Once Upon a Time has saved all the drama for one evil mama.
On Sunday’s episode, “Sisters,” Zelena (Rebecca Mader), Regina (Lana Parrilla), and Cora’s (Barbara Hershey) past will finally be explored in what Mader promises will be a “mind-blowing” reveal.
The sisters will also battle in present day as Regina tries to sabotage Zelena’s happy ending again to keep the Wicked Witch from running away with possible true love Hades (Greg Germann), but don’t expect bloodshed.
“Becoming a parent has really changed everything and she’s less concerned about revenge,” Mader tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Her endgame is shifting as her heart opens up by having a child.”
Mader also spoke with THR about how Zelena’s “heart is starting to soften” for Hades, if Dorothy and Belle are still in her crosshairs and how Mader was “blown away” by Regina and Zelena’s past.

[adrotate group="5"]I have a theory about ZELINA’S father…. I think Cora is going to reveal that ZELINA’S dad is actually RUMPLE …. as evidence by … ZELINA having magic from birth … Zelina’s RED hair.
I think RUMPLE had disappeared for a brief time, Cora thinking she had been abandoned slept with the gardener telling him she was PG but it is actually RUMPLE’s child.
Big eewwee factor with ZELINA holding Rumple hostage and causing her brother’s death….
…. this is my theory I am and I am sticking to it.

lol I sure hope not. But I also think they burned that bridge with the captivity plot — unless the network is really trying to push the envelope on what they mean by “family” show.
Also if Zelena were Rumple’s 2nd born, Hades could just claim her by virtue of the contract. No need for elaborate seduction schemes.
More realistically I think it’s going go turn out that Regina and Zelena met in the past. Either way it’s going to be the retcon of the century.

.I think your theory is flawed.
First, how is Zelena’s red hair an indication that she’s Rumple’s child? Two dark haired parents can have a red haired child if the red hair gene is within the family.
Second, Cora didn’t meet Rumple until AFTER she’d given away Zelena. The deal that she made with him (after he changed it) was that she’d give him his child that she gave birth too. However, Cora ripped out her heart and chose to be Henry’s wife and told Rumple that she wouldn’t be having his child (I can’t remember the exact dialogue but that is the gist of it) therefore there is no possible way that Zelena is Rumple’s child.

Yup. That’s all that really needs to be said.
The mind blowing reveal is probably that Regina and Zelena knew each other as kids but Cora “did a thing”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"“Becoming a parent has really changed everything and she’s less concerned about revenge,” Mader tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Her endgame is shifting as her heart opens up by having a child.”
We’ve never seen that character development before on OUAT. *eye roll*

This makes it look like Regina is clearly in the wrong yet the show will play it as Regina having the right to do this. I hate when the show gives Regina a holier than thou attitude because it makes her more unlikable.

Keeper of FelixNow I am curious. If this “mind blowing” reveal is all it’s cracked up to be then it’ll enliven an increasingly familiar sounding redemption arc.

Yeah, I thought that was really weird framing too. Unless it’s a sign that the show runners are now growing bored with Regina, and Zelena is the new redemption-bound-villain shiny.
Also, @Slurpeez, a million times THIS. I am so sick of the redemption-by-baby trope. Please. Someone. Make them stop.
