ABC Announces 2015 Fall Schedule + New Season Press Releases | Spoilers

Welcome to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won't show up on your GPS, but it's a magical place to visit. Reality and myth merged after Emma broke Regina's curse, which had deprived the fairy tale characters of their memories and trapped them in our modern world. When they finally regained their identities, our heroes were dismayed to discover that they weren't transported back to Fairy Tale Land. To make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin - aka Mr. Gold - decided to escalate his power struggle with Regina by introducing magic into the town. But this is our world, and magic always has a tendency to yield unfathomable consequences.

general season 5 spoilers
5A will have 10 episodes, 5B will have 12 episodes
  • How much will we see Maleficent and Lily on the new season of Once Upon a Time? — Jaimie
    Because the focus is on Emma becoming the Dark One — did you see the awesome shots of the Dark Swan? — the hunt for Lily’s father will take a backseat for at least the first five episodes. “We intend to tell that story at some point this season,” EP Edward Kitsis says. “We set it up for a reason. That is one we are definitely intending to do.” Spoiler Room ~ July 3, 2015
  • Any scoop on Once Upon a Time? I’m not particular, I’ll take anything! –Allison
    I’m hearing that the season opener, not unexpectedly, will pick up right where the finale left off, with Emma having vanished after taunting the disembodied Darkness with the Dark One’s dagger. Where exactly the Savior was transported to, however, thus far remains a closely guarded secret (but hey, that’s what Comic-Con is for, amiright?) Also, it will be sooner rather than later that we meet King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. | TVLine 6/29
  • When will you be posting #EWHotSeat for Once Upon a Time? — Andy
    You’ll have to wait patiently because Hot Seat won’t be coming out until Comic-Con. But I’m feeling generous, so how about a little sneak peek? When I asked the guys whether Zelena’s baby will be born this season, EP Edward Kitsis answered with a definitive…. yes! Poor Regina. That is one messed up family tree. | EW - 6/26/2015

"Our show is for believers. We wanted to make this show about hope and not be cynical—which is tough in today’s world when usually anything that is cool is cynical. We wanted people once a week to feel the way I felt when I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the boy got the golden ticket. For me that personally was important. I like that feeling and it’s important. Henry embodies that."
- Eddie Kitsis from Neil Landau’s 'The TV Showrunner’s Roadmap’

Thank you for opening! Bringing last post over

I was watching the panel and Rob kind of talked of Rumple and Gold separately, like Rumple was somewhere dealing with no power when Gold slept. Any thoughts?

Might be!

Rumple's mind might be trapped somewhere. Maybe he is in a limbo where he needs to find the will to live.

I wonder if Emma might be in the same place since she it seems she came across Rumple and Merida.

MAYBE Emma is actually within the dagger and Rumple's conscious is there too?
A&E did say her transformation would be very different than Rumple's. Maybe it's happening within the dagger.

What I find most interesting about Merida is that she is the first character I can think of not directly based off a legend, well known public domain story, or a Disney Animation film, since Brave was technically a Pixar film.

I wouldn't be surprised if A&E first thought of introducing Rumple's mother as part of his story this season and then as they were thinking more about her character they decided it would be an opportunity to introduce an already known Disney character.

What an overcrowded dagger I like the idea of Emma and Rumple being trapped somewhere together though, I love their interaction and connection so many possibilities still, hoping some good spoilers come out of the single sessions!

Interesting that the spring premier is the 100th episode instead of the winter finale ...

Well since they count Smash the Mirror as one oversize episode, and each season had 22 episodes, it means we've had 88 episodes air. Then 11 episodes in the first half of the season would bring it up to 99 by the end of the season. So it makes sense for the Spring premiere to be number 100.

Adam had tweeted previously that it would be 5x11

Breathe a sigh of relief:

Whoa...well so much for all that speculation. Shocking though that they essentially lied and said the casting was for Rumple's mom when it was really for Merida. They should have just not said anything...

Lol, well "sigh of relief" for some. Some of us are really disappointed that Rumple's mom won't be part of his story this season since we were looking forward to it for several weeks.
