Once Upon a Time: Rumplestiltskin and Belle related scoop on episode 2x16 "The Miller's Daughter" and more from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Once Upon a Time from this week's (Posted on 3/5/13) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: My son and I watch Once Upon a Time together all the time and he wanted me to ask you if they plan to ever show Goldilocks? —Estée
Ausiello: Goldilocks? No… Not Goldilocks. Another iconic young female literary character, though? Mayyybeeee…

Question: I am a huge fan of “Rumbelle” on Once Upon a Time. Do you know what is going to happen between those two once Rumple’s back from his trip to the Big Apple? —Mélodie
Ausiello: This Sunday, as Rumple lay dying, he makes a most passionate outpouring to Belle that is sure to make ‘shippers such as yourself kvell. But will it be enough to spark her memory? ”This influx of hearing who you were or are, or even thinking about what you’re supposed to be, obviously sort of goes round and round and round in your mind,” Emilie de Ravin allows. And while it might not bust open Belle’s floodgates ASAP, she says, “There’s always going to be that connection with him in a certain respect.”

Question: The chemistry between Once Upon a Time‘s Jennifer Morrison and Michael Raymond-James is amazing. What’s next for Neal and Emma? —Patti
Ausiello: In the short-term, as glimpsed in these pics? A bit of side-by-side sword-brandishing. But as for them reconnecting in more intimate ways, “It’s hard for Emma,” says cocreator Eddy Kitsis. “Their dream was Tallahassee, to just go and get regular jobs — and now he’s doing that with [fiancée Tamara]. And since Emma’s the kind of character who has a wall up around her heart, I’m not sure she wants to admit it hurts her, but we’re definitely going to see that it does. And it affects him because we know that he didn’t want to leave her. He’s in love with her. What happened [in "Manhattan"] is a situation that neither of them ever thought would happen, so now what do you do? That’s what a lot of the rest of the season’s about.”
