The scenes for the Past could include many of the previous people, including Neal, Milah, Pan, Marian, etc. Present and Future would be based logically on the character.

And have the "Scrooge" character be Rumple. and  (assuming Michael Raymond James is avaialable) have Neal be Marley. Ghost of Christmas Past is Blue, Christmas Present is Anton, and Ghost of Christmas Future is Killian.

I think it would work, plus Dickens is definitly classic Literature and would fit with the show's overall concept. This could also work as a plot device of sorts that finally gets Rumple to change his spots and really start being the good guy. I think i'm in love with this idea. If they could do an episode like this, plus bring back a lot of minor characters for legitmate reasons (like a bottle episode but not) then I couldn't be happier. They may not repeat that plot, but he may die as a hero for Emma. The Bosses did say in April 30th 2015 that they may have Killian play a role in bringing Emma back from the darkness with these answers: HOROWITZ: Who says she’s being brought back from the darkness? KITSIS: But he will play a role in her life.
