actually, It would not surprise me if Robert and Emilie were filming on a soundstage. Their storyline, at least for now, is on a different path from the others, though it should cross back soon enough.

And a comment on "Belle-in-a-box". Getting Belle out of pandora's box is not an issue. Rumple put her in, and can get her out at any point. The box is primarily used to make carting around Belle easier, since having Belle available as soon as he finds a way to awaken her would be advantageous. Also, having Belle in a box with him makes Belle easier to protect (though, as we saw in the S5 finale, no plan is flawless). Point being, the Box is just a device Rumple is using to transport Belle around. She is not "trapped" in the box in the sense that there's no way out.
