    Hank Harris (The Man in the High Castle) and Being Human alum Sam Witwer have signed on for recurring roles in ABC’s hit drama series Once Upon A Time.

    Harris will play Nathaniel, a meek and troubled patient at a mental institution who finds himself trapped under the thumb of its evil and overbearing warden, Jacob (Witwer), who takes pleasure in tormenting his most disturbed and helpless patients.

    Not what anybody expected…So these are two completely original characters? How do they fit in?

    I so suggested that they were original characters in the title thread yesterday.

    Mental hospital? Hmmmm. I feel a lot of Wonderland parallels coming (if the writers remember that show even existed).

    Well they can still be EF characters and still say until proven wrong a twisted Brothers Grimm. And who knew that the SF scene at 512 had a hint about this, im very surprised about that spoiler on the scene.

    And if S6 is the last season and if they end the show how im thinking, wow, i may actually praise A&E, unlike all fandom that will be pissed.

    I love that it’s not brothers grimm.  I actually like this a lot.  Bringing it home with potentially completely original characters.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time they did this with major characters, we got Cora.

    I can’t help but think that this will tie in with Nurse Ratched and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Maybe that’s why they chose to reveal her name this Season?

    Cora was the Queen of Hearts. Not original.

    Cora’s not completely original, though. She’s a combination of the Miller’s Daughter and the Queen of Hearts. This feels more like Greg and Tamara, who were completely original characters.

    Ok, sure, but she didn’t act like the “Queen of Hearts,” from Alice in Wonderland and we didn’t know that was who she was out of the gate.  Cora was her own person and then they tacked on the reveal that she was also the Queen of Hearts.  Her personality, her drive, her intentions, her “love” for Regina, her motivations, were all original.
