Writing is one of the weakest points in this show. They basically modify the characters according to what the plot needs.

For instance, we learned from the very beginning that Regina is a very unforgiving and rancorous person. I mean, the EQ still hates Snow White for the Daniel thing.

But in 2x20 Hook, Greg and Tamara tortured her. Literally. And what was her revenge for that? Nothing. She forgot about it. So, she is  unforgiving and rancorous only when the plot needs her to be like that.

Same with the Charmings in 4B. They were OOC the whole arc because the plot needed it.

Emma had her own OOC season in 5A. She wasn't even being evil. She was just plain stupid.

And Rumple.... well, he is the worst of them all for OOC moments. In 4A he wanted to take over the world???? That is one of the biggest wft plots so far in the show. Actually, I assume he was bluffing or something.

He also tried to kill Henry at the end of season 2. Because you know, you failed with your son, so killing your son's son will fix it, yeah.... The guy was like "I haven't wronged my son enough yet"

He was also OOC at the end of season 5. He was willing to hurt Henry again, to awake Belle, only to hurt her again. It's like Belle is his punch bag, he wants her next to him just to hurt her. Dude, It's been 5 seasons, get it together already.

He has had some episodic OOC moments during the whole show, especially with Belle.
