That is interesting. Even if the writers didn't originally intend for it to be about a different son, they can certainly make it that way, now that his son was taken from him. It would help as well, because we are so unclear with what exactly was "undone" with Rumple the first time. Also, I have a feeling if this is the way the writers go, the "boy" will be a new character. If I remember the prophesy right, it was "a boy will lead you to him, but beware, for this boy will also be your undoing." To which Rumple originally thought "Then I'll just have to kill him." The dilemma became that the boy was Henry, his own grandson. But now the boy could be anyone, and Rumple may not even realize the prophecy is still in effect, until the boy "undoes him". Which would make for an interesting turn of events on the show, especially if this undoing rights Rumple/Gold off the show.
