Honestly, one big reason I never 100% thought Rumple was going to die and leave the show at the end of the Season is because they know losing him would be a huge risk to take. Not to mention, Bobby has a 5 year contract, so going by that logic, he’s still going to be around for at least one more Season. Yes Bobby could have tried asking to leave early, but that was all fan speculation that he wanted to leave in the first place. Some also speculated that they’re planning for Season 5 to be the final Season, so they would have taken the risk. On the contrary, Adam and Eddy recently confirmed that they don’t have a clear ending date and are planning to milk how many more episodes out of this show as they can. This is the third time they’ve cheated Rumple out of death. The first was Snow using the candle to make Cora die in Rumple’s place, the second time was Neal giving his life to resurrect Rumple from the Vault of Eternal Goo, and this time he’s spared from death by having the Apprentice transfer the darkness out of his heart. That should show how reluctant they are to lose the character.
[adrotate group="5"](which begs the question why didn’t Rumple try to suck the darkness out of himself in S4A…?)
I would assume because he didn’t want to lose his powers. He wanted to use the hat to free himself from the dagger, but he wanted to have his cake and eat it too by being able to hold onto his magic.
We don’t yet know that the hat sucking (god the things we write) takes powers. I assume Rumple does (maybe…who knows…) so you might be right.
Like mentioned before they don’t have the interest anymore to focus on character instead of plot. If they do wake and use him, it will only be in an advisory capacity on how to deal with DarkOne!Emma now.
Yes I think Bobby is going to be benched (or perhaps asked to be benched) for an amount of time in 5A
ome also speculated that they’re planning for Season 5 to be the final Season, so they would have taken the risk. On the contrary, Adam and Eddy recently confirmed that they don’t have a clear ending date and are planning to milk how many more episodes out of this show as they can.
You and I both know that even if they weren’t planning 5 seasons, that their ability to milk it isn’t exactly up to them and them alone. They might be reluctant to lose him, but they also know that Rumple’s the biggest draw on this show anymore. And if the end is nigh…
Look, all I’m saying is that those who did think he was a goner had some very legitimate points not only from an in-show story telling perspective but from an outside perspective as well

There’s something I noticed in the way the show handles death. Whenever the story hypes up the possibility of a specific character dying over a long period of time, they either avoid death or have their death reversed in some sort of fashion in the end. Not only has this happened with Rumple three times, but there was also the plotline with Charming being poisoned by dreamshade. On the other hand, those who actually die for good tend to do so without buildup from a bunch of episodes, unless they’re the Big Bad of an arc and we expect them to die just because that tends to be norm. Now you could argue that Rumple being viewed as the Big Bad of 4B should have foreshadowed an actual death, but the heart ailment shown over the past several episodes made it look too obvious.

My answer to this, instead of making a long post about how i disagree, is: Patrick Dempsey from Greys Anatomy( lead male and had a contract for another season besides this one) and by the way Paul Lee said that they expect to air Greys for many more years and that S12 is not the last, so i use this example that shows that all this Rumple and Robert Carlyle contract can be compare to Grey`s and Derek was also saved from death to many times before he actually died, In fact he was missing for some epis before dying, just saying that from what i heard and even from some interview about S5 that i saw posted on some Rumple fan( u also posted this interview here) Rumple may be missing some episodes and may even not recover and end up dying..
