Season 5 of “Once Upon a Time” will air its 12th episode on March 6 but the air date of the episode where Gaston will re-appear has yet to be disclosed. Reports also have it that shippers of ‘Rumbelle’ will also be learning the fate of the unlikely couple when Season 5 of the TV series resumes.
The midseason finale of “Once Upon a Time” showed Rumplestiltskin, also known as Mr. Gold, discovering a way to be the Dark One again, oblivious to the knowledge of Belle.
Show creator Edward Kitsis disclosed that Mr. Gold’s sincere farewell to Belle was really sincere as he wanted her to be safe from the evils of the Dark One. An opportunity to turn once again to the dark side was presented to Mr. Gold and he decided to take it.
It would appear that Gaston would return as a good guy as he will appear to be tangling with the Dark One. The plotline is giving many fans of “Once Upon a Time” a lot of excitement, prompting ABC head Paul Lee to feel confident about the show’s staying in the network for several more years.
In a recent interview, Lee threw praises to show creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis for their inventiveness and confirmed that “Once Upon a Time” has a long and bright future on the network.
