If Phillip wasn't Belle's lover, then that means he isn't the Best.

I mean, he a beast, but not the Beast.

Maybe we could take it as a foreshadowing for Belle's story with Rumple Well, that logic can be applied either way lol.


 * ''Prince turned into a beast = the Beast (in the fairytale)


 * ''If Rumple wasn't a Prince, then he is not the beast.


 * ''He is a beast, but not THE beast.

See, there is no "OUaT = fairytale" logic here. OUaT has never done anything exactly like an original fairytale. Phillip is not Belle's lover as much as Rumple was not a Prince.
