There is much debate in many pages as to whether some characters are dead or alive. I am speaking of Gaston, being changed into a rose. Of Stephen and Donna being change into dolls and even the petrified gnome. They are presumed dead. But many think, and I agree that that may not be the curse. What is done with magic could definitely be undone with magic. We can safely assume that August is not dead, he just has been transformed to wood. Wouldn't he fall under that category too?

So, maybe Gaston is dead, as Belle cut him (!), but I am pretty sure Stephen and Donna aren't. Why else would Rumple want possesion of them?!

I really think, there should be a new category, but I've been trying to think of a name for it and I really haven't come up with anything. 'Characters with undecided fate' made them sound as though they were in for a trial or something.. ideas and opinions?
