Nevertheless, I think his deal with Cinderella was one of the last straws for Prince Charming. The latter could not condone that, and who can really blame him?
Yeah, but eventually we’re going to find out the baby taking plan was a con, Rumple’s goal being to be put into prison so he ‘d be there when the curse struck. Then perhaps instead of seeing Rumple as evil and crazy, Charming will see him as simply crazy.
IMDB lists the actress (Gabrielle Rose) as having been in only “The Shepherd.” Not that IMDB is error-free, but I ‘m pretty sure she wasn’t anywhere in the pilot or any other episode. Maybe when Snow and Charming take back the kingdom we’ll see Ruth again.
That’s a good point. Best I can figure is George decided killing Charming would suffice and then Regina interrupted that. Ruth wasn’t at the wedding or anywhere in SB as I recall. We need a piece to the story here. She’s too much a part of Charming’s character to be forgotten so easily.

In this one, I was Regina’s campaign manager and the election was only a few days off (the dream didn’t tell me who her opponent was). An underling brought me a poster he’d designed: it featured a quote from Gold about how great a mayor Regina was. I told the aide to print it immediately and cover the town with it. He said he couldn’t yet because he still had to ask Gold for permission to run the quote. “He didn’t actually say this; I just made it up.” I ordered the poster to be printed anyway. “By the time he finds out, the election will be over.”
Although I’m confident that the end of the series will prove Rumple isn’t evil…

Kiera Knightly to Josh Dallas:
Kiera was in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with Lee Aranberg who is Dreamy in Once
In for a penny, in for a pound: I couldn’t bear the hiatus any more so I wrote two fanfics, one about Rumple’s attempts to cope with the loss of Bae; the other about Gold’s attempt at the same problem: http://www.fanfiction.net/~darcyfarrow.
The weird thing is, just a short time later, after the visit to Rumple in his prison cell, Charming speaks in favor of trusting Rumple: “If you believed him about the curse then you must believe him about our child. She will be the savior.”
So we go from Rumple helping Charming and Snow reunite (and thus helping Charming save Snow’s life), to the “scourge” statement and the deception leading to imprisonment, to “believe him.” Either we’re missing some major plot points in between or Charming is showing signs of Davidness.
