I have no interest in speculating on this anymore. It’s exhausting and every person is going to believe something different based on how they interpret the show. But this is my question: how many of you will stop watching if it is your favorite character/second favorite character? (don’t cheat and come back with “but RG!! It won’t be my favorite character!!”) Everyone knows my favorite character is officially out of the running but my second favorite character is getting a lot of “it’s him” and I find myself conflicted. I always imagine I was here for the long haul. And I probably will be. But I will be profoundly disappointed.
if my favorite, Hook, dies, I see myself watching OUAT very sporadically. hook is the reason I became a regular viewer of Once, without him my interest would wane. See the thing is I hate Rumbelle, and find no joy in SF. So having two ships I don’t enjoy watching would mean I would pass on the show.

January 22, 2014 at 4:38 am #239418PriceofMagicParticipantI think someone will have to sacrifice himself for a swap. in other words, someone will be willing to die so that Rumpelstiltskin will become undead.
there are only two people in the world who’d be willing to do that: Bae and Belle.
so maybe Bae decides to do that and Hook finds out, and because Hook loves Bae, he will take his place. I think that would be the biggest redemption for Hook, because if he just dies for Emma it would be meaningless. after hurting the floof family so many times in so many ways, it would be interesting to see him sacrifice himself for the one person that he was obsessed about killing for centuries.
I could definitely get behind Hook sacrificing himself for Bae as he would die as a true “man of honour”.
I don’t think Belle or Bae would necessarily sacrifice themselves for Rumple for the sole reason that, the pain they’re feeling now over losing him, he would have to endure the same pain over losing them. They wouldn’t do that to him.
Although that could fit storywise for Hook to do it. Neal wants to do it so that Belle can have a second chance at happiness with Rumple since she brought out the best in Rumple and Bae is grateful to her for that. Bae is all geared to do it when Hook takes his place instead so that the SwanFire family can stay together. Hook separated one family, he’s not about to stand by and let the same thing happen to another.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixJanuary 22, 2014 at 5:51 am #239421betsypaige24ParticipantI think Belle and Bae would sacrifice their lives for Gold, but he would not accept this. He made the decision to sacrifice himself tote their sake; he was ready to die and he would never want to live if it came at the expense if either of their lives. He wouldn’t allow it.
I think Adam and Eddy have written themselves into a corner. They have always said that “dead is dead” they do now how do you ever bring Gold back without turning your back on one of the tenets of the show?
It feels like they really killed Gold and Rumbelle at the same time…

I think as an immortal, Rumple is an exception to the rule “dead is dead.” His dark one persona may have finally “died” only for the mortal man to be resurrected just as the beast technically died in B&B in order for the prince to be revealed. Rumple was an immortal when he “died” and immortality might’ve shielded Rumple’s mortality when his dark one curse was “undone.” In other words, the magic protected his life but not itself.

Exactly, or his sacrifice would’ve been in vain. Rumple did not sacrifice himself to then see his loved ones die in his place. Rumple said that Baelfire was his happy ending, and he died to give him another chance at happiness. And though Belle might willingly trade her life for her beloved’s in a heart beat, Rumple would never be able to live with himself if she did this, so her sacrifice would ultimately be in vain, too. That is why I think all 3 will survive.

January 22, 2014 at 8:10 am #239433JosephineParticipantI told my dad girlfriend about the future death. She knows nothing about fandom, shipping, or all the madness going on and doesn’t even know how insane I am about the show, but she immediately said, without any input on my part, the death was Hook. She had specific reasons and it’s interesting to hear from a non-fandom perspective. I told her I thought it was going to be Neal and why and she was surprised.
The others, including Belle, she said they’d never kill off.
Keeper of Rumplestiltskin's and Neal's spears and war paint and crystal ball.

Belle or Bae sacrificing themselves so that Rumple could live would be the LAST thing Rumple would ever ask of them. And I think they both know that. Rumple’s final words to Baelfire were “live and be happy. Even if it’s not with me.” If Belle or Bae sacrificed themselves for Rumple, Rumple would just turn around and re-sacrificie himself for them.

Coconut in fire made the BF come back to life. (rolls eyes) They wrote themselves into a corner by saying dead is dead and then not sticking to it. However this is one case where I’m ok with it

Can I ask what her reason was? I’ve heard similar stories. I told my mom and her first thought was “Hook” and @CrowendWithLaurels has a friend who apparently did the same thing.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"January 22, 2014 at 8:28 am #239438CorbinParticipantIt’s a hard spoiler to figure out, based on everything we know. I’ve explained my reasons for each of the Bottom Three (Neal, Hook, and Belle), and with that said, I believe it’s Hook. Rumple told Bae that he would have a happy ending, just not with him. That should immediately exclude Neal from the running. Belle is a determined person, so she will work to find Rumple. She can’t just DIE after that!
As for Rumple’s death, let me reiterate the Golden TV Rule of Death: No Body, no Death! 😉
Keeper of Thor’s Hammer, Will Scarlet’s Genie Bottle, Emma’s Gun, Emma and Henry’s Moment at the Castle, Cora, and the infamous Family Tree!

Agreed. The storyline would go around in circles and be pretty pointless.

Yeah, I doubt they’d have Rumple tell Neal that as recently as the mid-season finale, if they were planning to kill Neal off.

Good points.
I hate this spoiler. I know I have to wait and see but I still don’t understand why *any one* has to die.
