I am so confused about the time-line for season 7 and how much time has gone by. So Belle/Rumple/Gideon spent 18 years in the real world before moving to the Edge of Realms where years there are equal to a blink in the outside world. So 18 years went by??? But Regina and Hook don't look 18 years older! So did Regina and Hook get trapped in the curse before Rumple did?
