Interview with Emilie

Translated from dutch via Google, so be warned that the translation is iffy:

Quote:

Emilie de Ravin is an Australian actress who you most probably know as Belle from Once Upon a Time. But this 37 year old actress has already built up a nice CV. She has been shown alongside Once Upon a Time in the series Roswell and Lost and she played alongside Robert Pattinson in the tear-off tractor Remember me. Not so long ago, the makers have announced that they will stop Once Upon a Time, so that we will soon have to say goodbye to Belle. Chicklit.nl spoke with Emilie about, among other things, the end of this great series.

What do you think of the last season of Once Upon a Time?
I have only read the two scripts that characterize my character, that was the episode ‘Beauty’ in which we see Belle getting older and eventually see death. This episode was incredibly beautiful. I am very proud of the end result. There were some beautiful scenes between Rumple and Belle.

I’m also in the very last episode, which I can not say anything about, but I had a great time while working on the episode. This episode also has sad moments, but for very different reasons than the episode 'Beauty’. So we say goodbye with the last episode of the series.

How was it to hear that so many characters left Once Upon a Time?
It was the idea of the makers to do a reboot. She wanted to use the same formula as they did in the previous six seasons, but they wanted to give a whole new twist to the series. I have not seen the last season myself, but my heart is with the original Storybrooke and the original characters.

Do you think they stopped the show because so many fans were not satisfied with season 7?
I really have no idea. It could just happen, but there could be other reasons for it.

Do you think the series should have gone through with the original characters?
I would have loved to play in season 7! I would have liked more time to perform Belle. I loved to be able to play it. But that would not work with the idea of the makers to give it a whole new twist.

What do you think of the end of Belle?
All I can say about it is that I find it a very nice and perfect ending.

How was it to record the very last scene of Once Upon a Time?
It was sad, but in a festive way. We have been allowed to do this show for so many years. I myself have been allowed to participate in the series for six years, which is a long time. Just look at Jared Gilmore (Henry Mills). He was so small when he started the show and now he has become a real man. It has really been a journey where I have become very close with many of the people around me. That’s what I got out of it; great experiences and great new friends.

What is your favorite season of Once Upon a Time?
I think that season is 3. I thought the character development was worked out very well in this season. It was a great season for Belle and also for Rumple and Belle together. This is also the season in which they marry. The evolution of the whole story can be seen in season 3. But my favorite episode remains Skin Deep, that was also my very first episode of Once Upon a Time. I would actually only stay one episode, but apparently the creators liked the character (and me) enough to become a permanent character in the series!

Who are you best friends with?
With Robert Carlyle (Rumple) and Rebecca Mader (Zelena).

Who is, besides Belle, your favorite character?
Rumple! Rumple is such a fantastically complicated character. But Cruella is also fantastic! There is no trace of goodness in the character, but that also makes her so nice.

Which character has the best end of Once Upon a Time?
I think that is really up to the public to decide that.

Who is your favorite couple from Once Upon a Time?
Rumple and Belle of course! Not because they have the best or quietest relationship, but because it was so real. They have seen the worst in each other and they still are and they want to be together. And that is very special in my eyes.

Were there any romances on the set between actors?
Josh and Ginnifer (Charming and Snow white) met on the set and together they have 2 beautiful children.

Can you tell us something about the last episode?
I can not tell too much, but it is a wonderful fairytale ending for the characters. You can not perfect everyone’s storyline because of course there are so many characters in the show. There are a lot of old friends coming back in the series for the final episode and I think the fans will love this end.

Have you heard rumors about a spin-off from Once Upon a Time?
No, I did not hear about that. But you never know. They also made the spin-off in Wonderland after season 1, so who knows.

If there would be a spin-off, what would you like to see in the spin-off?
I actually have no idea. Maybe they could do something like Wonderland and choose a world to go. But if you focus on a different world you can just as well make a new series and not spin off. But who knows. Time will tell us.

What are you currently working on?
I recorded the last episode last week, so I just finished it. I think they are now finished filming the final episode. Currently I am trying to spend a bit more time with my little girl who has just turned 2 years old. I went back to work quite soon after she was born, so it’s nice to be able to spend more time with her now.

Aww, what a beautiful interview. As much as I’ve loved S7, I’m so sorry for Em that she couldn’t be a part of it.

Aww, Bobby…and it’s so touching that her friendships are what she most values of her time on the show.

I was always curious about why S3 was her fave, and now I get it…it makes sende.
