    I really hope they don’t make them brothers, with Hook or PP, but I suppose it is possible. I think one complaint people have had is slightly contrived family connections. Some are going to continue to play out naturally but tying everything back to Rumple in such a direct way gets to almost jump the shark territory (and hey they are on a boat in the ocean).

    I hope this is actually just a reshoot of the scene they already planned before, and are introducing it as a way to kickoff this third season as a thematic thing. Season 1 opens with Emma’s father. Season 2 opens with Henry’s father. Season 3 opens with Rumpel’s father. I’d love it if it ends up pointing to Oz instead of NL actually. Something that has a very long payout, nothing to do with the immediate arc at all.

    I don’t want any one else to be related to Rumple or Henry either. At this rate Henry will have to do background checks on any girl/boy he fancies to make sure they are in no way related to him.

    The one thing that is keeping me from agreeing with your last point is that if they wanted to just do a reshoot of the cut scene from Manhattan, why bring back the father in 311? Especially when 311 is probably PP’s story. It’s the end of part one of S3 and it will probably be some sort of PP’s story.

    Oh! What if Rumple’s dad, Colin, is Hook’s (Colin O’Donoghue’s) dad, too?

    Does the cut scene from “Manhattan” of little Rumple seeing his dad killed still count as canon? The story that Hook told Bae about his dad having abandoned him might still tie into Rumple’s dad having left him, but only if Rumple’s dad didn’t die before his eyes.

    I think only things actually shown during an actual episode is CANON… that allows the writers to play with the story and NOT be boxed in to the spoilers / theories we come up with.

    It makes me laugh that a man named Colin allowed his son to be called Rumplestiltskin. Rumple’s mother had better have an odd name too.

    Nonnie–our theories do not box the writers, but deleted scenes are a gray area, as often they get cut for running time not story content. So if the writers consider it happened it did in terms of continuity. Adam tweeted that if on DVD consider scene cannon. If not on DVD would not consider it to be unless confirmed again.

    Adam has said on Twitter that the cut scenes that ARE on the DVD are in fact canon. Things that are not shown on the DVD box sets remain up in the air. But I think it follows that not being on the DVD set means not canon.

    I agree. but maybe he wanted his son to really stand out, so he picked that name for him. just like how Cora named Regina, Regina because one day she would be Queen.

    Regina is still a “normal” name though, Rumplestiltskin isn’t

    that’s true. I just meant, maybe Rumple’s dad wanted his son to stand out and with a name like Rumpelstiltskin, sure he would.
