OUAT S&S #429: "Wherever there's injustice in the world there's always a fairy." ~Rumple
 


Welcome to Storybrooke, a small town in Maine that you won’t find on any map. This town is full of magic, populated by fairytale characters once cursed by the Evil Queen Regina to live in our world—deprived of their memories and happy endings. Until Emma Swan came to town and changed everything. With the help of her son, Henry, Emma embraced her true identity as the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming—the Savior destined to break the Curse. But even after returning everyone’s memories, Emma’s mission was far from over. With the Curse broken, Mr. Gold (aka Rumplestiltskin) was free to bring magic to Storybrooke. And magic ALWAYS comes with a price…

When Regina split herself in an attempt to eliminate her evil half, she unwittingly released the Evil Queen. Now the Evil Queen is back and ready to leave a trail of destruction in her wake. Meanwhile, Regina is quickly learning that destroying her dark side won’t be that easy, especially when dealing with the consequences of having unleashed the Queen on Storybrooke. Emma learns a life-altering secret that could have serious consequences for her family and loved ones. While the heroes grapple with what Emma is confronting, Henry welcomes the new arrivals from the Land of Untold Stories by pledging to help them complete their tales. But when Snow White, Prince Charming, Regina, Captain Hook and Zelena become entwined in these untold tales, they find themselves haunted by their own unfinished pasts. Meanwhile, after handing Storybrooke over to Mr. Hyde, Mr. Gold continues his quest to wake Belle from her self-induced sleeping curse, in hopes of reuniting with both her and their unborn child.

“Once Upon a Time” stars Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen/Regina, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming/David, Emilie de Ravin as Belle, Colin O’Donoghue as Hook, Jared S. Gilmore as Henry Mills, Rebecca Mader as Wicked Witch/Zelena and Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold.

Adam Horowitz & Eddy Kitsis interviews



cast interviews


casting & guest stars

general season 6 spoilers
  • I’m bummed Once Upon a Timeabout the Once Upon a Time winter finale (airing this Sunday), because it looks like Emma and Hook won’t be together in the fairytale world. Got any good CaptainSwan scoop? —Alison
    “Whether Emma and Hook are together in the winter finale isn’t the question to be asking,” responds co-creator Adam Horowitz. “The real question to ask is: Will the two of them be embarking on an epic adventure filled with romance, danger and passion in the second half of the season? And the answer is… yes.” TVLine - 12/1/16
  • Pretty pretty please, something about Once Upon a Time? Particularly about Rumbelle? —Valeria
    As relayed by yours truly in this week’s Facebook Live edition of “Ask Ausiello,” Onceco-creator Adam Horowitz had this to say about the piece I did juxtaposing Disney’s Beauty and the Beast trailer with the sad, sad state of their Storybrooke iterations: “The audience doesn’t know where we’re headed with Belle and Rumple, but no matter how dark things get, the show doesn’t go bleak. It’s still about hope, and it’s always darkest before the dawn.” If you are now thinking, as I am, “Gee, ‘dawn’ then must be right around the corner,” I am hearing the next episode, airing Nov. 27, is in fact quite a game changer for Rumple and/or Belle. TVLine - 11/15/16
  • Question: Any hints about who’s in the hood on Once Upon a Time, killing Emma? —Courtney
    Ausiello: Well, if you re-watch that fleeting vision very, very carefully, and take note of the hooded character’s height and build… you will glean nothing, actually. “It was a stand-in used for that scene,” and not the actual actor that will eventually be revealed as wearing the hood, Colin O’Donoghue confirms. As for whether he or any other cast members know the identity of Emma’s killer, if only becayse the Once bosses have made it pretty clear they had someone locked in from go, “We might have an idea…,” O’Donoghue teased, “but we’re not gonna tell you!” TVLine ~ 11/4/16
  • Is Charming really going down a dark path of vengeance on Once Upon a Time? — Brett
    There’s potential, but OUAT won’t pick up that story immediately. “We know he’s tempted,” EP Edward Kitsis tells me. “It’s not something that’s going to come to the forefront right away. It’s something he is clearly thinking about. I would be really disappointed if we didn’t pick it up and at least find out the answer by the end of the season.” EP Adam Horowitz concurs: “That story is not over. David has made a decision by not burning [the evidence] to pursue it. How he pursues it and when he pursues it, we’ll see as the season progresses. But he’s certainly wrestling with something, and how it impacts inversely in his relationships with Snow and his family is part of the story, as well as the ultimate answer to the mystery.” EW ~ 10/28/16
  • Is anything coming up for Once Upon a Time‘s Snow and Charming? —Camilla
    And how! With the Evil Queen poised to make a move on the person she hates most, “the shared heart between Snow and Charming comes into play,” series co-creator Adam Horowitz teases, “as they are bonded in this new battle.”
    Might we see Belle’s mother again on Once Upon a Time? —Betsy
    I presented your Q to the show bosses, and there are “no immediate plans” to revisit that character. TVLine ~ 10/27/16
  • Question: Do you have any Once Upon a Time spoilers that concern “Snowing”? —Lyss
    Ausiello: In addition to the well-reported drama to be drummed up by the Evil Queen, Snow and David will at least attempt to get a better bead on their own “happily ever after,” now that Neverland, memory wipes and Hell are behind them. In Season 6, “They’re back in Storybrooke, trying to make a life for themselves there,” says co-creator Adam Horowitz, “so we’re trying to dig more into what daily life is, what normal is.” And as that regards the princess and prince, “In an early episode, you’re going to see Snow White ask the question, ‘What is normal? And how do we get back to it?’ That’s something that she and Charming strive toward.” TVLine ~ 9/26/2016
  • What other news characters are we going to meet on Once Upon a Time besides the Count, Aladdin, Jasmine and Captain Nemo? — Jose
    When Cinderella returns in season 6, we’re going to meet her evil stepmom and stepsisters. Much like the first time she appeared on the show, Cinderella’s story will be a reflection of what’s going on with Emma. “That was Emma’s first happy ending she actually returned,” EP Edward Kitsis says. “That was the very first time that Emma, at the end of it, decided to stay in Storybrooke. She saw herself through Cinderella. Now we’re in a situation where what if someone could undo all the happiness you’ve done, would your life matter? [She’s] faced with somebody out there that’s trying to undo the ones [she has] done.” EW ~ 9/23/2016

  • Once Upon a Time Mega Buzz: What "Big Secret" Is Emma Keeping from Hook?
  • What’s next for Once Upon a Time‘s Hook and Emma? —Allison
    In the Season 6 premiere, “We pick up pretty directly from where we left them at the end of last season, where for the first time Emma professed her love without the duress of a life-or-death situation,” co-creator Adam Horowitz reminds. “Of course, life-or-death situations come pretty quickly on our show, so that will change.” As EP Eddy Kitsis in turn notes, “No relationship is a fairytale. So if people are expecting no drama, we hope that they will enjoy what we are showing.” TVLINE ~ 9/14/2016
  • Anything on the Regina-Emma-Snow relationship on Once Upon a Time? — Mara
    It certainly won’t be easy with the Evil Queen waging war on Storybrooke. “You get to see that this really is a family that has come together,” EP Edward Kitsis says. “Henry’s dream in the beginning was to bring everyone together, and in a lot of ways he has, but this year they’re going to be tested from their past. If there’s one thing the Evil Queen hates it’s Snow White — Snow White and other people’s happiness.” EW ~ 9/16/16
  • Anything Once Upon a Time related? If you can give me CaptainSwan info, I’ll be grateful. — Shannon
    The show will be diving more into Hook’s past as his relationship with Emma moves forward. “Last year we saw Emma saying I love you to him when they weren’t in any sort of danger,” EP Adam Horowitz says. “Hook is excited to progress that relationship. At the same time, he is on his path of redemption, and we are going to see Hook doing his best to be heroic this year.” TVLine ~ 8/31/2016
  • Do you have any scoop about Snow White and Prince Charming from Once Upon a Time? — SnowingFan
    Would it make you happy if I told you that the OUAT bosses say they want to see a lot of Snow and Charming this year? “Charming has always had questions about his family and his father that he thought were answered,” EP Adam Horowitz says. “Charming’s past becomes something very important to his future. We’re going to see him and Snow embarking on some adventure related to that past, and what that’s going to create for them moving forward, which is some unexpected obstacles to that happy ending they’re all trying to live.” EW ~ 9/02/2016
  • Question: Will Once Upon a Time be giving Rumbelle fans any sweet, pregnancy moments — like discussing names, etc.? —Betsy
    Ausiello: Maybe, eventually. But “the ride there is pretty bumpy,” warns series co-creator Eddy Kitsis. Adam Horowitz meanwhile promises moments of “reminiscing” for the oft-estranged marrieds, “and discussing what it’s going to mean when their child is born.”
  • Question: Will Once Upon a Time give us an explanation for Mr. Gold’s new haircut? —Rebecca
    Ausiello: Though Robert Carlyle was able to lose the mustache he donned when filming this summer’s Trainspotting sequel, his indeed brought Begbie’s cropped ‘do back to Storybrooke. The loss of Rumple’s salt-and-pepper mane “will absolutely be addressed,” says Horowitz. “And the answer isn’t that he went to do Trainspotting 2.” TVLine ~ 8/31/2016
  • Do you have anything on Once Upon a Time? — ButtercupOUAT
    Ask and you shall receive! “We’re going to see Henry back in operation with Emma,” EP Edward Kitsis says. And yes, that does mean there’s a new operation name! “It will be revealed in the premiere,” EP Adam Horowitz says. EW ~ 8/19/16
  • Is there anything Adam Horowitz can tell us about Rumbelle during season 6 of Once Upon a Time? — rumbelletrueluv
    What if I let Emilie de Ravin tell you about Belle getting out of the box? “The way she is extracted, how it happens and the characters that are involved is really cool, and it reveals a lot about her relationship and her past/future,” de Ravin says, noting that the show will explore more of Belle’s independence this season. “It’s been a long time coming. Now that she’s pregnant, and now that she knows that it’s not really just about her anymore, she has to take responsibility for this other little person. That’s making her head spin a little bit with regard to, ‘Okay, I can spend my life trying to fix this person, whether it’s for me or for him, but if it’s affecting someone else now, it’s a game changer.’ It puts a little bit of spanner in the works for their marriage for a bit. There’s some alone time to be had.” EW ~ 7/29/16
  • I’d like some Once Upon a Time spoilers please. — Jane
    The introduction of the Land of Untold Stories basically opens up storytelling avenues to, well, “everyone,” according to Edward Kitsis. “What’s funny is in the pilot if you watch when Emma sees the wolf that stops her from leaving town, the book flips open and we see all these worlds,” Kitsis says. “It’s time to tell new stories, broaden the show and move forward.” As for why these stories have not yet been told, Kitsis points to something Hyde said in the finale: “As he said, I need a place where these stories can play out, which would make me think for some reason they weren’t being played out, they were pushed on pause.” EW ~ 7/8/16
  • Thanks for the Evil Queen scoop! Anything more you can share on Once Upon a Time? — Virginia
    The Land of Untold Stories will provide a new avenue into the characters we’ve come to know and love over the last five seasons. “The intent is that these new characters and new stories are really a reflection on what’s going on inside of our characters,” says EP Adam Horowitz. “With Lana and the Evil Queen, that’s the starkest example, which we’ve already teased. We’re literally going inside her and pulling her apart. There are elements of that that we’re planning to do for each and everyone of the characters.” EW ~ 7/1/16
  • Do you have any scoop on what’s going to happen to Once Upon a Time‘s Belle and Rumple? Will they be going on an adventure for the first time together? —Rebecca
    They will be going on an adventure together… or as “together” as they can be with Belle still stashed inside a decorative container. “Belle is with Rumple — she’s in Pandora’s Box, in the sleeping curse,” says Once co-creator Eddy Kitsis. And as the Season 6 premiere will make clear, Rumple did get said box back, as part of his deal with Mr. Hyde. As for where the “information” Hyde delivered in return will lead the couple, “That will be the mystery that we show you,” Kitsis says. Adds co-creator Adam Horowitz: “What we really focus on at the start is: ‘How the heck does he get her out of the box and wake her?'” TVLine ~ 6/30/16
  • Will any of the untold stories on Once Upon a Time hold a connection to any of the characters? — lennyukpirate1
    That’s TBD, but the arrival of characters from the Land of Untold stories will certainly affect those in Storybrooke. “The condition of life in Storybrooke is very important,” EP Adam Horowitz says. “Hyde’s arrival impacts that. We’re planning to explore a lot of what that’s going to mean for the day-to-day life in Storybrooke.” Adds EP Edward Kitsis: “One of the things that we really want to get back to this year is that season 1 and 2 vibe of small town stories, being in Storybrooke and getting back to Mary Margaret as the teacher, Emma as the sheriff, Grumpy as the janitor.” EW - 6/24/16
  • What will happen to Emma and Hook in season 6 of Once Upon a Time? — Niamh
    If you recall, when Emma and Hook reunited in the finale, there was a wedding dress in the background. Ahead of the Dead of Summerpanel at ATX, I asked the guys point-blank if this means wedding bells will ring in season 6. They stayed very coy on the subject. “I would say you’ll have to watch season 6, you never know what’s going to happen,” EP Edward Kitsis replied. “You never know what’s going to happen with those two.” Fear not, they answered a few other season 6 questions, so check Spoiler Room next week for more! EW - 6/17/16
  • Any news on Once Upon a Time season 6? — Carole
    Aside from the fact that we’ll be getting a double dose of Regina next season, Lana Parrilla has a number of questions about season 6: “Will Baby Robin be magical?” she tells me. “Will Zelena and Regina continue to have a healthy relationship now that they’ve reconciled? Or will Regina end up hating Zelena for being the mother to Robin’s baby? I’m curious to see what’s going to end up happening in that regard. Will she end up growing resentful that she can’t have children, but yet her sister has her boyfriend’s baby? I feel like that’s a story to be told. Are they going to stand side-by-side in a sisterhood or is Regina going to grow resentful overtime?” EW - 6/10/16
  • Once Upon a Time: Dissecting those finale Easter eggs ~ EW 5/17/16
  • Anything Once Upon a Time? — Tranquillity
    Sunday’s episode will provide a sense of the closure, with the two-hour finale kicking off a new story for season 6. “Like every year, the two-hour finale is kind of a different piece than the rest of the season, so in a lot of ways, this weekend is the finale for the Hades arc,” executive producer Edward Kitsis says. “I can say that it will break a few hearts.” As for the actual finale, part of it will take place outside Storybrooke. “As much as they’d like peace and quiet in Storybrooke, fallout from this weekend’s episode causes a character to go rogue in New York City,” Kitsis says. “Once again, the heroes are called upon to save the day.” | EW - 5/6/2016
  • Once Upon a Time’s Belle said she tainted her soul because she saved Rumple. Does she regret it? Does protecting oneself or family really taint their souls? —Rebecca
    I hand-delivered, as I do, your salient Q to the series co-creators, and Eddy Kitsis answered, “Belle is very distraught because she did something that she never ever really wanted to do,” accidentally damning ex-fiance Gaston to the River of Lost Souls. “In that moment, when it was life or death, she chose Rumple, which obviously says something — but whether she wants to admit it or not is another situation. She doesn’t like being put in that situation and she’s upset that she couldn’t figure a way out, because she reacted in a moment and now has to deal with that for the rest of her life.” As for whether having “tainted” her own soul a smidgen might help foster an eventual reconciliation with her Dark One husband, since Belle now stands on less-high ground, Kitsis says, “We are going to have to wait and see what happens to her.” ~ TVLine 04/26/16

kristi_adela 12-01-2016 10:22 PM

Interesting. Judging by the script teases, the sneak peek and everything else I am seeing, most of the action is going to take place between Hook, Emma, Regina and the Evil Queen in Storybrooke. I really think the AU is only going to be a couple of scenes. Probably the nightingale that has been extensively spoiled through photos and the scene of Regina and Emma in the forest. I really think fears of Hook and Emma being separated are unfounded. Then, Emma is back sometime in the spring premier episode. I think Entertainment Weekly is trying to make the AU out to be more than it's actually going to end up being on screen. The whole thing looks like it is more about explaining Robin returning for a few episodes when the show comes back.

scififan2009 12-01-2016 10:23 PM

Hurting Jasmine? Now she's crossed the line.

I thought Gold said he was gonna make her pay.

I don't even know anymore. I guess he has other things on his mind? How do you make someone pay, when they basically can't be harmed? Pay money? He can spin straw into gold, so he doesn't need money. His threats used to mean something. Now, not so much. He's the man behind the curtain, even though in the Once universe, it was Zelena behind the curtain.

scififan2009 12-01-2016 10:47 PM

Maybe he left that sword in the shop for Emma to find.

CityGal 12-01-2016 11:07 PM

Thanks for the new thread :flowers:

Love the title.

Bookworm25 12-01-2016 11:28 PM

I was hoping the AU would take ab it more time, but there are other things

I guess Al and Jass are staying into 6B then? Guest characters are usually gone by then

Emma goes into the wish realm and must be rescued

the "big shocker" is Emma getting stabbed right?

I noticed the sword in the sneak peek is the same once that's used to kill her- it didn't harm Regina but itcut the EQ- so perhaps.... yes, Emma will be stabbed, but she can't die

I'm speculating that the AU last longer than the one winter finale episode. Getting Emma out of the AU is going to be a bit tricky and reading Adam's answers seems to me a larger story twist with AU!Emma adventure in the EF might be at play for a portion of the second half. But I could be way off base. :)

Glad the writers heard it and are making up for it.

Seriously? CS has had a nice engaging story and set up thus far. The story seems to be setting them up for the second half of the season with Emma's story continuing. Even Adam confirmed as much in his recent Q&A response. Unless he's trolling or outright lying which I don't believe, there should be a nice action story for them in the second half. I can't even fathom what there is to complain about from a CS fan's perspective.


Finally, screen time discussions aren't spoilers and isn't appropriate here so drop it.

1. The lack of payoff for the couple. The fact the last finale ended with Emma AGAIN saying I love you after the season we had was horrendous pay off. They should have moved in the finale. The writers knew how badly they screwed that up cause within 3 episodes into S6 they moved them in. It was stupid and should have happened in the finale.

If they don't give us a CS engagement by the end of this season I know many that are gonna quit. Cause it's time, seriously. They're true love, they've gone to hell and back for each other, they live together, it's time. Hopefully they realize their F'up from the last season finale and give us a proper one with an engagement in this finale leading to the wedding in the final season.

2. The lack of storyline for the couple. They have none, could it come back in the next half yes but they have no story now at all.

3. The lack of screentime for the pair. Aside from 3 and 6 there's been barely any CS development at all.

4. The lack of trust in the writers especially when they're once again splitting up CS and they won't be even together in the first half of the AU. Yeah great there's the second part but that's all the way in March and people like to see their favorite characters interact every week. The fact that they're splitting them up for a stupid AU is ridiculous.

5. The overwhelming load of Regina.

6. Hook has zero storyline. He had one in 6 and then that was done and now he hovers in scenes in the background. His storyline with Charming got shelved for the moment cause of the stupid Robin Hood AU crap they decided to plan.

7. THE LACK OF DOMESTIC CS WHICH WE WERE PROMISED! Aside from a make out session on a couch, and a scene where Emma left which ended with Hook and Henry at the breakfast nook we've had zero pay off. Hook and Emma are living together, GREAT! How about instead of using the freaking Granny set they use the CS house for a lot of these scenes. That would be a great way to show us the domestic stuff they promised but that hasn't happened yet.

These writers are HORRIBLE at long game. They get distracted to easily with a shiny new plot device and they always break a lot of their promises. There's tons of distrust between the fans of the show and the writers.

Maybe now you can understand where CS fans are coming from with their distrust for the writers and not believing what Adam and Eddy are saying now. Also all of this is stuff I've seen in the fandom and all IMO are valid points.

I like Hook and Emma. I'm not a huge fan like others are because my favorite pairing is or maybe was Rumbelle.

But honestly, I'm sure there are things the CS fans want but haven't been given and I'm not downplaying anyone's right to criticize or be frustrated. But clearly they are the favored couple on this show.

I certainly have criticized the writing for my couple enough, lol.

But does anyone think the Rumbelle fans like this story? Yeah, they were given a baby. But then they had a six week pregnancy and now the baby is gone, they've been threatening each other and he's been kissing on the EQ. So honestly, it could be soooo much worse for you.

Snowing fans aren't happy that Snow is so out of this story.

You have so much to enjoy and look forward to with your couple. I wish they would give Rumbelle half of what they give to Emma/Hook. I'm not saying this in a mean way but I'm sure the Rumbelle fans and OQ fans both would love to have the Captain Swan story.

My couple has been married for several seasons. They have gotten no domestic scenes. This show has a lot of characters though and I understand there is not a lot of extra time for that. But fluff for all the couples would be nice.

I do agree there has been way, way too much Regina/EQ. This was an ill conceived story from the very start. They could have done so much more with the "untold stories" but instead they decided to literally bombard us with this character (2 characters). I just think that was a very bad decision.

I also agree that Emma/Hook should be at least engaged by now and they should have progressed more in their relationship. I think probably a wedding will be in the series finale.

I'm sorry you feel that way, Radames. I just count my lucky stars that CS are in a good relationship right now.

It could be worse. It could be like OQ that ended because of Robin's death, or RB that just keeps getting worse and worse.

We can't always have everything the way we want it. That's just the gamble any viewer takes with tv shows.

You and I are actually agreeing on something? :thud::)
