I keep going back and forth about where Lumiere will be. If it’s Young!Belle then they aren’t using a younger actress but an aged-down Emilie. But that gets tricky with actors, though Emilie looks much younger than her 30yr old self anyway. So that leads me to believe that Lumiere is probably in the Dark One’s castle in the past. Which is odd because Belle said to Rumple in Skin Deep, “I think you were lonely.”
If they wanted to show Belle in her late teens, they’d still use Emilie. Part of me really hopes that Lumiere wasn’t in the Dark Castle while Belle was there, because it’d feel like a retcon. She was supposed to be the only one there with Rumple.
I was hoping that Lumiere is seen after the current curse sends everyone back to Enchanted Forest. I would love to see Belle back in what’s left of Rumple’s rather large estate. As she cleans Rumple’s things, still mourning him, she comes across his candelabra. As Belle polishes it, and lights it, suddenly, Lumiere is released and returns to human form. He reminds Belle that Rumple loves her, and gives her the news that Rumple is alive. Lumiere tells Belle that he can help her find him.
I like this, good idea!
Lumiere couldn’t potentially be a Merry Man in present day, could he? Like, he’d been trapped in the candelabra when the Curse hit, but then he was freed and Robin found him?
