Kitsis and Horowitz spoke with Entertainment Weekly recently, with the publication asking a series of questions in order to tease out a few spoilers. One of the more significant answers they gave was in their discussion of Rumple and Belle.

When asked if fans of Rumple and Belle should have hope of the two characters having a happy ending, Kitsis suggested that they definitely should.

"Yes, they should have [hope] because this is a show about hope. The minute you lose hope, then nothing will happen," Kitsis said.

As for whether or not fans will see Rumple's trip to Camelot, Horowitz admitted that he "can't say" and said that they will "maybe" see Belle's mother (played by Frances O'Connor) again.

Meanwhile, when asked if Snow Queen's (Elizabeth Mitchell) curse on the Storybrooke town line would be broken at some point, Horowitz and Kitsis hinted that this would be a significant storyline.

"In the near term, it will be a big problem," Horowitz teased, while Kitsis added "We have seen that you can find Storybrooke if you have the right utensils."

The co-creators were more thrifty in their other answers, but it looks like characters will be coming together more in the second half of the season for a common cause.

Once Upon a Time returns for the second half of its fourth season on Sunday, March 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
