Good point.

And I don't think you could ever get Gold to be a good, respectable person so long as he is also the Dark One. I think the end result of Gold trying to be good would be a personality division, where the good person loses any control over the evil person. Ultimately, in Rumples case, the Dark one will always win, so long as Rumple is Dark one.
