I'll be interested to see how Tiger Lily ties into Baby Rumple, and what sort of backgroud she will have. To be fair, we also have Milah, who has been dead for a long time, but was still "alive" in the Underworld; Pan (Malcolm), who died in Season 3, but then was still "alive" in the Underworld;  Baelfire (Neal) who was alive until the middle of Season 3; and Fendrake, who was killed earlier, but again was still "alive" in the Underworld. All 4 of them knew Rumple prior to becoming a Dark One. And Pan, Neal, and Hook were all alive in present day in 3A. We also have characters like Morriane, Hordor, and Zoso, but of course they are all dead, as far as we know, and didn't appear in the Underworld (although Zoso was technically there until he was summoned by Nimue). But yes, this will be only the second time we have 3 presently alive characters that all knew Rumple from before becoming the Dark One, which is pretty cool. Should be fun.
