Dear God, not Donald. Pretty sure that name has been ruined for all eternity. 

I agree. We need to remember that Belle is young -...

That young? Huh, I don’t really know. I mean, it tracks with her, uh, “marital state” (engaged, but not married), but I have a really hard time believing anything under 25 from the actress. Not in a bad way, mind! It’s just... that is the facial structure of a grown woman with no residual teenage-ness whatsoever. I get that in TV you have to suspend your disbelief over such things on occasion, but considering the whole love story... eh. *shrugs* I suppose it just makes me more comfortable. After all, you can be inexperienced with love at any age, as long as you didn’t have the opportunity before.

I definitely agree on the rest, though. (And I have seen that deleted scene; personal space and Rumplestiltskin are not the best of friends, I think *g*) I also think that she’s looking for an excuse to ignore her own feelings, because... well, like we both said: it’s terrifying. Being loved is scary. Being loved by someone who gleefully lets people think of him as inhuman and who told you he hasn’t loved anyone or anything in a long time... yeah, you can’t blame her for running.

And in the end, she did come back. Because it was the brave thing to do.

(It is now 2am and Sieben is still overanalysing fiction. In my defence, though, it’s a really easy episode to overanalyse *g*)

Look what I GOT GIRLS ,MERRY CHRISMAS TO YOU ALL !!!😄😄😄:

I’m so jealous...

Okay, I used to live in Carlisle, which is a border town in England relatively near to Glasgow, and so I used to go on nights out there and had a wonderful time (Glaswegians are awesome) but that was some time ago (like two decades) so I don’t remember much about the city.

I went to Edinburgh last year and I LOVED it.  Such a beautiful city, and filled with the most wonderful people.  Everyone was so polite!  I recommend going to Edinburgh Castle and getting the audio guide.  You’ll need at least 3 hours for that, probably 4.  After we’d spent hours walking around we were pretty tired (Edinburgh is very hilly) so we spent the rest of the day chilling out in teashops and restaurants.  

Hey :).  So it’s really hard for me to tell exactly how this is going to work its way out, but I do have my own theory on about how it’s going to go.  But keep in mind it is all just my opinion and I could be wrong.  But doesn’t hurt to speculate :).

I think Rumbelle leave town with Gideon after his first birthday and they go to travel different realms.  Along the way Gideon grows up (if he doesn’t end up separated from them -- which I doubt he will, and adult!Gideon isn’t just a vision) and possibly Alice too, if they end up having another child and Alice ends up their daughter (which I still feel will be the case).  Either way, Gideon ages up and because of that, so does Belle.  Because I just don’t see her doing anti-aging spells or anything, and if Gideon ages then she would have to as well.  Rumple doesn’t because he’s still cursed.

After all that, but before Rumple goes off to EF2 to help Henry,  Rumbelle possibly manage to break his curse by either TLK or other means.  Because I still think that could be the reason for him looking normal but dressed up in EF2 garb.  So they (possibly) do some curse breaking, and THEN he has to leave to go help Henry.  He has Belle and Gideon stay behind and goes alone to EF2, where eventually he’ll be swept up in Tremaine’s curse along with everyone else.

And I think that is all we are going to see of Belle and Gideon.  Their goodbyes with Rumple before he leaves.  To get to the meat of your question that TV Line answered,  I think it is ambiguous.  They are only half way through writing the season.  No plans to have her back could just mean “not for awhile”.  It isn’t a closed off possibility like it is with JMo.  I still believe the writers could ask her back and I still believe she will at least be back for the season finale.
