Once Upon a Time has already added Meghan Ory to its lineup of season 2 regulars, and now Emilie de Ravin has been promoted to a regular as well!

Rumbelle fans should be happy to learn that de Ravin, who plays fan favourite Belle on Once Upon a Time, will be a regular in season 2. This was first reported on TV Line.

Following her release from the mental hospital in the season 1 finale, Belle reunited with Rumpelstiltskin, who proceeded to release magic into the world and restore everyone’s memories.

We are very happy that she will indeed be back on a regular basis in season 2 – although she loves Rumpel, we’re sure she won’t approve of all his choices! Maybe she’ll even prove a useful ally to Emma, Snow and Charming?
