Once Upon a Time - Wicked Is Coming!

Once Upon A Time - Episode 3.15 - Title Revealed

Once Upon a Time - Episode 3.14 - Title Revealed

  

Spoilers!!!!

I think I remember a reference to my fave Disney princess, Jasmine, showing up on either Once Upon a Time or Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. But with so much Jafar and Agrabah in Wonderland, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll see Aladdin on either show. –Audrey
Not sure where you saw said “reference,” but delete that bookmark, pronto. Presented with the idea of Jasmine or Aladdin showing up on either Once series any time soon, EP Eddy Kitsis assured me, “That is not true.” So don’t pack your bags for Vancouver just yet, Azita and Sendhil!

Would you know what the Wicked Witch’s name is on Once Upon a Time? There’s some speculation that it’s Elphaba (from the Wicked musical) while others think it’s Theodora (from the Disney-owned Oz, The Great and Powerful). Also, It seems that all the major villains in the show so far are related to Henry. Will the Wicked Witch be related to him as well? –Natalie
As a matter of fact, I address both those questions, my pretty, in the upcoming installment of Spoiler Alert!, posting Saturday.

George: In desperate need of OUAT scoop, especially anything on the spin they'll be putting on The Wizard of Oz!

Pack your bags 'cause we're hitting the yellow brick road. Sources tell us the show is actually going to Oz. Producers are in the process of figuring out what they can and can't use, based on what comes from the books, the movie or the Broadway musical. Most of what we see will be taken from the books, like the flying monkeys!

Question: Belle is one of my favorites on Once Upon A Time and I’m really disappointed in how little we’ve seen of her in the first half of Season 3. Please tell me she’ll have a bigger role in the second half! Will she at least have her own -centric episode? —Tara
Ausiello: I’m going to venture yes on getting a new Belle flashback, seeing as for Episode 15 the show is casting an “uppity,” “know-it-all” servant who must, repeat must, have a French accent. The character also is named “Lawrence,” which, I must observe, starts with the same letter as “Lumiere.”

Question: Two Once Upon a Time questions, pretty please! Rumple can’t really be dead, right? And is the Wicked Witch really the Black Fairy? –Ashley
Ausiello: Second things first: Sources say it’s unlikely that Rebecca Mader’s iconic villainess is also the Black Fairy who got name-checked in the midseason finale. As for Rumplestiltskin’s fate, I’ll remind you of what the Once creators told us a few weeks back, as they measured their words carefully. “To the Rumbellers out there, we hope that you enjoy what we have in store. In the second half of the season, they are going to be in the same world for an extended period of time,” Adam Horowitz said. Eddy Kitsis then added, “The second half of the season will further explore their relationship – in whatever state that is.” Sounds alive-ish to me, right…?

Once Upon a Time: Rebecca Mader Is Playing The Wicked Witch of the West! See the Incredible First Photos

 

Holy flying monkeys! How amazing does Rebecca Mader look as the Wicked Witch of the West on ABC's Once Upon a Time!?!

We were first to reveal that Lost's Rebecca Mader would be joining ABC's smash drama to play the newest villain going up against Storybrooke's forces of good—and now we can finally spill details on her role as The Wizard of Oz's  Wicked Witch of the West, a k a Elphaba!

Check out these first look pics of Mader in the iconic role, looking positively terrifying, and fabulous, atop her broomstick. So many chills. Can we call her Elphabulous?!! No, of course we can't.

Immediately following Sunday night's spell-binding midseason finale, Once Upon a Time gave fans a sneak peek at all the magic and mayhem that's coming up in the second half of season three. Including, of course, the introduction of the show's new big, bad, villain: The Wicked Witch. We are told that THE WWOW (you're welcome for another terrible nickname) will square off against Regina, forming a new, formidable opponent to the Evil Queen, now that she and Rumple have made amends.

 

While many fans were speculating the new villain might be Cruella du Ville (which, granted, would also be pretty fantastic), Once has decided to dip into the rich world of The Wizard of Oz, and it remains to be seen if other Oz characters will pop up further down the line. (Can we put in a plug now for Kristin Chenoweth as Glenda?) And don't forget, show creators Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis love to put their own spin on well-known characters, so we certainly can't assume that Elphaba is just as we've seen her in the Oz books, the movie or the Broadway sensation Wicked.

 

Fellow Once Upon a Time star, Robbie Kay (Pan), tells us he is thrilled that Mader will be joining the cast as Elphaba in episode 13.

"It's certainly an exciting prospect for the show, so it will be interesting to see how they put a twist on [her character]," Kay told E! News. "To be honest, it would be fantastic for them to sort of delve into that whole Wizard of Oz land and to see whether they can implement more characters into the story." Fingers crossed we'll be seeing Dorothy and her little dog, too!

Once Upon a Time will return with new episodes on...March 9 on ABC. Anyone else feel like you might be mellllltttiiinnnnng in a sea of anticipation until then?

Spoiler Chat:Once

 

 Miles: Are we going to see any changes in Pan's relationship with Rumple in the next episode of Once Upon a Time?
Funny you should ask! We just got off the phone with the TV's most evil 17-year-old, Robbie Kay, and he tells us that we will definitely see some father/son shifts in this Sunday's brand-new episode. "You are going to see a change in the relationship in the mid-season finale. So they will touch upon that and it will be very interesting to see where they go from there in terms of their relationship as the season progresses." Hmm, perhaps this means that Pan will be sticking around after the winter hiatus? We're currently crossing our fingers and toes and hoping for a yes!

 

Once Upon a Time EPs Tease Midseason Finale's 'Devastating' Twist, 'Compelling' Spring Story Arc

This Sunday at 8/7c, ABC’s Once Upon a Time conjures its midseason finale — as in the last episode you will see until March 9, as a result of the ambitous new split-season scheduling. As such, the stakes and the drama are especially high.

When last we tuned in, Emma, Regina et al discovered that Peter Pan had A) swapped bodies with kindly Henry, B) used his shadow to dispatch with the Blue Fairy and C) pinched the Dark Curse Regina used years ago to power down the Enchanted Forest and transplant its denizens to Storybrooke, Maine, sans memories.

If the puckish lad casts the curse anew, Rumplestiltskin has noted, there would be no way to undo it, seeing as the “true love” loophole would not be woven into it. That’d leave everyone stuck in time unaware of their true selves, with Pan to lord over them in this “new Neverland.”
Having failed in his original scheme — to steal the heart of the truest believer (aka Henry) — “Pan has regrouped and come up with a Plan B that is probably even more devastating and intense,” series cocreator Adam Horowitz tells TVLine. “It’s going to test all of our heroes to see if and how they can stop him, and at what cost.”

Because even though Pan is playing in a brand-new sandbox far from the Neverland realm, his particular brand of evil levels the playing field — and then some. Notes cocreator Eddy Kitsis, “We learn very quickly that he is a villain unlike any we’ve faced, and there is no ‘home field advantage’ for us.”

Whether the Storybrooke heroes can somehow thwart Pan’s plan and save their sleepy burg, the show bosses aren’t saying. But as the Neverland arc’s final hour unfolds, you can count on closure on assorted fronts.

“The midseason finale is meant to tie up all of the arcs and loose ends from the first half of this season, while also endeavoring to carry over the story into what we are hoping is a compelling new mode of storytelling in the second half,” says Horowitz. Adds Kitsis: ”By the end of Episode 11, most of the loose ends are tied up. Like, ‘Does Tink get her wings back?’ — all these questions will be answered. It will feel very much like a season finale, and we are very much setting up what will be a season premiere in March.”
As for what that second “non-stop” run of 11 episodes will look like, Horowitz previously told TVLine that it won’t be a deep-dive into a new realm a la Neverland, but instead a narrative that is primarily focused, Season 1-style, on Storybrooke and The Enchanted Forest. “It’s a different kind of story,” he says, “that is a direct outgrowth from the climax of the winter finale and the fallout that comes from it.”

Although the split-season scheduling — which ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and (to a lesser degree) Revenge are also trying out this year — is something the Once creators desired, did it come with cons as well as pros? Did crafting a midseason cliffhanger that must bridge a 12-week (!) hiatus bring with it an extra-heavy burden? “It does,” Kitsis allows, “but as writers, it frees you up, because you’re not trying to stretch one story through 22 episodes. You’re not coming back in the middle [of the season] trying to dance until you can ramp up for the end.”

So as the midseason finale comes to a climax, viewers can count on new questions to be raised and the threat of a new-yet-familiar evil — an iconic, yet-to-be-identified villainess played by Lost‘s Rebecca Mader — to be introduced (via a new promo following the episode). Hopefully, it’s all tantalizing enough to reel people back in come March 9.

“We have some intriguing surprises in the season finale,” Horowitz teases. “We’ve obviously been building to this all season, with the mindset of using it as a launching pad for the second half of the season. We hope the audience digs in and sticks with us!”

Mega Buzz:Blue Fairy

Is the Blue Fairy really dead on Once Upon a Time? — Jen
NATALIE: The good news: Executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis recently teased that shadows can be reattached to their hosts. The bad news: We hear the cast recently shot a funeral scene up in Vancouver.

Once Upon a Time Exclusive: Find Out Who Will Let Down Her Hair as Rapunzel

Things will get a bit hairy on Once Upon a Time when the ABC drama introduces its take on Rapunzel.
And filling the iconic role, TVLine has learned exclusively, will be ill-fated Originals witch Alexandra Metz.

Metz will make her debut in the 14th episode of Season 3 — aka soon into the second half, which premieres March 9 — and though nothing at this time is confirmed, there is always the option for additional future appearances.

News of Rapunzel’s arrival was first teased in my Inside Line column; props to commenter Nichole for correctly guessing the role being cast. She wins 250 TVLine Power User Points, which have no cash value.

In addition to her short arc as The Originals‘ Katie, Metz’s TV credits include Chicago Fire and episodes of The Good Wife and Gossip Girl.
Once airs Sundays at 8/7c, with its fall finale scheduled for Dec. 15.

Ask Ausiello: Once Spoiler

Question: Can you offer up any clues on the location/setting for the second half of Once Upon a Time Season 3 (premiering March 9)? Will it take place entirely in Storybrooke, or will there be trips to another never-before-seen world? — abz
Ausiello: Better than clues, we have cold, hard facts. More akin to Season 1′s storytelling, “The second half [of Season 3] will take place between Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest,” series cocreator Eddy Kitsis told Matt Mitovich. In other words, EP Adam Horowitz underscored, “It’s not a ‘journey to another land’ paradigm” à la the Neverland arc concluding Dec. 15. “We always have the ability and the desire to dip into other lands, which it’s more than likely we shall do,” Horowitz added, “but it will be in the way that we’ve done it in the past, as opposed to locking all of our characters onto a boat and sending them [to a new realm].”

Pictures from filming

The Queen is back

Barbara Hershey

Here's one reason to celebrate ABC's decision to stick with its struggling Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. The spin-off has just closed a deal with Barbara Hershey to reprise her popular Once Upon a Time role as Cora, The Queen of Hearts.
Even though Cora met her demise on Once, where she made life hell for everyone including her daughter Regina, executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz stated over the summer their intentions to introduce the character into Alice's Wonder world.   
For now, Hershey is scheduled to appear in just one March episode — the series' 11th hour. Besides tangling with Alice, I'm just hoping for a face-off between Cora and Jafar, played by Hershey's real-life former beau, Naveen Andrews.
Let the games begin!

Once Upon a Time Creators Tease Adoption Flashback Twists, Warn of Peter Pan's Resilience

Appropriate for the onset of the Yuletide season, “What child is this?” is one of the questions Regina (played by Lana Parrilla) will ponder this Sunday on Once Upon a Time (ABC, 8/7c), as we flash back to Storybrooke’s very early days and Mayor Mills’ growing desire to be a mom.

“This [storyline] started last year in ‘Welcome to Storybrooke,’ when Regina met Owen,” Once cocreator Eddy Kitsis notes. “We realized that when she cast the curse [that transported the Enchanted Forest's denizens to Maine], it created a hole in her heart. The curse was not fulfilling for her. She needed something more, something real.” And in spending time with uninvited Storybrooke guest Curt Flynn’s young son, “She realized that the love she was looking for was in a child.”

But can a wicked witch make for a mindful mom? (After all, baby Henry doesn’t look too content in the episodic photos that have circulated.) “Regina wasn’t always the Evil Queen,” series cocreator Adam Horowitz reminds. “There’s a woman inside of her with a heart, who has felt love and who has felt loss, and now she has a hole in her heart from casting this curse. How does she go about filling that hole? And can she do it with Henry?”
Kitsis says that another question to perhaps be raised, if only because the always resourceful Mr. Gold aka Rumplestiltskin has his manipulative mitts in the mix, is: “Does Regina realize who Henry’s [birth] mom is?”

All told — including as teased in this week’s Ask Ausiello column — “there are some twists and turns in the saga of how Regina adopted Henry,” Horowitz affirms. “A couple of ‘What ifs?’ are posed.” And in visiting that defining, emotional juncture in Regina’s life, Lana Parrilla “killed it,” Kitsis raves.
“One of the reasons we’re showing [this flashback] right now, in our 52nd episode or whatever, is to see in Neverland how far this woman has come,” Kitsis explains. “You see what she was like as a vengeful Evil Queen, and you see her now in present day as Henry’s mom.”

Speaking of Neverland: Henry is, as Miracle Max might put it, “mostly dead” — or as the Once bosses say, “in pretty rough shape” after donating his ticker to Peter Pan for misguided reasons. As the coming hour unspools, “The drive to get him back to himself is what’s fueling our folks on the island,” says Horowitz. But despite their boldest best efforts to right this horrible wrong, Kitsis must warn, “Peter Pan does not go down easy.”
Once Upon a Time’s fall finale airs Sunday, Dec. 15.

Once and Wonderland Spoilers

Any chance for a reconciliation between Neal and Rumple on Once Upon a Time? — Tracy
NATALIE: Now that Neal has discovered the truth about his lineage, it will open the door for father and son to finally have a relationship. "It provides an opportunity for Neal to see his father as someone who carried a burden for hundreds of years because he was hurt or embarrassed about Pan being his father," Michael Raymond-James says. "It really allows him to see his dad in a new light. That's a revelatory moment for Neal."
  
Question: I was wondering if you had any scoop on Emma and Hook’s relationship on Once Upon a Time? –Laura
Ausiello: Once cocreator Eddy Kitsis told Matt Mitovich that with Henry’s life now on the line more than ever, Emma will be squarely focused on the dire present, with no thought given to her romantic future. Hook and Neal, meanwhile — sharing as they do a quite complicated past of their own – will arrive at some sort of agreement in the Dec. 8 episode. Says Kitsis, “You’ll see how they’re going to deal with each other and with Emma in, I think, a surprising way.”

Question: Will we get to see in the next half of this season of Once Upon a Time how Regina adopted Henry and how she raised him? — abz
Ausiello: Hmm, your subscription to the Daily Mirror must have lapsed, because that bit of backstory will be revealed this Sunday, and it’s at least a two-hanky affair, as Mayor Mills struggles to bond with her procured bambino. But what you may find surprising is who almost adopted wee Henry instead.

Question: Any chance we’ll be seeing the Jabberwock on Once Upon a Time in Wonderland? I just can’t imagine Alice in Wonderland without it. —Estee
Ausiello: And there won’t be an Alice in Wonderland without it. “You will see the Jabberwock” in the second half of the season, Eddy Kitsis promises.

Spoiler Comment post

There were spoilers the other week when they were filming Episode 11 that Grumpy was running up the main street of Storybrooke screaming "It's here! The cruse! It's here!" and Regina was saying Goodbye to Henry and Emma. So it's looking like a lot of characters will be going back to the EF (Since the episode is called 'Going Home').

Do you have anything on Once Upon a Time that isn’t related to one ‘ship or another? –Lauren
Wrap your magic bean around this one: For Episode 14, the show is casting the possibly recurring role of a teenage African-American female who comes across as skittish and timid, having had her naturally curious and determined spirit tempered by years of crippling fear. That said, when put to the test, this lass can reach within and summon the strength to be a hero. Ready, set, speculate!

Christopher Gorham, who was on Ugly Betty before taking the lead on Covert Affairs, will guest star in the 12th episode of the current Once Upon season.

Gorham will play an “important character in the life of Emma Swan.

Mega Buzz: Onces Evil Father

Will the group learn the truth about Peter Pan's identity on Once Upon a Time? — Sarah
NATALIE: Yes, and when they do, they may actually feel bad for the Rumple, despite the fact that he's caused them all strife at one point or another. "When I learned Pan was his father, it all made sense to me why he is the way he is and how he turned out that way," Lana Parrilla says. "As Regina, I had compassion for his character. It's heartbreaking when a parent abandons their child, but the way he did it was just so evil and so sinister. He is more evil than the Evil Queen and Rumple because there's no remorse."

We've snagged a first look photo (above) straight from the Once Upon a Time set and it looks like our characters are finally back in our favorite little town: Storybrooke!

Spoiler Chat: Once Upon a Time

Natalie: I absolutely adored JoAnna Garcia on last night's Once Upon a Time! Please tell me that we are going to be seeing more of Ariel?You're in luck fairytale fan! We recently chatted with The Little Mermaid and she promised us that we will definitely be seeing this fin-tastic new character in a few more episodes this season. Also did you know that JoAnna Garcia and Jennifer Morrison are off-screen besties? Emma and Ariel will soon be sharing scenes together as well…

Something's fishy :-D

Ok so I absolutely loved this episode but, there is just one teeny tiny little thing that made me sad.

I was a little sad when Hook spilled his guts for Emma and told everyone the truth about kissing and she just ignored him.

(I ship Captain Swan so hard by the way)

I loved Ariel and her back story!

Eric was super hot! And I loved that he waited for her for so long.

Regina made a really good Ursula dispute my prior feelings of having her play the mythical sea serpent.
Her voice and look was fantastic but one thing I am curious about was who was the voice to the Ursula who came out of the mirror and will we be seeing her again???
(I for one sure hope so)

Ariel is super cute I am excited to see her in Storybrooke

Oh and the best part Belle is back :-D

Which brings me to my next point that next weeks hash tag is #Belleisback so if you use Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler use this hash tag so that other Oncers can see your posts!

I loved that Snow put her heart I. the line and confessed go David that she wanted another child! Because she did miss everything in Emma's life her first step, her first word, her first laugh. It would be fantastic for them to try again.

I'm glad that the truth finally came out about Charming's illness and that he will never be able to leave. Snow looked a little peeved which who wouldn't be.

So how do you feel about that? Do you think she will ever forgive him? And if she doesn't forgive him do you think she will stay in Neverland or go back with Emma?

And Rumpelstiltskin I could see that the figment of Belle was going to be in some form Pan. How didn't you? Dude you are the dark one for goodness sake.

I was also disapointed that the word "Dinglehopper" was not used in this episode. Because it could have easily been incorporated. For example

Ariel- holding the fork up for Snow to see "Oh I have seen one of these before. I discovered one in the bottom of a ship wreck. Someone wise once told me that it was a Dinglehopper. Then brings it to hair and starts running it threw her locks. While Snow tries frantically to stop her.

I was happy though that Regina left the group and went on her own to team up with rumple to find Henry. I think that in the long run them working together would be a benefit.

I am also a little sceptical that Neal might not really be Neal... I have a feeling that he is Pan in disguise. Could be wrong but Pan wouldn't give Neal up that easily... Or would he???

Hook in the episode really made me want to cry. He is so in love with Emma and he let it fly that he had feelings and Emma dumped all over them by reconnecting with Neal. Yes I realize that they have only had one kiss and that doesn't automatically make them a couple but I wish it did!

All in all this episode was really good. The CGI was also good with Ursula's arms. At first when I saw the sneak peeks I thought that maybe it wouldn't be so great but it was.

This was my review for this weeks episode. Tell us what you think in the comments below :-D

Once Upon a Time Brings Ariel to Life!

Ginnifer Goodwin, Joanna Garcia Swisher

Once Upon a Time is going under the sea!
The ABC fairy-tale drama will finally introduce the beloved mermaid that fans have been dying to see since the show subtly name-dropped her. Ariel (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) will dominate Sunday's episode, titled "Ariel," in both past and present, as she comes into contact with our heroes. Unlike other fairy-tale characters who get the Once twist, Garcia Swisher says her little mermaid is very familiar.

"She's very true to who she was in the movie and that's what I love about it," Garcia Swisher tells TVGuide.com. "Her optimism is still there and she's got this spunk and this desire and this bravery, but really gets herself into trouble with how naïve she is. But that's also what we love about her."

In the past, Ariel will actually save Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) from what Goodwin calls a "truly near fatal accident." "In order to repay Ariel, Snow offers to help Ariel find her true love and, of course, they become BFFs along the way," Goodwin says.

That true love is Prince Eric (Gil McKinney), whom Ariel also saved at one point. "It's incredibly romantic that Ariel can be driven by this incredible love for this man that she's only just briefly met," Garcia Swisher says. "It's just old school and there's this incredible connection. It's a very Disney moment."
But in true Disney fashion, that moment might not last since Ariel will come face-to-face with the infamous Ursula, who, in the world of Once, has been more myth than legend. "Ursula does not disappoint," Garcia Swisher says. "She has the embodiment of evil. Really and truly in our story, Ursula has never been seen. She is a beloved character, someone that's revered and worshipped in a way."

And who plays Ursula? She will have a very familiar face as — spoiler alert if you missed the promos — Lana Parilla will pull double duty. "Everyone knows I've loved Ursula since I was a little girl and I've based a lot of Regina off of her actually," Parrilla says. "I've found it challenging to make her different, because I didn't want her to be like the Queen. It's a bit tricky and I think you'll get a kick out of it. I didn't know how to go about it initially. But after some of the work I did, I found a different Ursula that's not the one we know from The Little Mermaid, so she's my version."

Meanwhile, Regina will have other issues to deal with when she realigns herself with Gold (Robert Carlyle) in her quest to get Henry (Jared Gilmore) back. "Regina's just fed up with the Charmings," Parrilla says. "She's had it. They're just a bunch of goody-two-shoes and they're kind of cliquey and she's not into that. She is the odd man out constantly. ... She uses her power and magic to get what she wants and they don't and it's just taking longer and longer. The more days she goes without her son, the more frustrated she becomes. She's just ready to take matters into her own hands, so she flees and leaves them all and finds Gold. They're two peas in a pod. They understand each other. They speak the same language. She has more faith in him than the Charmings at this point."

Look for Regina to put to rest the question "once and for all whether or not that's truly Belle [Emilie de Ravin]" that Rumple has been envisioning, according to Carlyle.
But their ultimate salvation may lie with Ariel. "The wonderful and interesting thing about mermaids is that they can swim between realms," Garcia Swisher teases. "So I feel like my fins can be put to good use. Good thing Ariel is in good shape."
Are you excited to meet Ariel?
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

Once Upon a Time: JoAnna Garcia Talks 'Klepto' Ariel, Swim Fin Woes

This Sunday at 8/7c, ABC’s Once Upon a Time heads under the sea to introduce us to a little mermaid. As played by JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Reba), a front-runner for the role since Season 1, Ariel will in flashback face off against a “familiar” foe, while in Neverland she offers her special swimming skills to Emma and the gang.
Swisher spoke with TVLine about assuming the iconic princess for “more than a couple of episodes,” the pitfalls of swimming with a fin and how Ariel will make a splash in Storybrooke.

TVLINE | You as Ariel — this has been, what, two years in the making?
I know, right? I’m so glad they decided to this right after I had a baby!

TVLINE | I was going to say, a few months earlier and you would have had to politely decline.
Even a few months after, I was like, “Oh god, here we go….”

TVLINE | [Once cocreator] Adam Horowitz is a great Yankees fan. Were you ever concerned along the way that your husband [Nick Swisher] leaving the Bronx to join the Cleveland Indians would jeopardize this gig?
Not in the slightest. In fact it was really cute, Adam got to talk to Nick while we were in Vancouver. He was really excited.

TVLINE | Where do we pick up Ariel’s story in Fairytale Land? Has she met Prince Eric yet?
Yes, she has – so she’s pining, plotting to figure out a way to see him again. She has met him and she is madly in love. It’s incredibly romantic. I save Snow White’s life, so to return the favor, Snow teaches me how to be a princess. And she also urges me to be myself and tell him the truth and follow my heart and all those incredibly romantic Snow White notions.

TVLINE | How and why does Ursula enter the picture?
Well, there’s always a price to pay with magic, and when you dangle the idea of being with Eric in front of Ariel, she will go to no end to make it happen.

TVLINE | Meanwhile, what are you up to on the Neverland side?
Well, mermaids can swim between realms, so that ability becomes quite handy and useful to the gang…. They call upon Ariel to maybe help in their fight.

TVLINE | Is there any moment of recognition between Regina and Ariel? Because Regina is Ursula, right?
Yes, Regina is Ursula. I think there probably is a little bit of resentment….

TVLINE | So, why the purse? What’s in it?
Where else am I going to keep my dinglehopper, Matt?! I’m definitely enamored with little objects – I’m a bit of a klepto – and I find things along the way that I fancy to be mine. It’s my “treasure bag.”
 
TVLINE | Are there other nods to Ariel’s story? Is there a crab…?
There is a crab, but he’s not dancing round and adorable. It’s just a brief sort of tip of the hat. In fact, I explain to them that we don’t eat humans down below, so… it’s kind of horrifying to see seafood everywhere!


TVLINE | Emile de Ravin said that Belle has scenes with Ariel…. Is that more down the pike?
It’s not as far down the pike as you would imagine. Like I said, mermaids can swim between realms, so we do get to interact. Obviously when you’re a guest on a show, it’s your job to help the heroes along in their journey, and I really love the fact that Ariel gets to do that in a lot of ways.

TVLINE | When swimming between realms, can she bring someone along for the ride, if they hang on tight?
I don’t think that would be suggested! But the bag that you were asking about, it definitely helps in her journey.

TVLINE | Any costume issues?
I mean, thank god for Spanx! [Laughs] But Eduardo [Castro] is an incredible costume designer, so there were no issues. I did have some times where my back was hurting because I swam a lot with my legs bound… and I was in the real ocean quite a bit, on two different occasions. I really feel like I didn’t think through all of it! I was like, “You want me in the ocean, not the 100-degree water tank/giant Jacuzzi?” [Laughs]

TVLINE | Oh, and it can get chilly there in Vancouver.
It was so… cold. The day that I had to go into the ocean, Lee Arenberg (“Leroy/Grumpy”), who’s like a surfer dude and has been in all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, helped get me through that with some tips.

TVLINE | Jen Morrison was telling me how she had to sneak a sweater onto Emma in an upcoming episode, it was that cold out one day.
Just this past Monday, I was like, “Where did you get gloves, dude?” And Jen was like, “It’s magic — we can manifest things here.” I was like, “I wish I had known that a month ago!”

TVLINE | You and Jen go back a ways, right?
She’s one of my closest girlfriends, yeah. She was at my wedding, and at every big monumental moment in my life, and I think she’s so fantastic. One of the reasons I watched the [Once Upon a Time] pilot is because I watch everything that my girlfriends do, and I was like, “Whoa, this is spectacular.” I instantly became a fan. so I was excited to be able to do this!

Colin O'Donoghue Previews Once Upon a Time's 'Surprising' Kiss, Ponders Hook/Neal Face-Off

It wasn’t always a pirate’s life for Killian Jones, Once Upon a Time will reveal this Sunday (ABC, 8/7c).
In fact, Killian was once a stand-up Navy officer before circumstance — perhaps stemming from his first clash with Peter Pan? — turned him to the dark, guylinered side. Meanwhile in Neverland, the swashbuckler’s swag leads Emma to make a “surprising” move. Colin O’Donoghue spoke with TVLine about that twist and how it stands to make Neal’s return awkward.

TVLINE | What kind of a bloke was young Killian Jones?
He was very different than the Killian Jones you’ve seen before. He was a Navy officer, a lieutenant, and he very much lived by that code. He was straight-laced and believed in right and wrong. It was great to play him in the morning and then go to play Captain Hook in the afternoon! And it was nice to have a costume change. [Laughs]
 
TVLINE | What sort of relationship does Killian have with his brother Liam?
They’re very close. They’ve spent their whole lives together, and now they’re both on this ship, as officers. Liam is the captain and there’s a huge respect they have for each other. But it sort of ties into why Hook decides that he could turn the other cheek and help David…. He sees an element of his brother in David, I think, and that makes him want to try to help.

TVLINE | In flashback, is there one defining moment that steers Killian onto the path of being Hook?
Absolutely there is. You see the reasons why he becomes who he becomes, why he becomes a pirate and all of that. You also begin to see an element of Killian come back into Hook in this episode as well, which is a nice way to do it. It ties in with how as a young guy he was very idealistic, and the old Hook is more jaded. But the optimism begins to come back for Hook.

 
TVLINE | Of course we have The Big Kiss coming up. Were there whoops and hollers at the table read when everyone got to that scene?
[Laughs] It’s kind of been in the cards, I guess — Hook and Emma have this strange relationship where they are a bit of kindred spirits. But the kiss comes out of a place of complete surprise, how it happens. It’s not something that brews, it comes from a surprising place. But it’s a kiss nonetheless!

TVLINE | Which of the two is more affected coming away from the moment?
I think it affects them both. I don’t think Hook was expecting it necessarily, and I’m not convinced Emma was expecting it either. But I don’t think either of them hate it!

TVLINE | If Hook were to get wind that Neal is there on the island, might his more dastardly side take steps to prevent a reunion with Emma?
It will be interesting to see. That relationship with Baelfire is very complicated. Hook really would have given up everything to be a father figure to Baelfire, and I think that even now, hundreds of years later, he still sees him as that little boy, and still holds him quite dear. Even though he gave him up to the Lost Boys, if Baelfire had turned around said, “I want to stay,” he would have done everything in his power to keep him. At the end of the day, Hook really truly loved Baelfire’s mother Milah and he still sees the mother in the boy. So it would be complicated, but I would be interested to see how he would react to that.

TVLINE | So if Emma ultimately has cause to run into Neal’s arms, it won’t necessarily “flip a switch” for Hook and revert him to his ruthless pirate ways?
Not necessarily. I think Hook has the confidence to believe that he could easily get any girl if he put his mind to it. That’s the kind of guy he is! If he will or would is a whole other thing.

 TVLINE | You’ve also been enjoying playing the budding bromance with Charming….
Yeah, I think Hook and David even have a ‘ship name now as well. It’s been fun, all right, to get to do that – especially because of Hook’s sort of constant flirting with Emma in front of David.

TVLINE | I think the new promo even has a moment where David says, “Stay away from my daughter!”
[Laughs] Every dad would say that!

'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' Casts Aussie Actress as a 'Force of Nature' (Exclusive)

 Once Upon a Time in Wonderland is adding an iconic character to its freshman season.
 Australian actress Peta Sergeant, who starred in both versions of The CW's The Selection pilot, has joined the Once Upon a Time spinoff, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Billed as a recurring role, Sergeant will play a "force of nature in Wonderland" on the ABC fairy-tale drama. Details on the character's identity are being kept close to the vest.
Hailing from executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Wonderland follows a young and beautiful Alice (Sophie Lowe) who tells the tale of a strange new land that exists on the other side of a rabbit hole. Like the mothership, additional characters from other tales -- like Jafar (Naveen Andrews) -- have been featured on the spinoff.
Sergeant is repped by TalentWorks, Principato Young and Stone Meyer. She starred in a slew of Australian TV series, including Satisfaction and Canal Road.

Once Upon a Time's Jennifer Morrison on Emma's Conundrum: Hook vs. Neal!

Jennifer Morrison and Colin O'Donoghue

Although the savior is charged with making sure everyone else gets their happy endings, Once Upon a Time viewers have been desperately hoping that Emma (Jennifer Morrison) would get hers.
Exclusive: Once Upon a Time casts Rumplestiltskin's father
Among the many online groups dedicated to Emma's love life — Swan Queen, Wooden Swan, Mad Swan, and Swan Thief to name a few — it was the Captain Swan fans who nearly blew up the Internet this week when photos and video surfaced showing Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and Emma kissing in Sunday's episode (8/7c, ABC). But some fans griped about Emma opening herself up to Hook just days after Neal's (Michael Raymond-James) death, and while she is still on her mission to save Henry (Jared Gilmore),
"Of course it's flattering that someone is interested in whatever, but it's not even registering with her because she's concerned about saving her child," Morrison says. "It just heightens the dynamic of everything going on that Hook is the one that's helping her right now, and Hook is the one that's present, and he's the one who's surprising her by following through with what he promises to do, and seems to be doing this very selflessly instead of selfishly. She's definitely taken aback by how different he is than what she expected and definitely still thinks that Neal's dead, but in her mind, all of its irrelevant because she's just trying to get to Henry."
But Emma's potential relationships with Neal and Hook aren't the only ones she needs to work on. In Neverland, Emma was forced to face the truth about herself: She's not just the savior, she's also an orphan. When Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) sent her through the portal to save their people, Emma was left to fend for herself as a child, leading her to put up barriers to prevent herself from ever really making a connection. But this trip, should Charming survive it after his Dreamshade poisoning, may actually bring her closer to her parents.
Once Upon a Time bosses dissect Peter Pan's motivations
"I think Emma does forgive her parents," Morrison says. "She understands logically why they did it and I think she could probably could put herself in their shoes and imagine herself making the same decision. But that doesn't change [the fact] that she spent 28 years without a family and without loved ones and having to survive on her own in some way. Finding them doesn't eliminate everything she's gone through up until that point. They need time with each other to create a true bond and a true relationship. Her hurt feelings and her emotions don't mean that she doesn't forgive them, it means that they have a lot of work to do."
With her walls coming down, we'll also see Emma's relationship with Regina (Lana Parrilla) evolve since they are both mothers determined to find their son. "Emma and Regina's relationship this season is interesting because they have to sweep so much under the rug in order to save Henry," Morrison says. "She's tried to kill my family and me and she has killed other people, so she's not forgetting that that is a part of who this woman is, but she definitely identified with the part of Regina that loves Henry and wants the best for him. She's looking to connect with that part of her. Emma really is searching to see the human side of Regina in order to be her partner in getting Henry back."
Once Upon a Time postmortem: Will Emma & Co. be able to save Henry?
It's these relationships that have pushed Emma to explore a new side of herself since the show's debut. Emma has certainly come a long way to getting her own happy ending in just roughly a year since Henry showed up on her doorstep. "She's had an incredible journey," Morrison says. "She went from having nothing to having parents and a child and a community and enemies and all sorts of thing overnight and it's been a huge adjustment for her. I do feel like she has grown past a lot of her exterior barriers that she initially had. She's certainly grown past her fear of being a bad mother. She definitely wants to be Henry's mother and be present in his life and to figure out how to be the best mom she can possibly be. She definitely wants to participate in her parents' lives, she just hasn't figured out how yet."
Do you think Emma should be with Neal or Hook? Or should Emma spend more time on her own? Hit the comments!
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I already know This will be my Fav Ep...ARIELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

So i'm a little disappointed...

A while back Tony and I had discussed who should be the evil villain Ursula. Should it be a cast member? Or Should it be a new actor? Well if you saw the show tonight and watched the preview for next week you will know that Regina is play in our evil sea witch. Which (haha) is unfortunate because we both wanted to see a new evil villain character.

Hopefully this will pay off and Regions will make a great spell binding octopus but we will just have to wait and see!

Exclusive: Once Upon a Time Casts Rumplestiltskin's Father

Robert Carlyle, Stephen Lord

The Dark One's daddy issues are about to surface in a very big way.
British actor Stephen Lord has been cast as Rumplestiltskin's father on Once Upon a Time, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.


On the series, we've learned that the father of a young Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) was branded a coward, so Rumple was desperate to prove he wouldn't follow in dear old dad's footsteps. But when he was drafted to fight in the ogre war, a seer prophesized that he would die in battle, so Rumple intentionally injured himself to sidestep the prophecy. Unfortunately, that also led him to also be branded a coward.
Lord (EastEnders, Shameless) will appear via flashback in at least one episode, slated to air Sunday, Nov. 17. Suffice it to say, we'll get to learn exactly why he wasn't such a great father.

"We've hinted in the past that his father was a coward and that his father's name was something that haunted him and that his father left him," executive producer Edward Kitsis recently told TVGuide.com. "This is a man who wants to break the cycle of his past. He wants to be a good father, but it's like that quote, 'I can resist everything but temptation,' so that's also his weakness."
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

Marilyn Manson Joining 'Once Upon a Time' Cast

Marilyn Manson performs in Bologna, Italy.

Mario Carlini/Iguana Press/Getty Images

Once Upon a Time's journey into the dark recesses of Neverland has gotten pretty scary already, what with an evil Peter Pan running around. Now it's about to get a whole lot creepier: ABC has confirmed exclusively to Rolling Stone that rocker Marilyn Manson will be joining the cast  of the show in November. Manson will voice Shadow, a character whose voice will give life to the very essence of Neverland.

"We've always been enormous fans of Marilyn Manson," show creators and executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz told Rolling Stone. "We wanted to cast someone with the vocal ability to make our skin crawl."
This season on Once Upon a Time follows Emma, Rumpelstiltskin, Regina, Captain Hook and the rest of the Fairytale Avengers in Neverland as they look for Henry while battling the evil Peter Pan. The Shadow has appeared a few times already this season, and he's not quite the mischievous, fun-loving character who appeared in the classic Peter Pan tales. This version of Shadow is more interested in kidnapping and soul-stealing – and with Manson's voice added to the mix, he should become a skin-crawling part of Neverland.
Manson's most recent album, Born Villain, was released last year.
