if since Raphael is a little older now, maybe they will start giving him some longer dialog? It sounded like from the spoilers of the ice cream shop scene that Roland had a line asking for ice cream or something. So wouldn't it be interesting to see a scene with Roland talking to Archie about his mom coming back from the dead? Wonder why it would be in Regina's office tho?? I'm so curious about this!

p.s. wow I wonder if Raphael SBarge realized what a huge spoiler he was giving away? lol

I do hope Roland gets a little more dialogue this year. I really wish we knew who else is in that scene. Regina is a safe bet since it's her office. So does Archie bring Roland to see Regina for some reason? That seems kinda unlikely. Or Archie is already there and Roland shows up? Does Robin bring him? I've seen the idea that Roland manages to get there on his own, but that would be quite an accomplishment for a 5 year old. Of course this is TV so it's possible.

I hope we don't find out later that little Raphael was in studio filming another scene and was just hanging out over there between takes becaue this is really the only GOOD spoiler we've gotten!

maybe Roland is in therapy (That kid really needs it ---> Zapped to a new realm were everything is different from the Enchanted Forest; Arrival of his dead mom who has been absent for approximately 30 years; Absence of the NICE Queen/Mayor/Dad's GF (hehehehe), who gave him a stuffed monkey, bought hi ice cream and made Dad happy.

Yep...that kid should be sent to therapy ASAP.

So, what if he went to Therapy and ALL he talked about was Regina and Dad. So, Archie decided to take him to see Regina.

you're so right, this is the first spoiler I can actually say I'm happy about! Thank goodness, I was getting so depressed with all the bad news, lol.

I'm totally with you in hoping this photo is because they were filming together and not just hanging out between takes at the studio. It seems very possible they were just hanging out because from the filming spoilers at Steveston last week, it seems little Raphael is quite a friendly little guy who wants to go 'round and talk to everybody.

As far as possible scene scenarios:
Maybe Roland asks to see Regina and Archie brings him as a "neutral" party? I also think it's possible Roland could sneak off and go see Regina on his own. But to be honest, any of these scenarios make me happy because 1) I adore little Roland, so to see him more involved in the story sounds fun and 2) hopefully it signals, if not actual OQ scenes, at least Regina interaction in the situation, not just being off by herself.

p.s. so have you seen discussion of this photo elsewhere then? I've actually been surprised today not seeing people say much about it. It seems like such a big deal!

It would be really sweet if Roland is SO determined to see Regina that he manages to make it to her office on his own. That gives me happy feels. Finally!

Archie could offer to take Roland to see Regina as a neutral party, but I would be disappointed if that happens. Robin would prefer to let Archie take Roland to see Regina rather than going himself?

I've seen the pic being reblogged a lot on tumblr, but not much actual discussion.

there being some objection/disagreement about Robin and/or Marian seeing Regina, but everyone agrees for Roland's sake that it's ok if Archie takes him to visit Regina. Which, I know, sounds more like a unhappy divorce/custody thing, but...

from what we know of the scene at Granny's in the premiere, it seems like Marian is not going to want Roland anywhere near Regina and this is only 2 eps later. Maybe Robin will insist on letting Roland see Regina and this will be how they compromise on it. I'll just be happy that we might be getting a Roland/Regina scene at all and we'll see how it comes about later.

I saw an interview today with Bobby Carlyle that I hadn't seen before where he reveals that Henry will come to Gold wanting his fake memories restored. That stinks since his fake memories are of being raised by Emma and knowing nothing of Regina. I'm hoping maybe this is more about him struggling to come to terms with Neal's death and is not because he's mad at Regina again. Thankfully it sounds like Gold will talk him out of it. It's around the 2:55 mark if you want to hear it.

Another Stevenson location shoot this week. I sure hope OQ fans are spared another Robin + Zombie Wife scene. I think I have had enough. Can we get to see Regina and Robin? One can only hope.

I find that very confusing about Henry asking to have his NY memories back. First off, I thought Emma retained both sets of memories, so why didn't Henry? Second, I was shocked Bobby basically told the whole scene: I thought major spoilers like that were a no-no, lol? Third, yes it is confusing he would want to wipe his memories of Regina, when he seemed so happy when the curse broke and he remembered her. Hopefully there is some other context to the scene that we're missing.

has it been confirmed by one of the peeps who live up there? I keep seeing talk about it but nothing "official" so to speak. ETA: oops nvm, just saw pic of the crew setting up so I guess you can't get much more official than that. Anyway, last week was so traumatic, I am hoping there can't possibly be anything worse, lol.

Henry and Emma both have 2 sets of memories now as well, so I don't understand that. I took this to mean that Henry does not want his real memories anymore, but IDK? It seemed to me that Bobby revealed a lot at SDCC. He also mentioned Gold would be blackmailed which I thought was a pretty big spoiler.

I really hope to see Lana filming. I really hope not to see Marian, no offense to Christie. I'm afraid to hope for anything beyond that.

IMBD now has Christie Laing listed as being part of the cast of the show Un-Real on Lifetime. I haven't seen a premiere date but it starts this year. It also films in Vancouver so she can prob do both shows at least for a while. They have her credited for 8 of their 10 listed episodes which is quite a bit. I don't know if this means anything, I just thought I'd mention it.

Christie's series. I love IMDB but I'm not sure they are entirely reliable with shows that are still in production. Still let's just assume they are correct. Like you said, she could still guest on Once but it's kinda nice to know that apparently Once hasn't locked her in for a lot of episodes if she has made a big commitment elsewhere.

confrontation was in the patio at Granny's the same as the 401 spoilers we saw--with the same sort of discussion as to whether Regina is still evil. Also,at the end of the scene, Regina walks away, alone, down the dark street, just like the spoilers we saw for 401. Anyway I have no idea what it means and maybe the parallels are totally not intentional, but I found it interesting.

I wondered if initially Regina might be blamed for some of Elsa or the Snow Queen's doings. That would be another parallel.

IDK if you saw that Hot Seat EW article that came out a couple days ago, but someone commented and said that in ep 2 Grumpy would say Snow should be the mayor instead of Regina and that Regina would refuse to come out of her house and Snow would end up breaking into Regina's house to get her to talk. She didn't give a source but here's why it might be true.
1) There was a report of filming at Regina's house on 7/24 and I remember someone tweeting and saying Ginny had waved to her.
2) We had a tweet from Lana's makeup artist on 8/1 saying Regina might "have some competition this season". I think a lot of people thought she was refering to Marian, but maybe not.
3) There was that scene in Steveson last week where we saw Grumpy, Granny, Archie and a few others looking like they were on a mission. I thought that was for ep 3, but sometimes they film out of order. Or maybe that is something else entirely.

So now as if Regina's life doesn't suck enough, she might lose her job too? The big thing I see going against this being true is that it would be very OOC for Snow. I cannot see Snow being willing to take Regina's job from her, even if that is what the people want. It would ruin all the development between them from last season. So I really hope this is nothing more than rumor.

Well, my take on it is that yes, I could see Grumpy getting all hysterical, then Snow being worried about Regina and forcing her way into the house to check on her. That makes sense to me after the improvement in their relationship. But that doesn't necessarily mean Snow's intent is to take Regina's job, just to go see she's ok. You know how hysterical the "townsfolk" always get and then one of the Charmings always talks them down, lol. So I could see something similar in this case and would actually be a good thing for Regina if the Charmings stood up for her in front of the town.

#2---I saw someone suggest that comment was referring to competition in being evil, as in Snow Queen or Elsa lashing out. That seemed like a possibility.
#3---I don't remember why now, but I remember assuming that scene had to do with Frozen. But if it is about the Mayor thing, well, again I guess I'm not too worried about townsfolk hysteria. The show always uses that to heighten the tension. Lol. Plus like you said, I can't see Snow aggressively trying to take Regina's job away from her. That is so not Snow.

But... I could totally be wrong!

The thing that interested me the most is the part about Regina refusing to come out of the house. Sounds like all of the fan speculation that Regina will refuse to see Robin or anyone and just go hide her wounds is right.

especially the part about the Charmings standing up for Regina in front of the town. I'd really prefer the whole thing to not be true at all because it would show a lot of the town is still really against Regina, even after the whole Pan and Zelena thing, but if it is true, then the Charmings standing up for her is the best possible scenario for that.

I thought the part about her staying inside was interesting too, esp since Lana indicated Regina would have a plan and that seems contradictory. Maybe Regina's plan is to drown her sorrows in wine. They really are giving us nothing to go on.
