Shes really struggling now with how to move forward in life.
Its clear that he truly loves Belle, Kitis says.
As far as Rumples concerned, this is his art.
These deals and screwing people is what he did best.
Ill be the best man I can be,' Horowitz points out.
Its a very carefully chosen set of words.
But Rumples choice to deceive Belle in the name of waking her up is not surprising.
Every year people fall for him.
When he reminds you of that, they get upset.
This year will be no different.
But that doesnt mean there isnt hope for an eventual happy ending.
Its never going to be easy, and thats just the nature of what those characters are.
As for their unborn child, we will see the adult version of him again this season.
We love [Giles] and we think hes great, Horowitz says.
Yes, were going to see him again.
Kitsis adds: He wont come out 20 [years old].
Once Upon a Timeairs Sundays at 8 p.m.
