Once Upon a Fan Interview with Adam and Eddy (NOW UP)

[Slurpeez]

RG- The pont is- Neal, Belle and everyone else THINKS Rumple is dead, dead, dead.

But that’s not really the point that RG was making. I think she was pointing out why she believes the writers won’t go there. Neal and Belle may be in mourning for Rumple, but something tells me they won’t give up hope of getting him back. As long as there’s a chance Rumple might be alive, that’s all that matters. Plus, I still think Neal and Belle would honor the memory of Rumple by not crossing that line. That is my opinion on the matter, not a fact. I just think it would be needless soap-opera drama to link Neal and Belle in a romantic way. And quite honestly, I think A&E would risk alienating a lot of Rumbelle fans even more than they already have if they did that, which seems like a bad idea quite frankly.

^yup

Also, I agree with something Slupreez and Betsy just said: why does it have to be that two people only get close in order to fall in love/hook up? Why can’t they just be friends? They can help each other through a difficult time without it leading to tacos! Or to romantic sexual love. Why can’t it just be them bonding?

Even if this were HBO, just……..no. I think it’s SO wrong and even thinking about it makes my stomach turn (that’s my personal opinion; I’m not judging anyone for thinking it could happen).   Rumbelle’s love for each other is epic and undying and that will never change even if the other really is dead…….and for me, whether they THINK the other is dead is meaningless.  Belle would dishonor her love for Gold and dishonor his memory by having a relationship with his son. Of course since I think she thinks of him as family anyway and since I don’t think she’d ever, no matter how many years pass, have another romantic relationship,  it’s moot

 

Slurpeez, agree completely about relationships….Oh and if they EVER went there with Neal and Belle? I think they’d truly anger Belle fans, Rumbelle fans and other fans who just hate that idea.  I think there would be an exodus of fans, honestly; there is nothing at all interesting about that story and worst of all, it would destroy an epic and remarkable love, tainting it permanently.

RG, yes…..and I think that will happen, though I think it sucks that they’d forget about their experiences in SB. On the other hand, I’d like to think that their hearts would remember

[RumplesGirl]

Like I said I find this converastion slightly perplexing. Never in a million years would I see A and E sitting down and going, “ok. In the year that they are away, Belle (who is in deep mourning over Rumple the man who just said that the only path he sees is with her) will fall for Neal (who is just lost the woman he loves and his child–AGAIN)! DRAMA ENSUES!” It’s like this total detraction from the story of Belle and Rumple HEA and Neal finding his happiness (however you choose that to mean)

I don’t think @rumplesgirl Adam and Eddie would actually go there. This show isn’t The Young and the Restless or my Bold and the Beautiful (Thank god).  Relationships on soaps can get twisted and really incestuous very quickly and Once hasn’t even come close to venturing that territory.  Trust me. I’ve been watching soaps since I was 12.

When we get there, I’ll be the first one to say, we got there.

[betsypaige24]

RG,  of course……that wouldn’t ever enter their minds.  It was brought up, so I responded, but yeah there are a million reasons why this would never happen.

In the meantime,  I am looking forward to Emilie’s  performances – Adam specifically mentioned how fantastic she was (she always is, but to say that they are some of her best work ever…….), so I just have a feeling she’s been given extremely emotional material to work with. I kind of think Gold’s “death” is going to change her…….not in her basic way, but I think (well I hope) that she will be more of an active participant in town life, that she will finally let loose her anger about her loss,  the fact that she and Gold never had a shot thanks to certain people, etc.. If Gold is being controlled by the WW, I want her to save him…well I want her to help him save himself.  Who knows, though, lol

I think there’s pretty good reason to think Hook’s side of things was “step-fatherly” towards Bae at least in part, despite the weak focus on this part of the story.

We first see the flashbacks of Bae and Hook between scenes of Regina sacrificing herself for Henry and he has a line “the things we do for our children” not “yours” or just “children”.   Then we see that when he didn’t know who the boy who fell in the water was,he would have treated him as a  “rare and valuable object’ and used him for survival in NL.     Had Bae been Rumpel’s son alone and not Milah’s, he would just have used him for information and then disposed of him by turning him over to Pan.  It was ONLY because Bae was Milah’s son and reminded Hook of Milah, that Hook ever wanted to help him and be a “family” to the point he’s pleading he can change for him.   Bae, however, felt lied to and used because Hook wasn’t upfront about knowing who he was, and it came across to Bae (who had strong prejudice against pirates as he’d grown up thinking his family was destroyed by one), that he shouldn’t have trusted Hook at all.   Hook could have been honest with Bae the moment he realized who he was, but who knows, Bae might have been too upset then too.  What counts is that Hook’s intentions went on this journey–> Use random boy for survival in NL–> Use Dark One’s son for  information on how to achieve revenge –> Protect Milah’s son and be a family —> Use the kid who’s rejecting me for survival in NL.  He went 360 degrees basically, back to where he started, and all because Bae rejected him.   So that’s not a “true” step-father type relationship as you don’t end those bonds so easily.  It’s not a question of whether Hook ever married Milah or not, because plenty of people form “domestic partnerships” or otherwise are together indefinitely regardless of their legal, public commitments.  The point is, Hook expressed the intention of being a family with Bae until he was rejected. Yet he might have regretted that –we don’t entirely know.  He talks about him as a “friend” and having missed him, kept his sword (probably his robe too).  The story-telling on this point was terribly vague and underdone.

Belle and Neal have no blood relationship there, but I expect Belle and Neal to be friends, but if they want to trash either of their characters, make them “darker” or “edgier” or something, guess you couldn’t rule out the writers doing something else but it just wouldn’t be a very romantic story to me so would be  something to root against, rather than for but as we’ve seen–everyone likes different things.   So there may be people who WOULD want that, but I wouldn’t.  It would feel if they did that, a kind of decision to sway audiences against Neal or Belle for some reason rather than to root for them to be together, so it would be a ‘doomed’ type of thing if they did it.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

Harleygirl is right.  Everyone thinks Rumple is dead.

I think my point is being missed here.  It’s one thing to share an opinion and say:  “I think, or I feel or I believe” because that clearly shows that it’s an individuals ideas/thoughts.  However, when sentences begin with “No, not going to happen” or “this is what Belle thinks or feels”  or “I know this is what Adam & Eddy think” then it really isn’t being open to other people’s opinions or thoughts.  None of us are authoritarians nor can we speak on Adam & Eddy’s behalf on what’s to come.

Yes, Rumbelle is TL, however, that doesn’t mean that if one half of TL ceases to exist that the other wouldn’t or couldn’t move on.   Right now, one half  believes the other half is dead & gone.

That’s true. But I don’t think Belle will move on within the span of a year–and certainly not with her TL’s son.

Not ever, IMO (I think she and Gold (or Snowing) would (on their own) live their life, but they wouldn’t move on with someone else……I firmly believe that.  Gold mourned her for 30 years and chose to forget (the curse) for 28 in large part because he couldn’t handle the grief, the pain, the sheer agony of Belle’s death.  I think  Belle would feel the same way……..

As to Neal, if this ever happened, and I think there’s a better chance that I become President, I’d become an ex-Rumbeller. and an ex-Belle fan. I could never support Belle ever again as a character and I would want better for Gold.  I think most, if not all, Rumbellers, would be absolutely disgusted.
