> [@Paranoid\_Randroid](#): > > Have we seen Giancarlo Esposito at all this season? Is he still on the cast? I know he has a more prominent role on Revolution now. In one episode they show the name “S. Glass” next to a room in the hospital’s asylum (if you will) where Belle is kept. I’m not sure exactly which episode it was, but I think it was the season one finale, _A Land Without Magic_. (The name was briefly shown when Jefferson rescued Belle.) ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Yes, I did. Especially with Jorge Garcia on screen. And “mystery man” is Renee from _True Blood_, right? I was scratching my head for most of the show trying to figure out where I had seen him before. Yup, he was Rene, but more importantly he was Britt from Terriers. ---

I have nothing to back it up, but I like the idea of Neal being Bae. After all the show tends to economize on characters–Rumplestiltskin turns out to not only be someone who spins straw into gold, but he’s the Beast, the Crocodile, and the source of the angst that turned Jiminy into a cricket, as well as the Evil Queen’s tutor. In fact, he seems central to just about everyone’s story. What’s surprising is that he hasn’t yet appeared in a flashback of the story of Rumplestiltskin. ---

> [@Saltire](#): > > What’s surprising is that he hasn’t yet appeared in a flashback of the story of Rumplestiltskin. We have seen that backstory in that we’ve seen Rumplestiltskin spinning on several occasions, he’s interested in taking children in his deals, and Cora is pretty obviously the miller’s daughter of the tale. In Storeybrook, where many of the name are little puns on the HEAL characters, Regina and Henry’s family name is Miller. ---

> [@Saltire](#): > > You know, the [Grimm fairy tale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpelstiltskin). Oh. Yeah, I don’t think they’re doing that. They’re adapting and changing the fables as they go. > [@The\_Devil\_s\_Grandmother](#): > > We have seen that backstory in that we’ve seen Rumplestiltskin spinning on several occasions, he’s interested in taking children in his deals, and Cora is pretty obviously the miller’s daughter of the tale. In Storeybrook, where many of the name are little puns on the HEAL characters, Regina and Henry’s family name is Miller. Like that.
