Here’s another quote from Emilie!
Emilie: βBelle will likely not try to change Rumple, but bring out the lightness in him – the part only she seems to know exists within him. She is in love with him for his tortured soul and what she sees inside him. She will be perhaps less predicatable and a little darker: the effect of living with the darker character that is Rumple.β

Very interesting quote from Emilie from an interview she gave at Comic Con.

Yes, but all of his episodes are back story and everything he does in an episode is plot device stuff like explain about the love potion or give Snow a bow so she can try to kill the queen or give Charming the ring so he can find Snow or help Cinderella get to the ball. I mean he never does anything. He just does the in between stuff or explains something to the audience so we know what is going on.
It is fine for a character to be that, but, in my opinion, it is what it is. And the character has been very static.He is centuries old and doesn’t seem to have changed much at all. And i am fine with disagreeing, but it is what it is. And no worries i find your point of view just as ridiculous.
I find it odd that you left out all of Rumpel’s actual character centric episodes and just listed a few scenes with him and other characters. You left out Skin Deep, Desperate Souls and The Return. No bias there. π
Personally, I don’t think Rumpel is a plot device. If he had zero character development or no character centric epiosdes, then he would be a simple plot device. But that’s not the case. But hey, to each their own.
Welcome Marie! Glad to have you here! π
