    Potentially for a Beowulf episode?

    No? Rumpel as the beast Grendel, his mother seeking revenge for his death?

    “Hey, that’s a great idea!”

    “Yeah, maybe a greater focus on mythology than on pop culture would reinvigorate the show.”

    “Sorry, I don’t see the connection.” “Well, since you ask,…”

    I thought they had the Grendel on Once Upon a time in Wonderland?

    I’d forgotten that one. I think it would make for good symmetry, though. If I remember correctly, Wonderland’s Grendel episode had the name but not any of Beowulf’s other details, while it had elements of Beauty and the Beast.

    OUAT could do the Beowulf story without using the names, though I admit I like the sound of “Grendel Rumpelstiltskin”.

    He’s in a coma right now. There is nothing to suggest that he’ll be coming out of that coma anytime soon since this is a “first” in the mythos of the show and apparently in the universe of OUAT. When the plot needs him, he’ll come out of the coma and not a moment before.

    Actually, we had David in a coma as far back as the Pilot, and he woke up from his coma two episodes later.

    …because the plot needed him to. Which is exactly what I said. When the plot needs Rumple, he’ll wake up.

    If they don’t get  Gillan for Rumple’s mom, they might get Kelly Macdonald. She played the grey lady in Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows part 2. She was also in Nanny McPhee and Trainspotting.

     Are they looking specifically for a red head to play the role? I don’t see that in the description, all I see is the actress has to have a scottish accent.  Honestly I think  Kelly McDonald is a great suggestion,  and hopefully she gets the role.

    Maybe Evanna is a code name.

    For Morgan le Fay, who has many variants of her name, including Morganna.

    Yup. My thought as well. Evanna = Morganna = The Black Fairy

    No. Please no.

    Not YET ANOTHER villain that’s related to the main cast…

    I think its a given on this show. Have we ever had ONE season where the villain wasn’t related to the main cast? And I know some will say this half of season 4 was because none of the queens or the author are related to anyone but Maleficent was Lily’s mom and Lily and Emma are practically sisters. So yeah. This woman, Rumpel’s mom, is a tragic family backstory waiting to happen and those usually mean villainy.

    Does Merlin have a significant other in any stories or legends? I was wondering, what if Mama Stiltskin left Malcolm for a young Merlin… i really hope not because that’s so cliché, but it could explain how she may be alive after 3 centuries. Rump did say he could keep Belle young forever.

    Yup, exactly. And the other thing OUAT likes to do is combine multiple characters into a single one. So I could see how Morgana turns out to ALSO be Guinevere as well as Rumple’s mom. 😛

    Ah, well that’s less likely since they are looking for a Latina to play Guinevere.

    Classic OUAT Plot Twist: Gwen will be Evanna in disguise. Just look how Marian was Zelena in disguise. And Lancelot was Cora in disguise.
    See what I’m saying here? Exactly.
