Also remember, this character has been around for a longgg time (who knows how long really) so its not like he’s just facing a 10 year old, he’s potentially facing an evil genius who has been around for ages and just happens to look 10 (for instance).
Finding a 10 year old actor who could pull off “centuries old evil genius overlord” convincingly would be a hard task. Granted, there are many very talented child actors out there, but I reckon whoever they chose, no matter how good the actor, it would just look comical to have all of our adult heroes being scared of a kid.

So the thing is when did Rumple have contact with Peter Pan? Did he meet him as a child? We know he was an orphan raised by family and maybe the shadow visited him as a child, too.
This is one of my fave little theories at the moment, yes. As the next male back from Bae in Henry’s bloodline, I think it would make sense if he was also brought to NL as a child, and allowed to leave.
Of course, we also have the issue of the squid ink, which likely came from Ursula, who is likely in NL, because of the mermaid anvils. But even if so, I could see Rumple having dealt directly with her, and avoided going onto the land, if he’d been there as a child and was scared of going near PP.

So one thing I’m starting to wonder is: does PP really want Henry? What if wanting Henry is only a ruse to get to Rumple?
Was pondering that myself just yesterday and I like it! Maybe it’s just the Dark One’s power that PP is ultimately after, and Henry is the bait in the trap for Rumple.
Of course, we also have to remember that apparently Henry will need to die, (because Felix told Bae it was his lucky day and he’d get to live), so even if it’s the Dark One powers that PP is after, Henry must still be a vital piece to the whole process.
