How many times, over the past few seasons, have we had theories that people thought were way out in left field but actual came to fruition? Why are we always so quick to shoot down a theory where there is nothing (canon) to prove otherwise? Isn’t everything with this show a possibility?
I’m not saying anything romantic WILL happen with Belle & Neal. What I am saying is don’t be so quick to shoot down the theory that it might. Neal is a full grown man, not a child and he will be suffering through his loss of Emma & Henry. Belle is broken and will need a shoulder to lean on. They both think Rumple is dead and will be going through tremendous grief. Wouldn’t be the first time people have turned to each other romantically for comfort. I’m more inclined to agree with Slurpez that it will be more like brother & sister but I’m not going to shut the door to K&H making it a romantic relationship. They are two wild & crazy creators and love to throw us for a loop.
Nothing is taboo with this show when it comes to relationships (other than the obvious which I won’t even mention). Anne Bancroft and a young Dustin Hoffman blew the big red X’s out of the water when they did Mrs. Robinson 46 years ago, back in ’68.
When you have two mature adults, both sharing hard losses and both having so much in common, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see finding comfort in each others’ arms.
Again, this isn’t my theory nor was I saying I believe this will happen. I was only suggesting the possibilities and saying we all need to be open to possibilities that haven’t been shut down by canon. 🙂
I really wish we’d explore more theories and look into them rather than cutting them off at the knees before they can even take flight. After all, the theories is what makes this show so enjoyable and what makes coming to this site so much fun. 🙂
