Apparently Robert Carlyle will not renew his contract on the show, and the writers said next season will have a new direction, so it seems Rumple will be leaving, how do you want his story to end? Should he die? He has been kinda badly written since he was resurrected in season 3, IMO he should have stayed dead, in season 4 he was a generic big bad, however now they are dealing with his relationship with Belle and they are being finally honest with each other, no more "I can be a better man for you", but Belle needs to accept his darkness. Plus they just introduced his mother and a new son, there's a lot going on for Rumple right now and I'm kinda excited about it, so it seems clear this might be his final season; I would like him to sacrifice his life to save his son from his destiny of becoming a villain, I just hope the writers don't copy his death in season 3, that would be repetitive. Though I still hope he returns for the series finale and maybe flashbacks. What do you think? What's gonna happen to Rumple?
