Master storytellers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz ("Lost," "Tron: Legacy") invite everyone to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won't show up on one's GPS, but it's a place where magic is coming!

To ensure that no one in fairytale land – especially Snow White – had any more "happily ever afters," Evil Queen Regina cast a curse which trapped the fairytale characters, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Although still alive, they had no knowledge of their former selves and were sleepwalking through life – ageless -- for 28 years, until a savior arrived in the form of Emma Swan. Unbeknownst to Emma, she was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, who had whisked her out of fairytale land and into our world as an infant to save her from the curse. Abandoned as a baby, Emma's life was anything but magical; her last job was as a bail bondsperson, but she mostly drifted without much of a life plan. When her 10-year-old son, Henry -- whom she had given up for adoption years earlier -- appeared on her doorstep with a book of fairytales and a wild story about how Emma was the progeny of fairytale characters trapped in a town called Storybrooke, she thought he was crazy. But curiosity got the better of her, and when she brought Henry back to the town – where Regina, ever the control freak, had made herself mayor and was also Henry's adoptive mother -- Emma soon discovered that Storybrooke was more than it seemed. Over time she came to believe the stories were true, began to see cracks in the curse, and was finally able to break it.

Reality and myth were merged as the fairytale characters began awakening, once the curse was lifted, and remembered who they were. But to their dismay they were not transported back to fairytale land. And to make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin – aka Mr. Gold – in an effort to gain the upper hand in his power struggle with Regina, introduced magic into the town. In fairytales magic has its place, but in our world it can have unfathomable consequences. Now the fairytale characters must contend with magic in their quest to find a way home, as new fairytale characters are revealed, old acquaintances are revisited, and some we had come to believe could be trusted will turn against their own kind.

"Once Upon a Time" stars Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Lana Parrilla as Evil Queen/Regina, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming/David, Emilie de Ravin as Belle, Jared S. Gilmore as Henry Mills, Meghan Ory as Red Riding Hood/Ruby and Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold.

SEASON 2 SPOILERS

• We will find out about the book and who wrote it.
• There are “major plans” for Cora this season (possible 3-episode arc)
• Question: I have a burning Once Upon a Time question — was the outside world affected when the curse was broken? —Jen
  Ausiello: That’s what EP Adam Horowitz referred to as “an excellent question” when it was lobbed to him at Comic-Con over the weekend.
  “I think the best way to answer that,” he responded, “is to say that that will be explicated rather quickly.” Explicate: To analyze and develop (an idea or principle) in detail. (Source)
• Question: Any scoop on August from Once Upon a Time? Please don’t say they’re not bringing him back. —Rae
  Ausiello: “We are definitely going to tell what happened to Pinocchio,” EP Edward Kitsis assured us at Con. “The last we saw, he was wood.”
  Added Horowitz: “We gotta figure out what happened to him. We started the story and we intend to finish it.” (source)
• Alexa: What's next for Snow and Charming on OUAT?! Please tell me they won't be getting new love interests!
  Relax! It seems like the show's creators are more interested in exploring the relationship between the couple and their daughter than any prospective love interests. "There's a lot of challenges, in terms of this new relationship with their daughter. Rather than focusing on last season, where it was they didn't know who each other were and whether they'll get together and will we overcome the Kathryn of it all, this year it's a whole different set of challenges that this new familial relationship presents," Adam Horowitz explains. (Source)
• Loved the Once Upon a Time midseason finale. What's coming up when the show returns? — Joan
  NATALIE: The Charming family has been reunited, but look for more bad news on the horizon. When we asked Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison about the joyous reunion, they both offered up ominous answers that may or may not have to do with the arrival of Hook and Cora. "It's, of course, short-lived because yet another obstacle is going to be thrust between all of these characters," Goodwin says, with Morrison adding, "New terrible things need to happen for us to work out." Any guesses as to what's in store for the Storybrooke gang?
• COMING UP NEXT | "No one's going to be happy" about the arrival of the pirate brig's passengers, says Jennifer Morrison. "It's too much of a threat to everything that we care about." Speaking in character, she adds, "I don’t really know that much about all these people from this other land, but I do know that those two are dangerous, so I'm certainly not going to want them anywhere near my kid." Also, as revealed in recent weeks: Mulan, Prince Phillip and Smee will each make encores; viewers will meet Dr. Frankenstein's father and brother (played by Gregory Itzin and Chad Collins); Emma's baby daddy Neal Cassidy will be seen again; and Ethan Embry (Can't Hardly Wait) and Sonequa Martin-Green (The Walking Dead) will surface in secret roles. (Source)
• Will anything surprise us about the upcoming episodes of Once Upon a Time? — Megan
  NATALIE: We know that the flashbacks lead to Regina enacting the curse, but coming trips to the past may surprise you. "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." (Source)
• Now that Once Upon a Time‘s Hook is out in the open, will we get to see him interact with the other residents of Storybrooke? –Stefanie
  You mean, presuming he survived getting mowed down by The Outsider, right? (Of course he lives.) Well, to perhaps – perhaps! – answer your question, I’ll offer up this scooplet. “Emma’s love life is going to get really complicated,” series cocreator Adam Horowitz told me last week. In fact, across Storybrooke at large, he said, “The permutations of romance will continue to turn as we move forward.” (Source)
• Ausiello: Yes! While speaking with Josh Dallas about this week’s David/Charming-heavy episode, Matt Mitovich picked his brain about Brothers & Sisters alum John Pyper-Ferguson’s character, who thus far has only been described as the widowed father to a young boy. “I can’t tell you anything,” Dallas hedged. “Just know that he’s an outsider.” Speaking of outsiders, Dallas was slightly more forthcoming with a status report on wayward driver Greg Mendell, played by Ethan Embry. “In this Sunday’s episode, you see Greg grilling Belle about what she actually saw that night at the car accident,” he said, musing: “Hmm, why does he want to know…?” (Source)
• What time will the Once Upon a Time Lightning Round article be posted? —Hannah JoAnn, via Twitter
  NATALIE: Soon, Hannah. Better yet, because I'm feeling generous today, I will give you a sneak preview! Will poor Belle ever get her memories back? The answer is... yes! "If it was permanent, that would be the most bleak end," executive producer Edward Kitsis says, noting that how Gold helps her gets her memory back will certainly be a story line to watch out for. Let's take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief. Good? OK. (Source)
• Any plans for Mulan to return to Once? — Alyson
  “We’re not going to rule anything out and there are some surprises we want to keep in store for characters who may be coming back later in the season,” says executive producer Adam Horowitz. “So we’re not going to rule anything out nor will we confirm or deny.” Source
• Now that Once Upon a Time‘s Emma has disappointed Henry by lying to him about his father, will Regina have a chance to really reconnect with her son? –Vicki
  That is totally where I thought this was going, too, but it appears we’re both wrong. As Jennifer Morrison explained to me, “Unfortunately for Regina at this point, she is so wrapped up in her own sort of mess with her mother being in town and the complications of that relationship, and sort of her failing at trying to not use magic, she sort of misses seeing her opportunity [with Henry]. She does make a move to get him back, but she doesn’t necessarily make the most strategic move, based on the circumstances.” (Source)
• Once Upon a Time | Since many – myself included – have speculated that Cora cast some sort of spell on her daughter, and that’s why Regina seems to have abandoned her redemption tour, I asked the series’ creators if we are onto something. Short answer: Nope. As Eddy Kitsis reminds, “In Episode 9, we saw Regina say, ‘I have to kill you, Mother. Your grip on my heart is too strong.’ So while the audience is right to be wary of Cora, and Regina is right to be wary of her mother’s true intentions, we can never forget how important the need to get your mom’s approval and love is.” Adam Horowitz meanwhile offered this teaser for fans of Lana Parrilla’s ever-unpredictable alter ego: “We’re going to see some Regina unleashed!” Source
• OMG, is Once Upon a Time going to Neverland?! —Jayma
  NATALIE: Based on the final two episode titles, it certainly sounds like it. But I have some bad news about the finale. If last year's was about breaking the curse, this year's is a little more ominous than that. "At the end of last year, Mr. Gold said magic was coming. Now that magic is here, it always comes with a price. In the finale, we'll see that price," executive producer Edward Kitsis tells me. Does that mean someone is going to die? Executive producer Adam Horowitz adds, "We should always be worried about death, but I would say that there are things to be worried about that you are probably not worried about yet, but you will be!" Source
• Will Neal’s fiancée play a role in future Once Upon a Time episodes? –Devin
  Yes — though probably not in quite the way you expect. And that’s all I’ll say, for now, on the matter… so here’s series cocreator Eddy Kitsis, pre-PaleyFest: “Tamara’s not going anywhere anytime soon…. We’re very excited for the audience to see what she’s all about.” (Ooh, Devin, you came so close to asking the question I have a tantalizing response for. Maybe next week….) Source.
• I know we’re going to see Regina and Snow feuding more than ever now that Snow killed Cora, but are we going to get to see Regina mourn a little? -- Trish
  For sure. In fact, Lana Parrilla tells me that even though we’ll see Regina having a bit of a “one track mind” when it comes to revenge, “you’re definitely going to see [her pain.] There’s a moment of grieving and mourning her mother’s passing,” she says. Source

OTHER SPOILERS

• Any chance Maleficent will return next season on Once Upon a Time? — Rosie
  NATALIE: Seeing as Sleeping Beauty was just added to the second season, it's likely we haven't seen the last of Maleficent.
  Kristin Bauer may have Rumplestiltskin to thank for that. "I was hoping when that mist strolled into town that that meant that anything is possible," the True Blood vixen tells us. (Source)

PAST THREAD

DigificWriter

Carried over from the last thread:

The copyright status for the Peter Pan property in the U.S. is disputed, but given that Disney has already demonstrated that they're not above ignoring the issue with the publishing of the Starcatchers novels, and the fact that they've already used the character of Hook tells me that they'll use and draw on whatever elements from not only the original stories but also their previous adaptations of it as they see fit.

Krista_N

TFTNT!

The way I see it it's the writers right to change whatever they want to change, but it's the viewers right to disagree or dislike those changes.

cherrios

Ok, so I have been watching the promo and the clip where Emma and Neal talk Tamara over and over. Neal's place was completely Neal, I didn't see any traces of Tamara at all. Which probably means they are not living together. And when Emma and Neal were at the car, Neal said it belonged to a friend at first. He didn't say anything about a fiancee. But Tamara seems to be very invested in him, we also know she has an agenda. And she's saying hello to someone in the woods.

So maybe Neal is Tamara's wish, what if she was a fairy tale creature. Like Tinkerbell or Tiger Lilly or some other fairy or someone else. And she fell in love with Neal when he was a lost boy or someone else in one of his adventures. But she couldn't have him then and perhaps he had moved on. But the absence made the heart grow fonder and all that. Maybe she cast a spell or made a deal with Rumple (he didn't know who she wanted at the time), or even Hook. To be human with Neal and for him to be hers.

If she's in league with Greg, all I will be able to hear in my head is "it's a small world after all." And then I would wonder if she got close to Neal because she knew he was from that world? But then how would she know that he was? What would she have to gain from working with Greg?

I wonder if Hook takes off with Belle while she's Lacey. Kinda like he did with Milah or just takes her captive. Henry wanting to be a hero, tries to save her. He either gets captive too or becomes a stowaway. He ends up in Neverland and befriends the lost boy. Enjoying the freedom of being one without a very complicated family tree to mess things up.

ElizaSparrow

TFTNT Tara, I really have to thank you for opening all of them so quickly

About the new Sneak peeks:

Sneak peek 2: at Snow apologizing for slapping Marco... As he said, he "deserved" it, Emma wouldn't have been alone if Snow came with her through the wardrobe in the first place. Anyone in Snow's place would have wanted to punch him in the face too... So I don't see what is so "evil" about it...

About this sneak peek:
at Neal bringing Tamara and "not thinking" ^^ But it's cute how he says "I need her"!

Supernatural, Smash, Grimm Spoilers — Once Upon a Time, Grey’s Anatomy - TVLine

About this interview: I REALLY hope that NEITHER Hook nor Neal are Peter Pan, I personally think Neal DOESN'T fit the PP character at all, and Hook as Peter Pan would also kind of ruin the purpose of the story for me so I'm glad other people think that way too

I agree

It DIDN'T work out well for me at all As well as Neal being Bae... So I really hope they won't go there with Hook being Pan too

Miss Cam

Thanks for the new thread, Tara!

Belleislove

I like your thoughts on Tamara, that she made a deal with Rumple, how ironic, to be human. I think obviously she's up to no good and I don't like her already, lol.

I don't think Hook takes off with Belle. I do think Henry will end up in Neverland. But I doubt Belle is involved at all. She'll get her memories back and be stuck in the library all the time and Gold and Neal will probably spend half the season in Neverland.

I don't really like the Hook is Peter Pan theory. It's a twist, BUT Peter Pan and Hook were enemies and fought each other so that's too much of a twist, imo.

The Greg stuff is finally interesting. i thought he was creepy at first but now I think that's a good story. Maybe Belle will get a little airtime helping him find his father, since she and Greg have met. I just wonder what Regina did with him.

And enough with Snow thinking she has a black heart. That's ridiculous. Cora was evil and psychotic.

MaryLouMoriarty

Tftnt!!

Now that would be tragic; if the writers really did that then I would just lmao. Hook kidnapping her would make more sense, but I don't think he'll go after Belle, since he has already succeeded in keeping her and Rumple apart. It would be redundant, imo.

I thought Jane hinted that Tamara wasn't a fairytale character.

Belleislove

I just have to laugh at Hook.

He got rid of Belle's memories and her new personality will end up with Mr. Gold anyway and she'll get her memories back at some point. So failed there.

Stabbed Gold and he's all better.

Wile Coyote must be getting very frustrated, LOL.

ElizaSparrow

But at least he didn't kill her, which makes him still a good man deep down, so I would rather see him fail multiple time at killing Rumple and find out who he really is in the end, which is a that he is a good person IMO.

semmanclana

Its not that hook didnt kill Belle, he FAILED at killing her. Like her fails at everything else lol

Belleislove

WEll, I love him, whether he's a good man deep down or not. BUT I don't think as my Belle said, that his heart is truly rotten. I think he puts on a big show.

And I don't like what he did to Belle and Gold, my favorites, but I have to laugh at how nothing he plans on works out, LOL.

I saw someone on another board saying Hook may have done Gold a favor, about Lacey, lol, if she's as sexual as they seem to be saying.

I also wonder about what was said about seeing Emma do magic would light a fire under Gold or something like that. What does that mean?

He's going to want to teach Emma magic? He has his son and Belle to concentrate on. So I don't know why he would take time out of that to hone Emma's magic skills. Was anything more said about that?

MaryLouMoriarty

Hahaha, true. But I wouldn't say that I laugh at him.. I'm laughing with him. LOL

He's just trying to be a good wingman..

Maud&Danny

He didn't kill her? He tried but failed. XD

semmanclana

The spoiler that came out made it seem like who she is isnt really important. Its what shes up to that is. So i dont think shes a FTC.

I'm starting to think shes "HER" Remember how she bumps into Neal right after his talk with August. Are we suppose to think that was by accident. I say planned for sure.
