Will Charming and Snow reconnect?
What’s this about Snow and Charming finding a way to communicate between worlds on Once Upon a Time? — Emily
NATALIE: It’s true. The star-crossed lovers will find a way, but like everything in these worlds, it comes with a price. “They find a direct line of communication that requires a great risk,” Ginnifer Goodwinsays. “There’s something very tragic about the fact that the risk that’s taken is potentially a great sacrifice that is made in order to get Emma and Snow White home. There’s something really beautiful about the selflessness that is necessary to communicate.”

Colin O’Donoghue & Jennifer Morrison talk ‘Once Upon A Time’ tension
The first season of Once Upon a Time did a great, albeit frustrating, job of taking away any possible love interest for Emma (Jennifer Morrison), just when it seemed like something might finally spark between the characters. It was a show about fairytales, and yet it seemed at times that the one true savior was going to be the one character without love in her life and therefore without the possibility of a happy ending.
But as the show has gone on, we’ve gotten glimpses at just how and why Emma’s journey can’t be as simple or easy as finding some guy with whom to ride off into the sunset. She loved once—and whether or not he was her true love, she was deeply hurt by his seeming betrayal. It has kept her closed off and guarded and fiercely independent in a way that can be very lonely—but also character building. And it is when she comes to truly be okay with the fate that has befallen her, that is when she should be open enough to find true love.
Or so the fairytales like to say.
“Emma’s plight seems to constantly be to be the victim for the greater good…She’s really had to sacrifice her own feelings and her own emotions over and over again because she has this calling on her life to do things for other people. I think ultimately her journey is finding a way to embrace that and realize that is actually a good thing, but along the way there will also be a lot of heartbreak and pain to reconcile that,” Morrison said when LA TV Insider Examiner visited the Vancouver set* of Once Upon A Time last week.
But Morrison also noted that she certainly hopes Emma finds a little love in her life soon because it has been such a while, and she has been through so much.
This second season of Once Upon A Time introduced not one but two potential contenders in the form of Henry’s baby daddy (Michael Raymond-James) and Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue). Henry’s father left Emma once, and though he had a great reason, it may not be one she can see past the hurt to understand. Hook, on the other hand, she can see coming and can manipulate him just as well as he attempts to do with her.
“It’s been really fun working with Colin and having Emma interact with that character because they’re kindred spirits,” Morrison continued.
“They’re both thieves, and they both come from troubled paths, and they’ve both lost someone that they love, and they recognize [that] in each other, so there’s that camaradarie and that combativeness right away.”
O’Donoghue reiterated this sentiment, saying that Emma and Hook have a “mutual respect,” even if an “unusual relationship” from the start. She did, after all, leave him on the beanstalk—an action that Morrison laughed he should understand, considering he’s not deserving of trust.
“They kind of see an element of themselves in each other [but] there’s an element of distrust there, especially on Emma’s part because he’s a pirate and he’s ruthless,” O’Donoghue said.
“I don’t know if Hook trusts her or not; I don’t think he cares. I think he’s the kind of guy who thinks ‘Oh, I’ll have a go, and if it works out, it works out, and if doesn’t, it doesn’t’.”
To that note, O’Donoghue admitted that Hook is a pretty selfish character— “not adverse to using his sexuality to get what he wants,” But right now, what he wants is revenge and only revenge. Any sparks that might fly (and O’Donoghue teased that Hook will have sparks with “a bunch of women in general”) will be as a manipulation to move him further on his path toward revenge.
“His loyalty lies with himself. His loyalty doesn’t lie with anyone but for Hook. His motivation is sort of to get his revenge on Rumplestiltskin, whatever that means and however he can get there. That’s what it’s all about for him,” O’Donoghue said.
“I think that’s his overriding motivation in life now. He’s just completely self-serving, and if that means that he can have a relationship with one person to get what he wants out of that relationship, [he will]. He’s sort of a sociopath—just somebody who sort of manipulates someone and uses them for their own game. He’s a charming one, but that’s my take on it.”
Do you hope to see Emma and Hook hook up, or is there another woman in either land on whom you hope he sets his charm? Let us know your ‘ships in the comments below!

Interview for TV.com with Jennifer Morrison
Earlier this week I was lucky enough to talk to Jennifer Morrison, who plays Emma Swan, the Sheriff of Storybrooke and long-lost daughter of Snow White, in everyone’s favorite fairy-tale drama thriller, Once Upon A Time. She was so incredibly lovely and insightful and thoughtful over the phone, I’m still shaking guys I’M STILL SHAKING. She also dropped a couple hints that I THINK might be SPOILERS?! Let’s read and discuss!
Does Emma have a jail tatto?
(Laughs) JAIL TATTOOS? No she has a tattoo, but that tattoo she’s had since she was probably 14. I think you’ve seen glimpses of it, it’s on her left wrist, it’s a flower on her left wrist. It hasn’t been featured in any situation yet, you’ll see it more in Episode 6. Just kind of by circumstances, but yeah, it’s definitely a youthful decision on her part but ends up being meaningful in the long run.Is Emma going to accept that Snow White is her mom, or is that something she struggles with?
I think it’s something she’ll probably struggle with for the rest of her life on some levels. I feel like the writers have done a really great job of writing this reunion and the aftermath of it in a way that’s very realistic. Anyone who’s in a situation where all they’ve known for 28 years is that they were given up and they were abandoned, and is suddenly faced with meeting the people who gave them up and abandoned them—even if they had good reason for it—there’s still complicated emotions to work through in terms of accepting that and understanding that perspective. And so obviously Emma is not very advanced emotionally, because she’s someone who, the only way they survive is to shut down and put up a thick wall of armor to be able to not get hurt over and over again… so her first reaction to something is to not deal with it, to shut down, and her next reaction is to make a joke out of it, and her third reaction is to start to deal with the fact there might be emotions going on and start trying to figure out how to accept them. So she’s definitely got a process that she has to go through to even get to a place where she can start to deal with emotions. So that’s going to complicate the way that reunion goes down—it’s not going to just be happy-go-lucky, there’s a lot to work out.You obviously have your emotional hands full, but is there a chance Emma’s getting a love interest this season?
Yeah, I mean that’s something I really want to have happen this season for sure. Season 1 for Emma was really about falling in love with Henry and Season 2 is now her reconciling with her parents in some way and opening herself to the possibility of romantic love. That’s a whole new level of adventure for her of course. I feel like it makes sense, in real life we have to deal with our own issues of childhood or our parents and when we put those things in perspective that’s when we become capable of opening ourselves to healthy relationships in our own lives. So I think it makes sense, especially since we’re dealing with fairy-tale-themed situations that they would sort of have those two things coinciding in Emma’s life.So is Jared Gilmore growing right before your eyes right now?
Yeah! We’re always like, “How tall is he going to be today?” but it’s working. He definitely has grown a bit but he still has that boyish term. I think what’s so great about him in that role is that he’s a real kid. In between he wants to play video games and run around with his sister and have fun back home… I think there’s a real kid element in him that comes through in that character and really serves the storytelling. You don’t feel like you’re watching like, you know, the Olivier of children where he’s like “Iiii’m a great ACTOR!”… you have those kids sometimes who are such actors at that age they don’t seem like kids, and he’s a nice balance of both, so despite the growing his youthful spirit is shining through.What are the pros and cons of green screen?
(Groans) Well, I have found the green screen gives me nightmares but only because that color does not go well with my personality. That color is highly anxious for me, for some reason. But it gives us the capacity to do some VERY cool things. It’s a Catch-22 with that, because as much as you can get to hour twelve, and your eyes are bugging out of your head and you don’t know what to do with yourself because you’ve been staring at a green, bright green, fluorescent green room for twelve hours, at the end of the day ON SET they’ve already built the place and overlayed it with what you’re shooting. So you have the immediate gratification of seeing what it’s like. It’s AMAZING to be able to see what they’re capable of. I always say we could never shoot this show without green tape, because we reconstruct all the geography on this green room with green tape, and that’s how you know where a wall is or where a pillar is or a window is or a piece of furniture or whatever. I was like, “How would we ever make this show without green tape?” Really, green tape is what holds Once Upon a Time together. It’s definitely an adventure in there but I think a well-worth-it adventure. We’re in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything, and that’s what’s new about television and film these days. These kind of fantasy stories could never have been told in this way 20 years ago. What’s new is we can put fantasy onscreen and make it look real. http://www.tv.com/news/once-upon-a-time-q-and-a-jennifer-morrison-drops-a-few-hints-about-season-2-29691/"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home.

Josh Dallas previews David in danger on ‘Once Upon A Time’
Last we left Storybrooke, Henry (Jared Gilmore) was having nightmares in which he found himself in a fire-filled room. Out in the now desolate fairytale land, Aurora (Sarah Bolger) was having the same dreams. Finally, they spotted each other, and Henry told her not to be afraid. But his words were not really all that reassuring, considering he still awoke with a very real burn on his arm. Unlike regular dream worlds, the things encountered in this one could hurt you—could possibly even kill you—so Regina (Lana Parrilla) went to Gold (Robert Carlyle) for help. The result may not prove to be enough, though, as in the next all-new episode “Into the Deep,” Regina and Gold must put David’s (Josh Dallas) life in jeopardy in an attempt to protect Henry from further danger and put him in contact with Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin) across the lands.
“It’s a huge danger. He could go in and never come back,” Dallas stressed when LA TV Insider Examiner visited the Vancouver set of Once Upon A Time* earlier this month.
“But to talk about true love! He just wanted to see her just one more time, whether that meant him staying in there forever or getting out. He knew he’d have that connection so it’s a huge sacrifice. Of course, he’s not thinking of it that way—he’s not thinking of it as a sacrifice—he’s just thinking of ‘I want to see my wife’.”
Though Henry has been acting as a sort-of “runner” between Storybrooke and the fairytale land, communicating what’s been going on in each back and forth, David, Regina, and Gold work together and come to the agreement that David should go into the world instead. This requires “putting him under,” which is where the aforementioned danger comes in.
“He’ll get them back somehow. That’s the idea, and he’s so confident; he’s so confident about the fact that she’s in there, and he’ll find a way. And she’s so competent and so smart, and he knows that, and so he’s willing to just get in there and see her one more time,” Dallas said.
“He’s definitely not a reluctant leader; he’s not a reluctant hero. That’s just the man he is; he has it inside of him, and he’s a natural leader. I don’t think he’ll ever force it on people—he asks; he says ‘I will be your leader for as long as you want me to. Help me save my family, and I will help get your family back.’ So I think he’s never going to be overbearing about it, but it’s just where he naturally falls.”
Of course, there is additional danger in the fact that Cora (Barbara Hershey) is still roaming around with his wife in fairytale land, and there is really nothing David can do about that. She really is the villain of the moment, with David finding a lot of common ground with both Regina and Gold.
As Dallas put it, David and Gold’s relationship of late has turned into “mutual understanding and a mutual respect. That started to happen for David back in the finale of season one when they had the swordfight in the forest in fairytale land, and David said ‘Did you love someone once?’ And [Rumple] goes ‘Yeah, and she died.’ And in that moment, he’s sort of connected to him, and he gets it; he sees he’s human and that he does have a soul and he does have a heart—or he did anyway. And then Gold asks for dating advice, you know, so I think this kind of bromance between them is cool, and I hope we explore that a lot more.”
When it comes to Cora, all Dallas would shake his head and say was that she is a “dangerous, dangerous character.”
“This is a moment for David to have a little bit of redemption and to be able to fix the wrongs he did in season one,” Dallas considered.
“He’s thrown obstacles, but it’s not in Charming’s—David’s—nature to be defeated, so he’s always going to push forward…No one can go up against Cora alone. That’s always what the best leaders do: they always hire the best people.”
And in this case, David is relying on a little bit of help from some who have worked against him in the past, but it’s a whole new challenge now.
“Charming, Gold, Snow, Emma– these are the characters that are the basis of the whole thing, so they’ve either got to stick together or they’re all f***ed,” he laughed.

A new episode of Once Upon a Time is right around the corner (Nov. 25) and we can’t wait to find out more about the separation between Storybrooke and Fairytale Land. Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) at Rolling Stone’s official AMA after-party earlier this week in Hollywood to discuss what’s coming up on the show.
Wetpaint Entertainment: What’s in store for you character on Once Upon a Time the rest of the season?
Jennifer Morrison: I don’t know for the whole rest of the season…I know for the next little bit. We’re definitely struggling to get back from Fairytale Land obviously. I don’t want to be separated from Henry obviously and so we are up against all sorts of new villains and new adventures in a strange land and dealing with Captain Hook and dealing with Cora and also sort of seeing the mother/daughter relationship develop a little bit more between Mary Margaret and Emma and you know really just seeing Emma’s desperation to get back to her son.There’s a boy that Aurora met in a dream recently. Anything that you can tell us about that?
All I can say is that we’re going to start seeing how to communicate between lands.What has your favorite scene in Once Upon a Time that you’ve starred in so far?
That’s really tough to say. We’re really lucky. The writers are so great. We get to do lots of scenes that we love. I think that Captain Hook and I have had some really fun sort of different stuff this season, which has been nice. Every time I work with Ginny Goodwin, we just have such a great time. I get to work with such a good friend so it’s kind of amazing.It seems like a really fun show to be a part of.
Yeah. It really is a special place to work.
