Rumbelle: After December's heartbreaking Winter finale, many Rumbelle fans are fearing that the end is near for this beauty and the beast duo — but we're pleased to announce that's not the case. Horowtiz revealed, "What I'll say about this, in all seriousness for the Rumbelle fans, is that definitely Rumple (Robert Carlyle) and Belle (Emilie de Ravin) are not over." (And we're pretty sure the entire Rumbelle fandom is now doing a happy dance.)
Kitsis continued, "It's a complicated [relationship] and I know that we're in the middle of the book, and for us we are telling a bigger story. What we loved [in the winter finale] was seeing Belle's strength. And we set up Rumple's weakness."
Although Rumple and Belle will be spending some time apart, Horowitz stressed that fans should focus on the bigger picture. "We exited the show at the mid-season finale on what you might characterize, based on my Twitter feed, as a dark chapter for the Rumbelle fans — but it's just one chapter," he said. "We’re telling a larger story and there are more chapters to come."
