It was said in the premiere that Rumple doesn't survive, and I believe Adam tweeted it at some point that "We know he dies"....

I want to think that either they're shoving this idea down our throats because he doesn't die, which is what I'm leaning towards because it would be HUGE to kill off Rumplestiltskin/Gold, a hugely popular character, and it would probably harm the show, OR they're continuously shoving it down our throats because they want us to get that it WILL happen.
