Oh please, please, please do not let them have been married, romantically involved, childhood sweethearts, unrequited loves, secret crushes, past or future hinted attractions, or any variation there of. While I love both actors dearly and think both are the best on the show, Regina/EQ is the character I love to hate and Rumple/Gold is the character I, in a word, obsess over (in a healthy middle aged way). So the thought of the two of them together would make me want to barf. Although I will concede that they do seem to have an impeccable sense of fashion in common in both FTL and in Storybrooke. Of course Robert Carlyle looks good in a plastic apron holding a shovel in the middle of the forest . . .
