I don't see either Regina being Rumple's child or Bae being Henry's father as day time soapish...

Day time soap is evil twins popping up out of nowhere, characters who died coming back mysteriously and random cases of unexplained amnesia. Anything unbelievable or overly convenient. Regina/Rumple or Bae/Henry are both incredibly feasible. Rumple was Cora's teacher and he wasn't exactly Captain Honorable... there's a very good chance he knocked Cora up without knowing it... there's also a good chance she didn't tell him, because she intended to use it against him at some point. Bae being Neal is also quite reasonable... Someone put it perfectly when they said, he's the reason for the curse being created and Emma is the one who broke the curse. It's total balance. She's also one of the very few who've been able to stand up to Rumple - which if you think about it, is something Bae could -really- use. Is it coincidental? Sure... But maybe not - Magic and destiny are funny things, even in the real world... It could be that Bae was destined to find Emma/Emma find Bae, specifically because they were meant for each other.
