Once Upon a Time
Will Emma & Co take a trip to
Wonderland? Whatever happened to Maleficent?
Now that
Once Upon a Time is
back, TVGuide.com decided it's time for our ninth Lightning Round with
the brain trust behind ABC's fairy-tale drama, executive producers
Adam Horowitz and
Edward Kitsis.
Lightning Round 8: Once Upon a Time bosses answer your burning questions
We grabbed
your fan questions off Twitter and hit up
Horowitz and Kitsis for a quick round of scoop, in which the producers
had the option to answer, "Yes," "No" or "Can't Answer." Some of their
answers, and possible non-answers, are pretty telling, so check them out
below:
Will any of the Once cast cross to Wonderland or vice versa?
Edward Kitsis: There will be a couple of the
Once casters in
Wonderland at various points, but it will not be like a traditional spin-off where the Drummonds drop Mrs. Garrett off.
Adam Horowitz: There will be some floating back and forth.
Will we see more flashbacks to when Regina (Lana Parrilla) was raising Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin)?
Horowitz: Yes.
Kitsis: There are flashbacks to the time where she was living with Snow.
Will we ever see the Mad Hatter (Sebastian Stan) again?
Horowitz: We hope so.
Kitsis: We would love to have Sebastian Stan, but he's very busy.
Horowitz: He's fighting Captain America.
Kitsis:
No one wants him back more than us. Sebastian knows we have an open
door for him and we'll write him in to anything. It's just a matter of
his schedule, and his schedule is pretty tight, so I don't know if we
can work it out this season.
Once Upon a Time Postmortem: Will Emma & Co. be able to save Henry?
Will we see flashbacks into Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) life in the foster care system?
Horowitz and Kitsis: Maybe.
Will we see the Sleeping Beauty/Maleficent story line?
Kitsis:
We're definitely going to get a little more of Sleeping Beauty, but I
don't think we have any plans in the first 11 episodes to do Maleficent
and Sleeping Beauty.
Horowitz: We may get a taste of Maleficent (
Kristin Bauer van Staten) on one of the shows.
Kitsis: Yes. We will definitely get a taste of Maleficent and we'll get to tell you more about Aurora (
Sarah Bolger), Mulan (
Jamie Chung) and Phillip (
Julian Morris).
Will we get flashbacks to Neal's (Michael Raymond-James) life before Manhattan?
Kitsis: Maybe.
Will we get the history of the fairies?
Horowitz: You will get much more about the fairies.
Kitsis: You will get much more insight into how they are, how they live, what their deal is.
Will we get to see more of August (Eion Bailey)?
Horowitz: Maybe.
Will Rose McGowan be back as Cora?
Kitsis: I hope so. Every day all we do is think about how do we get her back? Absolutely. We definitely have to have her back.
Horowitz: There are plans in place.
Kitsis: She's so good.
Once Upon a Time bosses tease the dark trip to Neverland
Is Ursula someone we already know?
Horowitz: Can't answer.
Will we ever find out what happened to Belle's (Emilie de Ravin) mom or Hook's (Colin O'Donoghue) dad?
Kitsis: Perhaps.
Horowitz: Maybe they're the same person. [
Laughs]
Will we see the Darlings again?
Horowitz and Kitsis: Yes.
Could Pan (Robbie Kay) ultimately be a good guy?
Horowitz: Anyone could be a good guy.
Kitsis: Depends on how you look at it.
Horowitz: If you ask Pan, he would say he's definitely a good guy.
