Once Upon a Time: Reader Qs Answered!
Prince Charming wore a wedding ring in the pilot and he was seen wearing one in Season 3 (when they flashed back to right after the wedding), and cursed David wore one when he thought he was married to Katherine. But why did David not continue to wear one after the curse was broken? — Kristi
“You’re going to have to ask [series creators] Eddy and Adam that,” said Josh Dallas, who has been equally puzzled by the MIA ring. “We just never got it back in Storybrooke and I don’t know why.” (The Once creators have not yet responded to TVLine’s request for comment.)
Emma wasn’t wearing Graham’s shoelaces on her wrist in Camelot or while she was the Dark One in Storybrooke. Will she have them on in the Underworld? –Hollie
“I’ve actually ‘lost’ all of my jewelry since the end of Dark Swan, everything that Emma’s been wearing consistently,” says Jennifer Morrison. “I felt like there was such a huge transition in the time in her life that this was a ‘rebirth’ in a way. But all of those things are not gone, they’re just, in my mind, in her little cigar box of memories that she keeps.”
Now that Rumple has the power of all the previous Dark Ones in a new dagger, does this new dagger still adhere to the same rules as the original? And my second question is about Zelena and her “Little Green Bean”: Does she genuinely love her daughter? –Elaine
Look at you, lucking into a two-for-one special! Regarding the blacker, badder dagger, co-creator Adam Horowitz affirms that yes, it does adhere to the same rules as the old one. Turning from Dark Ones to wee ones, Rebecca Mader believes Zelena does love her magically fast-tracked tot. After all, she points out, “You’d have to be pretty dead inside to not love your own baby!”
Will we be getting any #WhiteSwan heart-to-heart moments or cute mother/daughter scenes between Emma and Mary Margaret? —Melissa
“We’ve tried to put in some really sweet Charming family moments” in Season 5B, says co-creator Adam Horowitz, including mother/daughter, father/daughter and what Kitsis describes as a “great Grandpa Charming/Henry scene.” Adds Jennifer Morrison, “There are always great little moments between [Emma and Snow].”
Do Snow and Charming still have reservations about Hook, considering what he did (and almost did) as the Dark One? –Marissa
“I think they came to accept him a while ago,” says Josh Dallas. “Their daughter loves him, so they take to him kindly.” As for Dark Hook’s aforementioned actions, “We all do bad things,” Dallas notes. “Nobody’s either black or white, which is the point of many of these characters. They’ve seen the humanity in [Hook], and that’s an important thing to remember.” (As for Henry’s own reversal-of-opinion on the “dirty pirate” since Season 4A’s “Shattered Sight” episode, Jared Gilmore said, “Henry was maybe a little protecive of his mom in the beginning, but Hook makes her happy, and that’s what Henry wants.”)
What was Jared Gilmore’s reaction to the “Dreamcatcher” episode where Emma had ripped Violet’s heart out and commanded her to break Henry’s? —Jennifer
“When I read the episode, I was kind of blown away and shocked,” Gilmore remembers. “And then when I actually watched the episode, I was like, ‘That’s amazing!’ It was totally unexpected, a really awesome twist!”
Can you tell us a bit more about the episode in which Liam, Hook’s brother, shows up? –Manuela
Details are scarce on Episode 15, “The Brothers Jones,” but Colin O’Donoghue confirmed, “We do see Liam (played by Bernard Curry) at one point, and it’s the one we’ve met before” (as opposed to the recently revealed namesake from another mother). “We get to explore more of that relationship prior to Killian being Captain Hook. And we’ll also get to see Captain Silver (played by Costas Mandylor), which is a fascinating thing.”
Are we ever going to see another wedding on the show? –Alyssa
“Not this season,” says co-creator Eddy Kitsis.
Will we ever get an “I love you” moment from Robin and Regina? –Aaliyah
A smile formed on Lana Parrilla’s face as she mulled her answer to this one. “Hmmmm…. Possibly,” she allowed. “I think so. Not in the 100th episode, but…. I think we will.”
My question is for Rebecca Mader, my favorite actress! What is Zelena’s happy ending? —Pauline
Bex got a bit melancholy in answering this one, admitting: “I don’t know. I really don’t know. I do lie in bed thinking about it, because I don’t know what she really needs to be happy. Probably a therapist and a gin-and-tonic!”
Even though Emma and Hook are not confirmed “true love,” do their characters believe that they are? –La Shawna
“Yes is the answer” — at least in the opinion of the pirate’s portrayer, Colin O’Donoghue. “That’s what I think, and that’s what we’ve sort of established. They both declared [their love] to each other, so….” O’Donoghue then reminds, “Hook gave up his ship [for Emma], the one he had for 300 years! He is all in.”
