Yeah, about Belle...

There's a heated discussion on the Chinese forum, Baidu Tieba, about her, and it kinda struck a chord.

Honestly, why didn't the "heroes" try and assist Belle? Theoretically, if they don't do it for Rumple, then at least for their friendship, no? Looking back, Belle really has been helping the heroes gang with a lot of things - most memorable ones being helping Snow figuring out Zelena's temporal displacement spell, and alerting Storybrooke about Queen Ingrid's Shattered Sight spell - she basically is like the intel center for them, and not to mention her being the deus ex machina when Gold was about to crush Hook's heart... And as for herself, she has pretty much been dancing with Gold on her own.

Belle jumped in without a second thought when our heroes needed her assistance, so why are Emma's gang NOT helping Belle back and make an effort to try and override her Sleeping Curse? Thoughts?
