Thanks, ladies. He had surgery as a kid to fix a dodgy heart valve, and now they’re gonna give him a shiny new one.

I’m kind of hoping that Neal returns to Storybrooke before the Neverland crew so he can spend time alone with Belle. The last he knew of her was as Lacey and that didn’t give him a good impression of her. I think they need to spend some quality time together before he jets off to rescue his son. The two of them lamenting over their fathers and how to deal with them would be make for some good television. Maybe learning about Belle’s ordeal with her father and that his dad went to his demise to rescue Henry will begin the healing process with his dad when they’re reunited.

Yes, I’m hoping they get some time alone as well. Either he finds his way back to SB on his own, or Belle somehow helps him get back. Those two seriously need to talk.

I can’t see them trying to make Mo into a more developed character given all that is already happening. Maybe one episode with a big reconciliation and then, like I said above, lots of dialogue about action happening off screen. Honestly, I wouldn’t feel cheated if I didn’t get to see much of it. I would much prefer some Belle and Grumpy adventures.

I wouldn’t really see it as them making Mo into a more developed character in his own right. More like he’s a necessary piece to the puzzle if they want to develop Belle in her own right, (which I think we’re all hopeful for, so people can stop saying she’s only there to be Rumple’s girlfriend).

PS. YES to Belle and Grumpy (Bumpy? Grelle?) adventures!

Even though Mo isn’t a central character, Belle is, so if they want to explore her character more as an individual, I think exploring her relationship with her father has to happen. Her relationship with him is relevant to the person she’s become.

Also, if she’s involved directly with Rumple and Nealfire reconciling, I’d feel it was a glaring oversight if that didn’t spark in her a desire to see her own father again. I mean, Rumple and Bae have some serious parent/child issues. Can she really advise Nealfire to forgive and reconcile without coming across as hypocritical if she doesn’t try the same with her own father at some point?

As it stands right now, as far as Belle knows, Rumple has lost his chance to reconcile with his son who everyone believes is dead in some far off world. Surely that will weigh on her mind, because she knows how desperately Rumple wanted that reunion, and how shattered he was when he lost Bae all over again. Mo has lost Belle twice as well, once in FTL, once in SB. If the similarities of the situations don’t occur to her and make her at least consider seeing her father again, I’ll likely feel the urge to reach into the screen and give her a good shake.

I have to admit, even though Mo isn’t a main or even recurring character, that I’m really want to see them reconcile. I think I may be a little more sensitive to it than most people because I just lost my dad a few months ago.

Sorry for your loss, Josephine. My dad’s having heart surgery tomorrow, so maybe that’s influencing my views somewhat as well.

Phee, I keep having the refrain “Daddy, daddy if you could only see / just how good he’s been treating me / you’d give us our blessing right now cause we are in love” repeating in my head. My goal is to get this little earworm in everyone’s head by the end of the day. 😛

This is one of those times when I wish I knew how to make fanvids. This thing could go viral and infect the whole fandom. 😉

I think it would be interesting to see them bond again – as long as he doesn’t spend the whole time convincing her to give up on Rumple. It would open doors to finding out what happened to her mother as well!

Ah good point, it would be nice to have a little backstory on Belle’s mother!

OMG the Floor is cheating on Hook?! Dunno that I can bring myself to ship Flooming. Flook is my OTP.

I’ve noticed some fans referring to his eyebrows as “ayebrows” and it cracks me up. LOL They really do have a personality all their own. 😉

Already salivating over the potential spoilers promised by that blurb. 😉

[Phee]

I’ve got Madonna’s “Papa Don’t Preach” running through my head right now and can’t get it out.

Aaaannnnd now it’s stuck in my head too! 😉

[Phee]

*points at Josephine’s post* Yep, all of that!

My hope is that with Rumbelle separated, they’ll take the opportunity to build on her character as a strong individual. If Moe sees her like that as well, it will likely be a revelation to him that she is actually very capable of making intelligent decisions for herself, (and for others, depending on what role she ends up having in SB), and is able to look after herself emotionally. He’ll no longer be able to look at her as his baby girl who doesn’t know what she’s doing when she wants to be with the dangerous guy. That new respect he could find for her could lead to them being able to reconcile.

I sense a Snowing theme:

Adam recently tweeted someone who had asked if the ep3 Snowing theme would continue, and he replied yes. Then a couple weeks later, someone else mentioned it to him again and he denied it. So who knows. But I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it does end up being another Snowing ep.

Another pic from the same guy, so figured I’d just add it to this thread.

Took this photo at Bridge Studios a minute ago; not sure what it is; some kind of walkway? #OnceUponATime #OUAT pic.twitter.com/PAUlosIQXG

So is that the Huntsman as a merman? I’d have to recaption his dialog to this: “My ability to talk to wolves is of absolutely no use under the sea!”.

LOL
