Read this on Tumblr:
So let’s just count how many symbols of betrayal CS has
The Excalibur
Promethean fire
Camelot’s flowers
Liam’s ringThat!

From Lily Sparks:
How many times are we going to see the star of this show get lectured by a grouchy Hook about why they shouldn’t be together, family? TV history tells us the tension of any romantic couple consists of “will they or won’t they,” but usually the obstacle is not so completely, relentlessly internal. The only thing really keeping them apart at this point is Hook’s bad attitude. And also his brother’s bad attitude.

After the reveal that Hades had a romance with Zelena, I’m now 99% sure that Robin Hood is going to die in Last Rites. Hades’ being in love with Zelena might mean he’s jealous of Zelena bearing Robin’s child. What if Hades decides to claim the price of the dark magic Emma used to save Robin’s life in The Price because Hades is incredibly envious of Robin being Zelena’s baby daddy?

I know the real-life pregnancy of Emilie de Ravin drove the story development of the Rumbelle baby and that everything that followed has been a recent invention. What I meant, however, is what is the in-story motivation of the characters? Whether the pregnancy was planned or not, why didn’t Rumple ever tell Belle about this deal he made to trade away his second-born child when it could have huge implications for their marriage and would-be family? Even if they were using birth control, it fails sometimes. At the very least, Rumple ought to have confided in his wife about his past dealing when it concerns any potential future children. Didn’t they ever talk about how many kids, if any, they’d want in marraige? Usually, that is the sort of thing couples discuss before tying the knot.
Anway, the in-story reason he didn’t tell her is probably a combo of (1) his tendency to conceal all manor of things from her and (2) he thought he’d dealt with it by killing the healer. Yet, that goes back to what @RumplesGirl wrote of why a man who has concerned himself with the fine point of deals and contracts (e.g. Cinderella’s baby-trading deal in Price of Gold) would be so blindsided to think the deal wasn’t transferrable. I find it hard to excuse Rumple not only for not telling Belle about being the dark one again, but also for not telling her that important detail from his past. What kind of marriage is it really when it seems to be built on secrets and lies? Their entire marriage started with a lie, so I guess it ought to come as no surprise their baby will be born amid lies and betrayal.

Belle re-consummated their marriage under the (sadly false) belief that her husband really was the kindhearted, sweet Rumple who awoke in 5a with a pure heart, and she decided to give their marriage a second try. Despite how much he broke her heart when he was the dark one, she decided to put her trust in him again, believing he really had become a new man. Belle thought that, for the first time, he really had chosen her over power, and perhaps she even trusted him enough to start a family with the man she loves. She might have decided that the time was right because, this time, their baby really would be born of true love.
So imagine just how devastated Belle is going to be when she finds out Rumple kept this terrible secret from her again; despite pregnancy usually being a blessing to a happy marriage, just how happy will Belle be to discover that not only did Rumple lie to her by omission again, but that he traded away her baby and never bothered to tell her about it? Why on earth has Rumple never told her about this little deal he made? You’d think he’d have at least brought it up to her once he’d proposed. “Oh by the way dear, there was this deal I made to trade away my second-born child to save my first child. So, do you mind if you never can bear a child of mine?” At the very least, he could have given her a head’s up so that way she could have taken the necessary precautions not to get pregnant. Barring cheating on her, this type of betrayal is the deepest form Rumple could have committed.

These are the things we see in media all the time, and even in real life, because we are trained from a young age to believe that men being aggressive in their pursuits is okay and that women should simply accept it as a form of love. Think about this way: on the playground, we see a young boy harassing a young girl–snapping her bra, chasing her, teasing her, making fun of her, ect. What do we tell the young girl? That it means he likes her. Not that she has every right to defend her personal space, that his kind of action isn’t okay….but that it means the young boy likes her and she should go with it.
This example reminds me of the opening scene from the 2009 film He’s Just Not that Into You (starring Ginny Goodwin).

Actually Hades wanted Regina out of the Underworld so trapping her doesn’t really make sense.
Hades changed his mind at the end of 5×14 “Labor of Love”:
Hades: At first, I wanted your friends to leave. I really had such a smooth-running operation going here before they arrived, but now I’ve decided they’ve caused too much damage, so my vindictive side… Did you know I have one? It wants to punish them. So, from now on, for every soul your friends free, one of them is going to have to stay. And, Captain… you get to decide who.

Meanwhile, Snow and David hopelessly attempt to send a message from the Underworld to their son, Neal.
You mean the two month old who can’t even lift his own head?
Way to repeat their mistake of abandoning their infant, making him a de facto orphan. Great parenting choices there. And for what? *sigh* I really cannot even with those two anymore."That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it."
