    Once Upon a Time has tapped Frances O’Connor to play Belle’s mother in the upcoming fourth season, EW has learned exclusively.

    The 47-year-old actress will portray Colette, whom we’ll meet briefly in the sixth episode, but find out she had an immense impact on Belle’s life. There’s a possibility to see her again later in the season.
    As EW first reported, Belle’s mom will be introduced through flashbacks. “For the first time, we’ll delve into Belle’s past pre-the encounter with Rumple,” executive producer Adam Horowitz says.
    The Once casting marks a return to ABC for O’Connor, who previously starred on the short-lived Cashmere Mafia. Her other credits include Mansfield Park, Bedazzled and Mr. Selfridge.

    Good casting, as usual.

    They made a good choice, I can see the resemblance

    Good choice.

    Does anyone else think that she looks a bit like Cora? Perhaps they are sisters, which would mean Belle and Regina are cousins. Now that would be a twist! 😀

    Oh God, I hope not.

    Agreed. Please just let her be Belle’s mom and nothing else.

    Anyone wanna place a cookie bet?

    Belle’s mom: alive or dead? And if it’s the latter, how did she die?

    The lines ‘will be introduced through flashbacks’ and ‘There’s a possibility of seeing her again later in the season’ make me think that she is presumed dead but will turn out to be alive (which we probably won’t find out until 4B. She may even have something to do with the Maleficent storyline – maybe she’s Aurora’s mother too? They haven’t made Aurora related to anyone in the main cast yet so it’s only a matter of time… 😉

    Maybe if we do see Belle’s mom again, I tend to think it’ll be through another flashback. If she was alive and in Storybrooke, I think we would have met her a long time ago or Moe would have mentioned her or something.

    Belle’s mom does kind of look like a younger Cora.

    Also had to post this: http://screwballninja.tumblr.com/post/96703911016/if-ma-belle-and-cora-were-sisters

    Ma Belle: How’s my sister Cora doing?
    Rumple: I MAY have contributed to her demise.
    Ma Belle: Oh no! And her charming husband?
    Rumple: Their daughter Regina crushed his heart.
    Ma Belle: Oh no!
    Rumple: But Cora had another daughter–
    Ma Belle: Oh yes?
    Rumple: . . . who I stabbed to death for killing my son.
    Ma Belle: Oh no!
    Rumple: I tried to kill Regina once, too, but now we’re cool because my grandson is her adopted son.
    Ma Belle: Oh yes?
    Rumple: But you’re not going to be happy with Regina because she MAY have imprisoned your daughter for 30 years.
    Ma Belle: Oh no!
    Rumple: But don’t worry, your daughter is safe now.
    Ma Belle: Oh yes?
    Rumple: I married her!
    Ma Belle: *faints*

    All magic comes with a price!
