Will we get to see badass Emma (Jennifer Morrison) of season 1 again? KITSIS: Absolutely. HOROWITZ: Emma is absolutely badass. KITSIS: I’ve got to be honest. I feel like Emma’s been pretty much badass for five seasons. I don’t know what season she wasn’t badass. She killed Cruella [Victoria Smurfit]! HOROWITZ: She’s a tough woman.

Is there a deeper motive for Rumple (Robert Carlyle) wanting to become the Dark One again that will be explored in 5B? KITSIS: Yes. HOROWITZ: We’re going to attempt to delve deeper into his psyche.

Will Rumple act any different with his Dark One powers now that he became a hero? HOROWITZ: Yeah, Rumple is an evolving character, so yes, he’s going to be continuing to grow and change based on all the experiences we’ve seen him go through over the course of the show.

................I think they might haven't watch the show. Rumple is the epitome of a hamster on its wheel?ball. Going far, but nowhere at all. And Emma being tough wasn't a thing in season 4 when she groveled at Hook and Regina's knees and act weirdly and obsessively needy. But I'm excited for new development. Deeper the motive, stronger the character and stronger the story!
