The Snow Queen has everyone on edge on ONCE UPON A TIME, and one of the unintended consequences of that is that Emma’s already-shaky control of her powers becomes even more unstable.
“The Snow Queen knows how to push her buttons,” ONCE UPON A TIME star Jennifer Morrison (Emma) acknowledged to reporters on set. “And so she knew [Emma] very well at a young age, but she took her memories. So she knows how to get under her skin, she knows what buttons to push to rile her up internally.”
“So very similar to how Elsa has magic that gets out of control when she’s upset…it’s as if my magic follows the same rules: when I’m riled up, when I’m in that much turmoil, when someone is pushing me that hard, things do start to get out of control, and it doesn’t become my choice to use the power,” Morrison continued. “So then I become very afraid I’m going to hurt people I care about because I feel so out of control of it…and I turn to Rumple thinking he’ll be an ally…I would rather be rid of the magic than hurt anyone I care about.”
But Rumple has his own hesitations about helping Emma try to contain — or get rid of — her magic.
“She’s savior magic [and] all magic is different,” Robert Carlyle (Rumple) pointed out. “That’s the thing in our world; savior magic is a different thing. There’s an episode that’s coming up…where he says that, ‘That savior magic won’t go quietly.’ It’s a very different thing. I don’t think he has any intentions of helping Emma in her life. Gold/Rumple, he’s very, he’s selfish, you know. He’s a selfish kind of guy and he’s addicted to the power, he’s addicted to the magic, he’s addicted to his own world. He doesn’t have a lot of time for anyone else. I think that’s what makes the character so interesting. You can hope that he’s gonna be nice, but maybe not.”
And whether Rumple ends up helping Emma or not, she’ll at least have a sympathetic ally in Elsa.
“Because [Elsa]‘s gone through it before, she kinda explains it to the other characters,” Georgina Haig (Elsa) teased. “She tries to help Emma deal with it. She’s like, ‘Look, I’ve gone through this. You don’t have to give up your magic. You need to love yourself.’ Because that’s Elsa’s biggest lesson is that she had to learn to love herself, so she tries to impart that to Emma.”
[adrotate group="5"]Yep. Sounds like Robert Carlyle really doesn’t want to see his Rumple character reformed. Not yet anyway.
I don’t think he has any intentions of helping Emma in her life. Gold/Rumple, he’s very, he’s selfish, you know.

*sigh*
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I really appreciate how up front and honest Robert is about his character. He’s selfish, he’s not really thinking about other people.
It sounds to me like Rumple needs “savior magic” to super-charge the sorcerer’s hat so that he can finally enact his goal of freeing himself from the control of the dark one dagger while maintaining his own power. All of Rumple’s beautiful hard-earned character development was undone when he got resurrected, lost his son, and was held prisoner by Zelena. 🙁

I’ve got a horrid feeling, they’re shaping Rumple up to be a Big Bad soon…..No clue…just a bad feeling. But if Rumple has to go out….I hope he doesn’t go out weak…more like the Blaze of Glory like when he killed Daddy Pan.
