner in which he goes about carrying out his plans will definiely disturb and frighten her. Hopefully, Belle will act as Mr. Gold’s conscience and will help pull him back from the brink.
I’d also like for Belle to be the little voice in the back of Mr. Gold’s head telling him to stop, slow down. 😉
