The evil twin thing did happen with David (or Charming whatever), but he was not evil. He replaced a prince that looked like him. Dr. Whale brought Daniel (stable boy) back to life in Storybrooke and Regina had to kill him. Every fairytale character had some kind of amnesia until The White Knight (or Emma) arrived in Storybrooke and saved them. So Rumpel being Regina's father is not impossible. Because now Baelfire is Henry's dad and Rumpel didn't know Emma and Neal (or Bae whatever) knew each other. I am so totally for Rumpel being father of all Evil and his children becoming bad because Neal (or Bae) was not a good person when he was with Emma. He was stealing and god knows what else. Maybe Neal (Bae) not loving Gold (Rumpel) shows he can find love in his other child he didn't know about, but kind of used and abused which is Regina. When Snow and Emma returned through the portal from FTL she absorbed all that magic Rumpel did show fatherly affection for her in that episode. Like that can be his redemption proving he has changed to Bae and show Regina a better way than magic so she doesn't become like The Dark One. He can keep her from turning into Cora her power hungry and manipulative mother. And why haven't we asked how did Cora break/hurt Gold? She kept Regina does not hurt him. Cinderella kept her child and he moved on, but not with Regina. He shows some type of attachment other than ownership. Yeah he may not have known that is his child, but he may have had an inkling until she started acting like Cora. So something else happened deeper between the two for him to see her as a threat. Love is weakness she said so maybe she found that out with Rumpel.
