I’m not worried about Cora. There’s no way he actually loved her, so she doesn’t pose a real threat to Gold’s relationship with Belle. Just please God don’t let Regina be his daughter. The only way I could buy that theory is if he didn’t know that Regina was his daughter. After Rumpel became the Dark One, he managed to hold onto his love for Belle and Bae. So, him purposely impregnating a woman and then manipulating his own child for the curse doesn’t make sense for his character.
