Filming notice
This is a filming notice from episode 17 entitled "Welcome to Storybrook" the same episode that sheriff Graham is reported to be in
Concerning Sheriff Graham
According to an article I found on...
http://www.onceuponatimefans.co.uk/apps/blog/show/23186630-storybrooke-steps-back-in-time-
That ^^website. The sheriff will only be in town for a brief period. :-( sad day for all of us Emma/Graham fans out there. But this episode promises to be a rather interesting tale. The story will take us back in time!!!
Is Neal really Bea???
We have all been going over this and everyone seems to think that Neal is in fact Rumple's son Belfire. I personally think that this theory has some validity to it!
Let me hear what you think :-)
Jamie Dornan's Sheriff Graham Returning to Once Upon a Time!
It's the moment Once Upon a Time fans have been waiting for: Sheriff Graham is returning.
TVGuide.com has learned that Jamie Dornan will be reprising his role on the ABC fairy tale drama later this season, but details of how the now-deceased sheriff, otherwise known as the Huntsman, will return are being kept under wraps — though it's clear he won't be back in present-day Storybrooke. (R.I.P.!)
Exclusive Once Upon a Time First Look: Snow White's mother comes to fairy tale land
When we spoke to Adam Hororwitz and Edward Kitsis for Lightning Round 3, the executive producers seemed hopeful for Dornan's return. "Jamie Dornan is in London recovering from shoulder surgery, so I think our fans can all wish him well and nurse him back to health so he can be ready to be hungry like the wolf again," Kitsis said.
Sheriff Graham, who was growing closer to outsider Emma (Jennifer Morrison) during Season 1, was last seen in Storybrooke when he started to regain memories of his old life in fairy tale land. Because that would ruin Regina's (Lana Parrilla) plans, she crushed his heart and killed him.
Are you excited for the sheriff to return?
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

Casey
Casey here is a present OTHER:OLTL AMC NEWS
Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY – January 25, 2013 – In a groundbreaking move that brings premium first-run, broadcast-quality programming to a mass-market audience via the internet, Prospect Park’s The Online Network (TOLN) announced today that the Company has reached an agreement with Hulu and the iTunes Store to distribute all-new episodes of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.” Through the Hulu distribution agreement, the hugely popular daily dramas will reach tens of millions of fans via the free Hulu.com service, as well as millions of Hulu Plus subscribers watching on connected TVs, mobile phones, tablets and PCs. iTunes customers can enjoy viewing on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV and their Mac or PC. The announcement was made today by Prospect Park Chairman and CEO, Jeff Kwatinetz.
“I believe that both Hulu and iTunes have the vision, the reach and the technology to help us launch TOLN in a significant way,” Kwatinetz said. “We think these platforms are part of history, helping us to transform distribution. Hulu’s reach, platform and advertising prowess are best in class, and iTunes provides an incredible way to buy TV shows that is second to none. Through both of these partners, we hope daytime drama fans are absolutely delighted to be able to watch their favorite programs in a broadcast-quality HD format wherever and whenever they want.”
Separately, Prospect Park has closed its financing with ABRY Partners, one of the most experienced and successful media-focused private equity investment firms in North America. Since 1989, ABRY has completed over $36 billion in leveraged transactions and other private equity investments involving approximately 450 properties.
Brent Stone, a partner at ABRY Partners, stated, “We are excited to be partnering with Jeff Kwatinetz and the rest of the team at Prospect Park, and we strongly believe that they will continue to be a leader in their innovative approach to content creation.”
Kwatinetz continued, “We are privileged to the have the backing and partnership with Brent and his team at ABRY, who are proven, brilliant investors, and will help us reach our ultimate goals.”
Starting this spring, viewers can stream the beloved serial dramas “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” on the free Hulu.com service and the Hulu Plus subscription service. New 30-minute episodes of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” will be introduced each weekday. This innovative content deal will re-introduce these venerable daytime hits in a new format perfect for the viewing habits of the digital generation. Prospect Park and TOLN plan to blend new themes, fresh stars and youthful energy with the familiar actors and writers who made these shows must-watch afternoon viewing for legions of loyal fans.
The agreement with Hulu also allows brands and marketers to connect with a highly desirable and engaged audience. Hulu will manage the advertising sales for both shows, and package integrated sponsorship opportunities. TOLN will also offer ecommerce and other digital marketing programs to brands and entities looking to tap into Hulu’s mass market demographic. Additionally, Hulu will promote both series across its subscription and free-to-view platforms.
Under the leadership of Kwatinetz and Rich Frank, Prospect Park in 2011 forged a multi-year, multi-platform licensing agreement with Disney/ABC Domestic Television Group to continue production of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.” Prospect Park has also entered into a consulting agreement with Agnes Nixon, the creator of both series, guaranteeing her active involvement in their continued production. “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” ended their runs on ABC Television in September, 2011 and January, 2012, respectively.
Earlier in this month, Prospect Park announced guild agreements with Hollywood’s major labor groups, the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and the Directors Guild of America. The company also finalized a deal with the Writer’s Guild of America.

Once Upon A Time - Season 2 - Casting News - Benjamin Stockham to guest star 2x17
Benjamin Stockham, who portrays the Gilchrists' youngest son on the NBC comedy, will play a key role in the 17th episode of the fantasy drama's current season.
1600 Penn regular Benjamin Stockham, who plays the Gilchrists' youngest son Xander on the rookie NBC comedy, has landed a plum guest-starring role on Once Upon a Time that films this month, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.
In the 17th episode of the season, he will play Owen, a precocious, strong-willed kid who isn't afraid to speak his mind -- but his free-spirited, lively personality is all a facade, as he's secretly dealing with the tragic death of his mother.
Episode details are being kept under wraps for now, but it's fair to say that Stockham's character will play a significant role in its outcome.
Stockham joins a list of season-two additions that includes Jamie Chung, Sarah Bolger, Colin O'Donoghue, Jorge Garcia and Rose McGowan.
Casey Jo you need to see a Doctor

Another What if...
When Meg finally finds Mr. Gold's antique shop she stands outside trying to talk herself out of walking in. Pacing back and forth on the side walk in front of the store windows she contemplates weather or not meeting him would be in her best interest.
Finally after a long period of deliberation she opens the door and walks in slowly.
"Mr. Gold?" She asks shutting the door behind her.
She hears the bells on the door back ring as it slammed shut. Startled by the sound she turns around and grabs the knob opening the door just a crack. Then from behind her she hears a mans voice responding to her call. She turns around rather quickly and there behind the counter stood her father. A man that looked so different in her memories as a child.
"Cant you read the sign?" He asked in a rather discomforting tone.
"We are closed deary, please come back tomorrow!" He said in a hurried voice with much anger behind his words.
Meg looked puzzled for a bit. How could he not recognize her? She thought. I am his daughter and he should know me even if I have grown up.
Shocked and a little disappointed she muttered softly"Okay then, sorry to have bothered you."
And with that Meg walked out of the store.
Feeling guilty Gold called out to her "Wait, come back." But it was to late she was gone.
Meg walked and walked until she found a place to sit. A nice quiet bench facing the water. She kept playing back in her mind the time that she spent in the shop and stupid she felt for going inside. "I should have listened to my gut." She thought to herself.
"Is this seat taken?" A voice inquired from behind her.
It was the man she had met upon her arrival into Storybrooke.
"No." Stated Meg rather harshly. "I don't even know who you are. Why would you want to sit with me?" She continued rather harshly.
"Well, uh" He hesitated "I am Jefferson." He exclaimed holding out his hand to her to shake.
"I am Megara. But my friends call me Meg." She said reaching out for his hand.
"So may I call you Meg?" He asked sitting down beside her.
"I don't know yet, give me some time to get to know you and I'll tell you."
"You are very blunt aren't you?" Jefferson asked.
first look at Snow's mother
Once Upon a Time Exclusive: Rena Sofer cast as Snow White's mother
Queen Eva (Rena Sofer), the mother of Ginnifer Goodwin's Snow, will appear via flashbacks in an episode slated for early March, in which we'll also see Bailee Madison return as young Snow White.
Queen Eva will have a "surprising connection to someone else in our world," executive producer Adam Horowitz tells us. As for whether that means Cora (Barbara Hershey), whom many have suspected had a hand in Eva's death, executive producer Edward Kitsis would only add, "That would be a feud that goes back so long." As we've previously learned, Queen Eva's fate is ultimately grim, since Regina (Lana Parrilla) went on to marry Snow's father King Leopold (Richard Schiff).
Once Upon a Time Postmortem: Who died? Who lived? And what's next?
In the episode, we'll also see a new side to Snow White we may not have seen before. "You would think it would be easy to be Snow White's mother, but perhaps Snow White wasn't always Snow White," Kitsis says.
Check out an exclusive first look at Queen Eva, who appears to already be on the way to her grim end, and hit the comments with your thoughts!

Once Upon a Time - Episode 2.16 - The Miller's Daughter Spoiler
They were filming episode 16 - The Miller's Daughter
I've been thinking...
Ok well Tony thinks I am nuts for saying this and I hope it doesn't happen but I am thinking since Belle doesn't know Rumple anymore she is going to find someone else; this is just a thought. She is obviously scared of him. She flipped when he used his magic to heal her then she freaked her out when she woke up from his kiss. She threw Chip across the room and shattered him.
I want to know what you think :-)
Let me hear it
Casey :-)
Oh an p.s. I have been working on the next instalment of a what if so it's coming real soon!!!

Thursday, January 17, 2013
Do you think???
This just popped into my head... Do you think that Rumple would give up the powers of the dark one to Cora so that Belle's memory of who she was will return?
That could be the reason for the kiss... Could it be a transference of power???
I'll let you ponder on that for a minute!
Casey :-)

What if...
So just to recap the last time we met with Meg she found out she was pregnant and when she told Brandon she pushed him through a wall with the force of a dozen men. She also discovered that she had the magic of the dark one.
After a few minutes of standing in the room shock and amazed at what she had done Meg started to panic. Brandon was passed out in the neighboring room and unknowing of what else to do she pack her things in a hurry and ran to the bus station.
When she got there she was so out of breath that she could barely talk, but she pushed through her breathlessness and bought a one way ticket to Storybrooke.
The time she spent on the bus she kept looking at her hands wondered what was up with the blue haze. She had never seen it before, but she had remembered seeing this same blue haze come from the hands of Rumpelstiltskin the day he dropped her off at the home of her so called "parents". She wondered if she had the same powers at his but she was so tired and confused from the days events. As hard as it may have been she put all of that aside and fell asleep on the long bus ride to Storybrook.
When she awoke the bus driver was calling for her stop. Meg grabbed her bags and walked to the front of the bus. When the bus pulled away she was standing in the depot unaware of which way to go. The first person to walk by was one we have met before. He is a tall handsome man who could sometimes be thought of to have hone mad. Jefferson walked past then was stopped by the sound of Megs voice asking hesitantly. "C- C- Could you tell me where I could find a Mr. Gold?"
He turned around on the hills of his shoes and replied cocking one eye brow and walking towards her "Why would a beautiful lady such as you be looking for such an evil man like that?"
"He is my father, "I have been looking for him for years and I would really like to see him now so if you would just point me in the right direction I will be on my way." Meg said with an annoyed tone in her voice.
"Well, well, well; you are a fiery one aren't you just like your father." Suggested Jefferson. "If you take the first right and walk straight down the street you will see a sign on the top of the building that reads "Mr. Gold's antique shop" you should find him there.
"Thank you." She said with a nod and began on her way.
More to come!
Thanks, Casey :-)

Are you ready to meet Snow's real mother?
Tony usually brings you the posts about the characters and actors portraying them but I found this and found it interesting!
Enjoy, Casey :-)
Snow White's (real) mother is coming to Once Upon a Time!
Former General Hospital star Rena Sofer has been cast as Queen Eva, the mother of Ginnifer Goodwin's Snow whom we'll see in flashbacks, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Once Upon a Time Postmortem: Who died? Who lived? And what's next?
Sofer, whose other credits include Bones and NCIS, is slated to appear in at least one episode set for early March, which will also feature Bailee Madison as young Snow White. As previously reported, Eva has a surprising connection to someone we already know.
We may know Queen Eva's fate is ultimately grim, since Regina (Lana Parrilla) came to marry Snow's father King Leopold (Richard Schiff), but the journey to her death should be very interesting.

Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz Talk ONCE UPON A TIME Season 2
Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz Talk ONCE UPON A TIME Season 2, the Addition of Ethan Embry and Lesley Nichols, and Much More
With new episodes of the ABC fantasy series Once Upon A Time back on the air, things will start ramping up rather quickly for the residents of Storybrooke. As these Fairy Tale characters learn to adjust to their lives in the quiet, little New England town, they will learn that there are things even more evil than they had ever imagined.During this recent interview, show creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz talked about how long it will be before Regina (Lana Parrilla) realizes what Cora (Barbara Hershey) is up to, what’s in store for Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and Belle (Emilie de Ravin), whether or not Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) will stay reunited for awhile, how Emma (Jennifer Morrison) is coping with the new elements of her life, what’s to come for Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), the addition of Ethan Embry and Downton Abbey star Lesley Nichols in mysterious roles, and when viewers might see the character of Ariel make an appearance. Check out what they had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers.
How long will you be stringing along the Cora (Barbara Hershey) storyline, until Regina (Lana Parrilla) figures it out?
ADAM HOROWITZ: Things with that storyline will progress rather quickly.
What’s in store for Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and Belle (Emilie de Ravin)?
EDWARD KITSIS: You’re going to actually see a lot of Rumple and Belle, coming up. The second half of the season, he’s going to collect that favor from Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and he’s going to go in search of his son. He and Belle are definitely going to face challenges. What’s interesting is that you’re also going to see Rumple change for her. As we all know, sometimes that’s hard.
HOROWITZ: And Belle is going to find new obstacles and challenges.
Now that Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) have been reunited again, will they finally have more than five minutes together?
KITSIS: Yes! It’s fun to see them together again. They are figuring out their new role, being together, being in Storybrooke and being Emma’s parents, even though they are the same age.
HOROWITZ: The first half of the season was really them coming to terms with their memories coming back, and all that. Now, going forward, it’s about, what does this mean, being a family, with these memories and having this strange familial relationship. And what do they want now? What does that mean, in these completely different circumstances from anything they ever expected?
Should viewers be worried about who it was that Cora really killed?
HOROWITZ: You should only worry about it, in so much as here’s a woman who doesn’t really care about who she kills.
KITSIS: If we had an alternate universe, we would be able to show that guy and his family. But to Cora, he’s just some schmuck she found.
HOROWITZ: She literally took a random Storybrooke resident and killed him.
KITSIS: I would look at it more as a commitment to excellence. Cora is focused and she’s committed. She saw her daughter upset, but not broken. She said she would come back and break her, and she did. That’s love.
With the warning of consequences, how will Emma’s use of magic play out in the coming episodes?
HOROWITZ: Well, it’s obviously a new element that’s been introduced and is something we’re going to explore and discover. How it’s going to play out, we’re not going to tell you. We want you to experience that on the show.
Is it too big of a deal to kill off any of your main characters, at this point?
HOROWITZ: We can kill off anyone!
KITSIS: I think death is a big deal, obviously. Killing off a main character is something we did with Sheriff Graham (Jamie Dornan), and I still get death threats about that. What does Cora need? She needs information. If you come to this strange land that you’ve never been to, a psychiatrist is perfect. He knows secrets and he knows how things run. Gold has gone to him. Henry has gone to him. It’s more valuable to her, to have him alive right now. But, you never know what’s going to happen.
In terms of the Rumplestiltskin and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) storyline, what can you tease about that?
KITSIS: They’re going to get into it soon. Very soon.
What can say about Ethan Embry’s upcoming role?
KITSIS: It’s really good.
HOROWITZ: He’s great, and you’ll see him soon. That’s pretty much all we want to say. But, we’re very happy to have him and we’re really pleased with his work.
KITSIS: This will help, his character’s name is “Mysterious Stranger.” He’ll be both mysterious and strange. He’ll get a name pretty soon, and we’re excited to tell that story, as well.
HOROWITZ: The less said about Ethan Embry, the better. In general.
What’s to come for Hook and Emma?
KITSIS: It’s hard to deny the handsomeness of Hook. The real question is, is he going to lose the guy-liner in Storybrooke? And the answer is no. Emma is going to find herself with a few choices this season. In all life, there are the people that are right for you and there are the people that are wrong for you, and then there are the people that you just choose. Emma is going to face all those things. We’ll see what happens.
Will Henry (Jared Gilmore) interact with his birth father?
KITSIS: I would be really disappointed, if we went this season and we didn’t show that. That would suck!
How quickly will you revisit Mr. Gold’s search for his son?
KITSIS: Pretty quickly.
HOROWITZ: Now that everybody is back in town, there are new issues to deal with, with Cora and Hook, but Mr. Gold is pretty determined.
KITSIS: I would say it will be within the first five episodes coming up.
So, they will find a cure to cross over the border of Storybrooke without losing their memories?
KITSIS: Well, perhaps. If Gold’s son is not in Storybrooke, I’m not sure how he would find him, if they didn’t.
Can you talk about the men in Emma’s life and when we might see Graham, Neal and/or August (Eion Bailey)?
KITSIS: Well, Graham is dead and if we brought him back, everyone would say that we are messing with continuity, so we don’t want to do that. What’s interesting is that the love of Emma’s life last year was Henry. This year, we actually met the one person she’s fallen in love with. Hook is obviously eye-candy. I don’t know if she would stare at him and think that he would be a great father for Henry, but he might be fun in Vegas. So, what’s interesting about Emma is that, now that she’s found her family and the shock of, “They’re the same age as me,” has worn off, they’re starting to become a family and they’re starting settle down. A lot of the anger and walls that she has put up throughout her life are going to be able to maybe be able to be broken, but not as quickly as you’d like. There’s still healing to do, and that includes her heart. So, it’s a matter of who wins it.
Will August return this season?
KITSIS: Perhaps. We are hoping to have him back.
HOROWITZ: August is an important part of the fabric of the story.
What role will Lesley Nicol, from Downton Abbey, be playing?
KITSIS: We’re all big Downton Abbey fans. She has a connection to Snow White and her family, and that will be explored in Episode 15.
Will you ever have Ariel on the show?
HOROWITZ: We hope.
KITSIS: Probably not this season. We’ve taken a lot of toys off the shelf, so we’re probably not going to see her this year. We do have a plan for her, if there is a Season 3.
HOROWITZ: Ariel is a character that we love. We have a story in mind, but we don’t want to overload with too many characters at once.
Are there other characters like that, that you are planning on having show up?
HOROWITZ: There are a lot of characters that we’re excited about, but none that we’re ready to tease. It’s fun to bring in new characters and play with them and see how they interact with the characters on our show. But, we have this core group that we love so much, that are the heart of the show, and we always try to keep the focus on them.
KITSIS: There are characters and backstories that we haven’t gotten to yet. There was some stuff that we came up with last year, but we held off until this year.
HOROWITZ: There will be some characters that we don’t get to this year.
When will Mulan (Jamie Chung) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger) return?
KITSIS: Mulan will be in the [next] episode. Aurora and Mulan are off to save Philip, and we are hoping to return to that, at some point this year. But, for the first batch of upcoming episodes, we’re focusing on the Charmings, the Rum-Belles and the Cora and Regina family. Family dynamics is really what’s going on.
HOROWITZ: Now, we’re really focused on being in Storybrooke where we have all our players back together, and what’s going to happen when they are all ping-ponging off each other. From Rumple to Regina to Snow to Emma, their interests are often in conflict.
Does Regina have a next move, or is she laying low?
KITSIS: She’s laying low and she has a next move. She is doing both. The real question is, how persuasive is Cora. We know she has a commitment to excellence, so the question is, for somebody who has been off magic, will they return?
Will Emma get stuck in situations where she has to use her magic?
HOROWITZ: Emma’s magic, or her abilities with magic, is something that we obviously want to explore. It’s not about trying to come up with situations where she needs to use magic. The larger thing with Emma is that, now that she’s back and now that she’s with her family, it’s about really looking at herself and seeing who she is.
KITSIS: Magic, to her, is frightening. She just realized, a little bit ago, that this was all real, and she just got back from this crazy land. I think it frightens her to realize that this magic is inside her. So, I think you’ll see her using it when she needs to, as opposed to going out and doing birthday parties.
Does that create any conflict with Henry, since he’s so anti-magic?
KITSIS: He’s anti bad magic. Now that magic has been brought to Storybrooke and there are people that use it in his life, how does he feel about that? That’s actually something that’s going to get explored, towards the end of the season.
Once Upon A Time airs on Sunday nights on ABC.

"We're going to show you some things in our world that you didn't even think were an option," executive producer Edward Kitsis says. Will we see flashbacks to other lands — say, Oz? Kitsis remains coy. "[They'll] center on our characters, but in surprising ways."
