In this Sunday’s ONCE UPON A TIME, Rumple’s little lie weighs on his relationship with Belle as she tries to use the dagger to get Rumple to reveal some information he’s reluctant to disclose. Unfortunately for Belle, she still doesn’t know that Rumple swapped out the real dagger with a powerless replacement.
“She still doesn’t know [the truth],” Robert Carlyle teased to reporters on set. “It’s killing him, though, because it just keeps coming up. The dagger keeps coming up. She presents it to him a couple times and he goes to take this thing and he’s thinking — he nearly does it.” And there is a real temptation for Rumple to confess all to his new bride. “Initially, he did,” Carlyle pointed out. “It only lasted seconds and he took it back again…there’s a kind of addiction thing here. He’s addicted to the dagger and this whole world. And even though he loves her and he means that and he wants to do the right thing by her, it’s really difficult to be addicted to anything.”
But while fans may be hoping that Rumple eventually does the right thing and reveals the truth to Belle, Carlyle is rooting for his character to keep indulging in his evil ways. “No, I’m really hoping he doesn’t [do the right thing],” he said. “As soon as he starts to do the right thing, the character’s finished. That’s the reason he is who he is and that’s the reason I think people like him because he is his own person.” – See more at: http://www.givememyremote.com/remote/2014/10/31/once-upon-a-time-robert-carlyle-on-rumples-lies-to-belle/#sthash.YrETrIvV.dpuf

I’m willing to bet Robert Carlyle wants Rumpelstilskin to go all out bad….no clue…just got that feeling based off that sentence. He wants Rumple to go out in Blaze of Glory….though to be honest as a Rumple fan…if he ever did go out! I hope he goes out with a bang like he did when he took down Peter Pan!

I liked Rumple – as an evil character, complex, grayish but evil. So, very much with Robert Carlyle here.
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
I enjoy Rumple being an evil little so and so, but I also want to see him grow. The way this show is structured it means they could have the best of both worlds, being bad in the past, but being shown as changing in the present. I’m sure that evil is more interesting and fun for Bobby to play, but as far as a satisfying arc for the character, staying bad forever just isn’t what I want for him.

Agreed. If he had really died at the end of 311, that would have been his perfect ending. But now…I don’t know. I don’t want him to become THE BIG EVIL when all the other villains are getting happy endings and second chances.

Rumple doing the right thing was sacrificing himself for his entire family, to give his son a second chance at happiness. That should have been his character’s ending, rather than slowly making him descend ever more into the darkness. If Rumple is never going to do the right thing again, then what did Baelfire give his life for? While I agree that Rumple continuing to do the wrong thing is part of his characterization, I still want Rumple’s final act to be redemptive. I always believed Rumple’s idea of a happy ending was having his son back, but that already came and went. Henry seems to think Rumple is currently experiencing his happy ending being married to Belle, but Rumple seems as unhappy as ever. He wants to be free of the dagger after what Zelena did to him, but he can’t confide that to his wife for some reason. I just hope that in the very end, Rumple realizes he doesn’t need to hold onto power at all, but that he could be free if he’d just allow Belle’s kiss to free him of his dark one curse.

I agree.

Um, what? Rumple has done the right thing in the past after messing things up (He let Belle go in Skin Deep, opened up to her in The Crocodile, went to Neverland to save Henry and was ready to die for him, sacrificed his life to save his family, etc), and yet the character is anything but finished..
“That’s the reason he is who he is and that’s the reason I think people like him because he is his own person.”
Yes, I do like Rumple being sneaky, and I don’t want him to become another Prince Charming. But I also like to see his better side and vulnerability. To me, it’s his complexity that makes him so interesting and likable, not the wickedness. And I do want to see him grow.

I totally agree.
