"I think Emma and Regina's relationship is a very complicated
one and I think they have more in common than they are
probably willing to admit to themselves or each other."
~ Lana Parrilla



♦ ♦ ♦

"Emma Swan is a deeply damaged woman, and a deeply conflicted woman. She is a survivor, and used to being a loner, and therefore a sucker for the underdog.
Against her better judgement, she will compromise herself to fight for what is right and to help those in need. She is strong and aggressive, but her brokenness
and her emotions are not buried far beneath her tough exterior. He first reaction to most things is anger, but she has spent her life trying to manage her temper.
She is both rash and calculated, and is forced to deal with her instincts to protect her child, a child she believes she is not capable of mothering. In the simplest
form, Emma is a list of contrasting qualities: She is hard and soft; she is intense and easy going; she is strong and vulnerable; she is safe and dangerous; she is
logical and impulsive. It is exciting to play a character that is so deeply conflicted and fiercely compelled to fight for what she believes is right."

~ Jennifer Morrison

"Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most wicked character to play of all?'... It's always been a dream to portray archetypal villains!
Developing both the Queen and Mayor Regina, whose sinister complexities are most compelling and yet thrilling to perform, has been
quite an exciting journey! These are two women you are going to love to hate!"
~ Lana Parrilla


♦ ♦ ♦

Because of their meet-cute/parent trap moment in the Pilot
Because when Emma made the wish not to be alone on her birthday it led her home to Henry and Regina
Because only Emma can cut down part of Regina’s apple tree and live to tell about it
Because they’d like to show the other what they are “capable of”
Because when Regina needs help she turns to Emma
Because “I know her”
Because Emma believed in Regina when no one else did
Because they are each other’s equal and opposite
Because they’re like divorced parents (and Lana agrees)
Because “Emma, and Henry, and the two idiots”
Because Emma is the only one who sees “Regina” and not only the “Evil Queen”
Because Emma and Regina challenge each other intellectually and emotionally
Because “How to get the Saviour to taste my forbidden fruit”
Because both had their lives mapped out for them and were manipulated by others when all they ever wanted was to be themselves
Because admits that there is something between them – even though it’s hard to define
Because they both want what’s best for Henry
Because according to Adam and Eddy their relationship moved to a new place in 2x22
Because Regina can tell when Emma is hiding something
Because the first person Archie told about Regina’s innocence was Emma
Because “I invited her” and Emma’s smile when Regina joined the welcome back party in episode 2x10
Because Emma is always the first to defend and save Regina
Because “magic is emotion” and Emma and Regina’s magic is extremely powerful
Because of the intensity of the mines scenes in 1x05
Because Emma wouldn’t let the Wraith kill Regina and got sucked into the portal because she was trying to protect her
Because the wardrobe department clearly ships them and makes them share clothes
Because like a true white knight Emma slayed a dragon and then rescued Regina
Because Emma thinks Regina is “beautiful” and has “immaculate legs” (OUAT: Reawakened novel)
Because there are only two people in Storybrooke that Regina has apologized to: Emma and their son, Henry
Because they can read between the lines (parallel quote: 1x02/2x20)

Blog: Why We Love Swan Queen
"Madam Mayor" & "Miss Swan"
Snarky banter and invading each other’s personal space
Making magic together
THAT blue silk shirt
Wanting the other to enjoy things (shirts, cocoa)
Bench conversations
Finding and saving each other
Teaming up to protect/save Henry

"I agree with all you fans of the Emma/Regina dynamic. There is a lot of wonderful tension there.
They are fun to write together."

~ Jane Espenson

"There's a common ground they share. They both have been abandoned and betrayed by their
parents. That is something that we've never touched upon, but it's something I have investigated
a bit. They probably understand each other more than any other character does."

~ Lana Parrilla

"We've had so many different stories going for so long, it's nice we're all coming together. It's also
finding out what that means [going forward]. What does it mean that magic is in reality? What
does it mean that Henry now has two moms? So getting back to that story is exciting for me."
~ Jennifer Morrison

"Regina and Emma want the same thing. They want love and they want family, and they want
home. They just have different ways about going to get them and they both have different
flaws that stand in the way of them achieving it."
~ Edward Kitsis

"I’m not so much the hero, Jen Morrison plays the hero, but it is fun being the victim, at least, I could say, in this particular
episode. I know you’ve seen in the upcoming promos where Regina says "Help me," so you’ll see how Emma ends up
saving her. It's a lot of fun. It was one of our favorite scenes because it was so active and it was just fun for us to be physical.
~ Lana Parrilla


Lana Parrilla and Jennifer Morrison have unbearably delicious chemistry.
~ "Once Upon a Time" SnapCap
The more Regina develops as this three-dimensional, fallen-angel archetype, the more perfect the idea becomes of Regina
and Emma coming together… that way. Oh yes, that way. Guys, think about it: Emma is the savior, she’s the literal essence
of true love, and the person who needs the transformative nature of true love the most in this series is so obviously Regina.
And let’s be real, those two actresses have so much damn chemistry. The show is always at its best when they share the screen.
~ tv.com, OUAT review

Jen Morrison and I get along really well, so it's always kind of odd when
you’re having a fight on-set or onstage, but we’re pros and we had our stunt
coordinator there. [...] I still train, not seriously, but as a nice workout, so
the punch wasn’t difficult for me, and I believe Jen Morrison has some
training on her own, she’s very athletic. It was fun for us, but we were
very careful not to hurt each other.
~ Lana Parrilla

Scars on 45 – Warning Signs
I will rescue you, if you rescue me
There’s a hole inside that they never see
I will stand by you and every soul knows why
They will be holding a warning sign
I will rescue you, if you rescue me

And its alright if
You’re undecided
Or if you’re scared
That you might like it
Or if its true
I ache for you

Lost in coffee rings and fingerprints
I don’t wanna feel anything
But I do
And it all comes back to you

Emma and Regina talk openly about their fears at some point down the road


"I certainly have seen a lot of fan enthusiasm for the idea of Regina and Emma. I will say that
(LGBT representation) is something that I agree is important and I would hope to see in the
future that we would have that in the show."

~ Jane Espenson

"When I play Regina, I play her with an underlying care for Emma. I do think that she has a
love for Emma, in a sense. It could be the connection with Henry, but some people think it’s
something else."

~ Lana Parrilla

"We all have light and dark in us. Even the best people make bad decisions, and even the worst
people make good decisions. Even though Regina is a villain in certain ways — and she’ll always
have a darkness to her — that doesn’t mean she’s incapable of love, and that doesn’t mean she’s
incapable of a good decision. So she, as well, is being redefined by the relationships in her life."

~ Jennifer Morrison

I’ve now met Regina’s mother, so I now have a very different perspective on who she is and why
she is [that way]… I don’t know that over the long run it will [change their relationship] but I think
momentarily Emma wants to have hope that this person can change and that if they both really
want the best for Henry, there’s hope for that."
~ Jennifer Morrison

"With Emma, because they share Henry, that relationship has to be figured out. It’s almost
like divorced parents, right?"
~ Lana Parrilla

"And that’s, you know, one of the things that’s interesting for us to explore, which is that while these
women are at odds with each other in many ways they do have this one thing between them that they
both care about. And it’s this shared love of Henry that makes the good vs. evil aspect of their
relationship a little bit more complicated."
~ Adam Horowitz

Just FYI, I don't think the OP includes a link to the last thread, # 8.

Always looking forward to more scenes between these two. I'm still happy whenever Regina calls Emma by her first name!

Same here. I like that Regina does that as well. They've really come a long way.

What I loved was that despite not having her heart Regina still looked concerned over Emma when she fell and then she looked proud when she saw that Emma had finally begun to tap into her potential.
