Belle has mostly been in the background for 6B. Usually when a character dies on this show, they are the central focus in their final episodes or have more screentime than usual (Rumple, Hook, Robin)

Snow and Charming dying would be better. More likely Snow. Maybe Regina as her character arc is over with Zelena, Robin, transitioning to good etc etc.

Rumple dying is repetitive. But, he might pull a Snape and turn on the Black Fairy, pretending to be on her side all along, and then sacrifice himself for the group. That could possibly work.

Either way, I want a character to fall, but I also feel it wouldn't be handled well.

Maybe everyone dies? Or passes on? And Henry comes back as an adult with his daughter (who could be the young girl they casted) and tells her the story, opening the book up.

Actually the more I think of it that would be a great idea. Would Henry be aged up so Rumple and Belle could raise Gideon as a child? Age one so they can de-age another... (Giles said Rumbellers would be happy with the finale) As Hook should be in a S7, it wouldn't do to have a flash forward, unless they freeze time, and I think Andrew J. West's character films and fights The Final Battle with the others in Storybrooke, as well as the girl, who I think may be a daughter or relative of Tiger Lily's (so no flash-forward). It seems we visit Serum!Queen in the Wish Realm, perhaps finding out about the curse from Wish!Rumple (who may have been Wish!Robin in Storybrooke all along...you never know; remember his comment that he could still make Regina bleed? What if that was a previously unknown part of the curse and/or Wish!Rumple took over Wish!Robin in Storybrooke to break her heart?).

As to whether Emma dies or not...I've never been so terrified for a finale, or learning of a show's fate, so incredibly much. I mean, this is the last of "my" shows I watch with my dad, so there are sentimental reasons, but this is also possibly my favorite Network TV Drama ever. (Yes, I have categories. =P) And finales can be so tricky, particularly if it might be a series finale. You either love or hate it, really.
