I absolutely loved the episode “The Outsider.” It was so wonderful to see Belle show such strong character, and my jaw dropped to the floor when she fell over the town line. I got excited for the prospect of future story development with this new situation.
And then they dropped the ball…poor Belle has had progressively less and less screentime with each episode since the incident, and it’s breaking my heart! With Gold out of town, she is getting ignored. They are working with too many narratives at once right now- I’m dying for them to get back to Belle. Emilie de Ravin is supposed to be a series regular, and so far, we have barely seen her for more than we did for her one main episode last season!
Belle is my all time favorite character going all the way back to the film’s release 21 years ago. I have used the screenname AngieBelle in her honor since I was 15. I love her courage and her love of books and relate to having everyone think you are odd. They could do so much more with her on the show!
So here’s hoping we get at least one more Belle centric episode before the season ends!
[adrotate group="5"]I’m pretty sure she’s going to be key in Rumple’s redemption story. I am baffled as to why the Charmings/Red/Leroy (who should remember her from FTL) have done pretty much nothing to protect her. Regina just waltzes right on in, and so does Greg…

Yeah, I am pretty sure too- I think we will get at least one more big Belle episode. I’m just impatient.
I was wondering about that too- don’t they have any visitation procedures at this hospital? People are just poking into her room whenever they feel like it!
Totally agree that there are way too many narratives going on right now…but just think how bad it would have been if they hadn’t shelved some of the new characters they had planned to bring in. As for Belle…I’m pretty sure it will swing back her way once Rumple returns and all the shock has worn off about Nealfire. Rumple will stop at nothing to get Belle’s memory back…she is the one person that has loved him unconditionally(she knew about Milah and still stood by him). He’ll never give up on her.
Belle needs her memory back ASAP. Ruby isn’t helping Belle by lying to her. When Belle does get her memory back, I hope she at least confronts Ruby about lying to her. Belle knows she saw magic, drugging her is not the way to handle the situation.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI think no one really knows *how* to deal with Belle, so they are just putting their trust in the hospital. Also Belle freaked out when Gold tried to explain to her about magic so I’m not sure her reaction would have been much better if Ruby *had* told her the truth. She might have thought Ruby was patronizing her.
I disagree. When Rumple tried to tell Belle about magic, the accident had just happened and everyone’s emotion were running high. When Belle asked Ruby about it, she was a lot calmer. It was Ruby trying to deny what Belle knows she saw that got Belle agitated.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixWell, what got her worked up with the cup was when Rumple started talking about magic. I wonder if her Storybrooke self believes that a delusion about magic is why she was put into the asylum.
I’m also wondering if her memories reverted to before she was released from the asylum by Jefferson, since she doesn’t even remember Gold’s name and Jefferson was very particular about that. So how much did Sneezy lose?

Yeah, it annoys me a bit that so far she seems to be a complete blank slate. I was really hoping to see the emergence of an identity. No one has even thought to ask her about her name- not even Greg. I thought she might recognize Regina but apparently she never had a proper introduction. I think her having a Storybrooke identity would make her story much more interesting.
I think that even if she would be more accepting of Ruby and the Charmings telling her the truth, they *think* that she would freak and believe they are acting in her best interest even if they aren’t. I’d also like to think that the Charmings have come visit her off camera. If you watch the immediate aftermath of the accident at the beginning of “In the Name of the Brother,” you can see Snow being very caring and comforting towards Belle.
One thing that was really nice to see in “Manhattan” is that while Belle gets very little screentime, it’s heartening to see that Rumple basically trusted her with his life in sharing with her the whereabouts of the dagger.

I have been wondering this also. Before the curse was broken SB Belle did meet Mr. Gold. It was only for a brief time, but you would think that she would have remembered something about him. Personally, if I meet someone once and then I see them again later on I may not remember their name, but I remember that I at least met them. Belle did not seem to even do facial recognition at all. Yes, she was in shock after the accident but in the hospital room she should have recognized something familiar about him.
I really want to know a lot more about her SB self. I am sure if we knew more about that persona we would get it more. Looking forward to more Belle info!!
