‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 preview: Robin Hood, Belle vs Rumple and Agnes Brucker

Once Upon a Time fans will certainly be seeing a little bit more of Sean Maguire as Robin Hood during the second half of this season four. Despite him disappearing off with Marian and his son, co-creator Adam Horowitz tells TVLine, “…And for the uber-observant fans … we’re going to shed some light on just why he might have looked different and not had a tattoo in Season 2.″ (Tom Ellis played the character in season 2)

Then there is Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Rumple, played by Robert Carlyle. Executive producer Edward Kitsis comments on in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly,  just how complicated the situation for these two could be now that Rumple has departed Storybrooke.

“That’s one of the things in the second half that we’re exploring, which is forgiveness,” Kitsis says. “Can good people make a bad decision? Can bad people make a good decision? Can you come back from the bad decisions you made and how? What he did to Belle is really atrocious and that is not going to be solved with a mixed tape and flowers.”

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Agnes Brucker of the upcoming “The Returned” has been cast to play a major role in at least a few episodes of the ABC show.
