ONCE UPON A TIME – Belle will be Back

If you tuned in to the most recent episode of ABC’s Once Upon a Time you’re probably wondering what’s going to happen to its slightly warped version of Belle (played by Lost’s Emilie de Ravin) from Beauty and the Beast. She has had a rough go of things: falling in love with a monster (Rumpelstiltskin in this version), rejected and tortured by her father, and winding up locked away in some kind of bunker underneath a hospital in Storybrooke. That is not a happy existence. So will we ever find out what will happen to Belle?

Zap2it reports de Ravin will appear in at least one other episode besides “Skin Deep,” which if you’re like me is practically the best news in the world. I’ll admit I wasn’t a big fan of this interpretation of Beauty in the Beast, but who can complain when you have someone as breathtaking as de Ravin? Her eyes alone are enough to melt my heart. So knowing she’ll be back and we’ll get to see the rest of her story is good news. And just how will Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin react when he realizes Regina has his true love locked up like a prisoner?

It’s too early to tell when we’ll see de Ravin back on OUaT, but just knowing she will return is enough to tide me over. I’m kind of hoping the Storybrooke princesses (Mary Margaret, Ruby, Ashley, Emma) all band together to break her out. That would be pretty cool right?
