“Once Upon a Time” returns this Sunday (Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC), and after seeing the first two episodes of Season 3, it’s safe to say that the fantasy series has confidently recaptured the magic that first enchanted us when it premiered.
HuffPost TV caught up with star Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White/Mary Margaret) to find out what she could preview about the new season, which finds our heroes — Snow, Charming (Josh Dallas) and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) — trapped on a boat with the show’s villains, Regina (Lana Parrilla), Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) on a desperate quest to rescue Henry (Jared Gilmore) from the clutches of a not-so-friendly Peter Pan.
Read on for Goodwin’s thoughts on Snow and Regina’s tumultuous relationship, her attempts to mend her relationship with daughter Emma, and whether she’ll find herself tempted by her darker side in Neverland.
What is Snow’s reaction to being trapped in close quarters with Regina after everything they’ve been through?
The truth is — Lana and I have talked about this a billion times — clearly, deep down these women love each other, because they could’ve done away with each other a million times. I know that the Evil Queen has technically tried to kill Snow before, and as an audience member I find it incredibly annoying that Snow has given the Evil Queen like four hundred chances, and to me, in some ways Snow defines crazy; it’s that whole ‘what is the definition of crazy? Repeating the same actions and expecting different results.’ But we’ve talked about the fact that there have been so many times since the poisoned apple episode where The Evil Queen could’ve actually killed Snow and has decided not to up to this point. But they do absolutely hate each other; over that tiny little nugget of love, there are layers of hate, so sticking them on a boat together and knowing that they need each other in order to achieve their goal — which is saving Henry — is going to lead to chaos.How is Snow’s relationship with Emma when the season kicks off?
What I find is such a relief this year — and it’s one thing I’ve talked about with Jennifer Morrison a lot — is we’re so relieved that we get to address the relationship between these characters this season. Last season, we felt that the story was so exciting and there was so much adventure that we were distracted from each other and from this relationship. Every time we went to address this dynamic in our past and where we are now, something would interfere — there would be some obstacle that would keep us from finishing that conversation. And so now that we are stuck together, there is gonna be ample opportunity to really face ourselves, and therefore face each other. I think that given the fact that Emma would clearly have abandonment issues, and that Snow would carry around an immense amount of guilt, there’s a lot there to play.Hook is clearly pretty interested in Emma; how’s Snow feeling about him this season?
Hook’s a little slick for Snow, he’s the king of innuendo. She’s someone who does clearly have an achilles heel in empathy, and she forgives people again and again and again and again. But with Hook, I think there are definitely some trust issues given what happened last season. But he has been, since the very end of last season, proving himself, which does bode well for him in Snow’s eyes.Everyone’s obviously focused on getting Henry back, but judging by the episodes you’ve shot so far, what would you say Snow’s personal journey is in the first half of Season 3?
Right, everyone’s first priority is to get Henry, and to hold the family together — and everyone thinks their family is defined by very different family members from the next character, but we do all have the same goal. [Laughs.] And as for Snow’s personal journey … The first season she was clearly two completely different human beings, because she had different memories, which makes for a different life experience. The second season I thought was going to be about reconciling these disparate characters, but what really ended up happening was that Snow and Mary Margaret ended up sort of being smushed together in a mash-up, and you would have Snow’s faults and Mary Margaret’s weaknesses really interfering with things and the two different parts of her were holding her back — the negative qualities from each of the characters. And she would also fluctuate between being Mary Margaret and being Snow, even in the present, as opposed to being one fully-formed person. And so to me, this season is about creating one fully-formed person, who of course is still going to have faults and weaknesses, but is gonna be able to navigate them, whereas last season she had no idea how to navigate those things and the darkness would clearly take over.Speaking of that darkness: Snow clearly struggled with her dark heart last season — do you think this quest to Neverland will tempt her back into doing some not-so-heroic things in the name of getting Henry back?
I think that it’s about asking that question, for sure, I can’t say whether or not she’s going to follow through with things, because maybe she will and maybe she won’t, but she absolutely has to face that part of herself and face the darkness she sees in others. I think a big part of this season is about where you can put your ego aside, for all of us: Where do you let go of your self-definition and integrity? Where do you compromise to get what you think you need and want? When do you put yourself aside for the greater good? It’s really juicy.What can you preview about Episode 2?
I loved that episode. Talking about putting qualities of yourself aside in order to achieve the greater good … there’s an incredible opportunity for Prince Charming to maybe compromise one of his own qualities, compromise some of his own integrity to help Snow find her integrity. And ultimately, he clearly feels that it’s in an effort to achieve a greater good.Can you tease anything about Episode 6, which will introduce Ariel?
I can say that Snow and Ariel cross paths, and I’m very excited about it. [Laughs.]“Once Upon a Time” Season 3 premieres Sun., Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Very interesting, never would have thought Regina and Snow loved each other!
I can believe that Snow loves Regina, or else she wouldn’t have given her countless chances. However, I have a much harder time believing that Regina loves Snow.

Hm wouldn’t have been so sure about Snow loving Regina to be honest. She used her to kill her own mother :/
Keeper of Captain Swan's first kiss
They have a love-hate relationship I think, which is what Ginny is saying. The love is buried way, way, way down deep under lots of pain and resentment. Every once in awhile, it does bubble back up and is still there, but overall Snow never forgot that Regina saved her life, and Regina never forgot what it felt like TO save someone.

That there will be fighting â seriously, at least two people get punched in the face and it’s awesome â flying and betrayal
Ok, I think this is Regina and Emma, and someone like Hook or David steps in between and gets hit
As for Mr. Gold/Rumple, Horowitz teases, âThe Rumple character poster says, âBelieve you can change your fate.â And whether you can or canât, is kind of a core dilemma for him [this season]. Heâs being ripped back and forth between this prophecy, which says the boy will be his undoing, and the fact that the boy is his blood. What are his priorities? Whatâs he going to do? Howâs he going to wiggle his way out of this? Can he wiggle his way out of this?â Kitsis adds, â[Rumple] believes he has nothing left to live for. He believes heâs responsible for the death of his son. Neal is very important to many characters in the show right now, who are behaving in certain ways under the belief that heâs dead.â
So Belle and his grandson arn’t enough reason for him to live? *bangs head on desk* Adding to that is the fact that it was fucking Tammara that shot Neal, not Gold, and nothing to do with magic cept for the beans that the GIANT grew and REGINA stole. So anyways, Rumple is basically thinking suicide mission = redemption now? Did he perhaps think he misunderstood the prophecy the way he did before? EG “Ride into battle on cows” not being literally cows but saddles. “Be your undoing” could mean the undoing of the Dark One, stripping his powers, not necessarily death.
I love the Rumple character, his complexities and eccentrics and humor, but sometimes I wanna slap him for being blind.
Another s0oiler article from Hypable:
8) âYour belief of love wasnât strong enough to overcome your fear of rejection.â .
Definitely sounds like something someone will say to Rumple, after rejecting Belle when she kissed him.
Ah- but Neal’s supposed death *is* directly linked to Rumple bringing magic to Storybrooke! Magic is the whole reason that Greg and Tamara wanted to come to Storybrooke in the first place!
Adam has stated on Twitter that Belle being a reason to live is an issue that is going to be addressed head on in one of the first episodes, so don’t worry.

Once Upon a Time Spoilers: 10 Enchanted Answers to Your Season Three Questions!What do you get when you put a princess, a pirate, a queen, a dark one, a prince, and a savior all on the same boat? A wickedly wonderful premiere, that’s what!
Season three of ABC’s magical drama Once Upon a Time is just a few days away and we know that you’re just dying to be reunited with your favorite fairytale characters. We’ve already traveled to the dark and dangerous island of Neverlandâmeaning we’ve seen the first two episodesâand sat down with Once creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis to discuss the sensational new season.
Since many of you love OUAT as much as we do, we’ve decided to put our crystal ball away (FYI there’s one in the premiere!) and find out exactly what you want to know about season three. We’ve answered ten burning questions via Twitter about Once Upon a Time‘s heart-pounding romances, jaw-dropping twists and more!
Smolderderavin: To be honest all we want are Rumbelle spoilers so if you could please get some we’ll forever love you, you know.
We’re all about eternal admiration! Even though our beloved Rumple (Robert Carlyle) and Belle (Emilie De Ravin) are worlds apart, that does not mean that we won’t see them together. To quote Rumple, “Neverland is a place where imagination runs wild,” so just keep that rule in mind in the second episode. Bonus Scoop: Their scenes together are better than we could’ve ever hoped for. So sweet and so caring.EffulgentlightQ: Does our Captain get to throw some punches or is he on the receiving end?
Both! There’s a wicked fight in the first episode, and waters a looking rough for out Jolly Roger shipmates. We all know that despite being ridiculously attractive, Charming (Josh Dallas) and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) don’t really have a whole lot in common and this leads to some hot alpha male struggles.Lukadrommi: Anything on Hook & Emma would be greatly appreciated Thanks!
Ahoy matey! Do we spy a CaptainSwan shipper? Welcome aboard! As you know, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) is under the impression that Neal (Michael Raymond-James) is dead, and as you should recall, Hook and Baelfire were once very close. However this tangled web of friendships and affections do not stop Hook from getting his flirt on at any chance he gets. Their chemistry is electric, no matter how hard Emma tries to fight it.TenacityandCalm: Please find out if/when we’ll see more of Emma’s past, especially her time in the foster care system.
We will get a sneak peek into Emma’s past in the very first season three scene! We all know that 11 years ago, Emma gave up her baby boy, but did you know how incredibly heartbreaking that decision was for her? And yes, Emma’s time in foster care is also addressed. Kuddos to Jennifer Morrison for bringing tears to our eyes multiple times in these first two episodes.Txangelwolf: Will Prince Eric be in more than 1 episode this season?
Why yes! Prince Eric (Gil McKinney) will be appearing in more than one episode. In fact, we’ve got scoop from the creators on this new prince. Horowitz spills, “Our take on Prince Eric is slightly different then what you saw in the movie, but it is hopefully honoring what people adore about that movie.” Kitsis adds, “Though our Ariel (JoAnna Garcia) really focuses much more on her and her journey and she also has a connection to one of our characters that you’ll see in her story.” Look for the little mermaid in episode six!
RobertBordelon1: Will Regina be on her best behavior in Neverland?
Nope! But that’s why we love her. Regina’s (Lana Parilla) motto always will be magic first, questions later, but that type of haughty, easy-way-out behavior is definitely not appreciated in Neverland. However she and Hook do have an amazingly sweet scene together that will make you look at villains in a whole new light.EvilDearie12: If I can ask a question, anything about Rumpelstiltskin in the first two episodes that are not too spoiler-y?
Get ready to embrace your inner evil! The Dark One is back and just as wicked as we remember. However, Neverland is a place that makes your confront your past, and Rumple’s past is much more twisted then we could ever imagine. Two words: Daddy issues.Motormouthcrazy: Can u ask them If we will hear Emma call Snow and Charming mom and dad again anytime soon
The M-word is definitely addressed in the second episode, but not in the happy way that you would hope. Kitsis says that Emma is will be facing a difficult realization this season. He explains, “Emma looks at Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin) as her mom, but does she actually think of her as her mom?” It would be very strange if you were the same age as your parentsâŚKeyzee29: Hope for Neal and Emma??!
There’s always hope! Especially because Neal is willing to do absolutely anything to get back to the woman he loves. And by anything, we mean embracing the one thing in his life that he has always tried to stay away from. Bonus Scoop: Hearing Neal explain to Mulan (Jamie Chung) how much he cares about Emma will tug on your SwanFire-loving heartstrings.AnnKine: Some Robin Hood scoop would be great. What’s his story this season? Will he get his own backstory episode?
We will see new Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) in the premiere, and guess what?âIt’s not via flashback! Robin Hood is one of the lucky few to have stayed behind in the Enchanted Forest post-curse has made himself quite comfortable in a castle that is filled with dark secrets. He’ll be helping Neal in his quest to get back to Emma and according to the OUAT creators, he’ll be getting some major screen time this season.
