What can you tell us about ABC’s new Once Upon a Time spinoff, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland? — Emily, Provo, Utah

Some familiar Once characters will likely be crossing over into the new world. “I want to hang out with the caterpillar,” says Josh Dallas (Charming). “You know, have some tea, have some mushrooms.” Emilie de Ravin, whose Belle remains in Storybrooke while her friends are in Neverland, may also be given a ticket to Wonderland. “I’m totally intrigued,” says de Ravin, who confirms she remains signed as a series regular to the original show. De Ravin just so happens to top the wish list of Sophie Lowe, who plays Wonderland’s Alice. “I love Beauty and the Beast so much I named my cat Belle,” Lowe says.

Of course, there will also be new characters. “I’ve heard rumors that we’re going to bring in another very famous male Disney villain who hasn’t yet been seen in the Once world,” says Peter Gadiot (Cyrus). “He’s not from Wonderland but shares a tie to my character.” Considering Cyrus is a genie, Gadiot must be talking about Aladdin baddie Jafar. Give that man a flying carpet!

Thanks for the scoop! 🙂

Ok, they’re now obliged to show that on my screen! Belle and Alice, two shy girls just waiting to show their inner bada**ery to us, can I just say awesome? I’m totally shipping Belle/Alice if it happens!

Of course, there will also be new characters. “I’ve heard rumors that we’re going to bring in another very famous male Disney villain who hasn’t yet been seen in the Once world,” says Peter Gadiot (Cyrus). “He’s not from Wonderland but shares a tie to my character.” Considering Cyrus is a genie, Gadiot must be talking about Aladdin baddie Jafar.

Jafar, huh? Can’t wait!

Interesting! I can totally see Belle helping out Alice for an episode or two. That might rekindle her love of adventure and help her to go find Bae.

Jafar! Woo!

In all fairness, the White Rabbit is now the most reliable and renewable source for realm travel with Jefferson’s Hat being destroyed and the wardrobe ashes and magic beans being consumed on use. The option is the writers having an exceptional creativity to bring new portal sources to the table in order to get Neal from FTL to NL and the gang from NL to SB, and that’s not even considering the possibility that Belle may be travelling from SB to NL to find Neal.

That said, it’d be a bit too early in the new series for a more impactful crossover, wouldn’t it? 😕

[RumplesGirl]

I don’t know. I guess I can see Alice traveling to SB through portal with the Knave and Rabbit, getting some assistance from Belle ( I don’t know what) and in exchange ARK sends Belle to FTL after she’s learned that Bae is still alive from Rumple in NL.

Well, the Wonderland series is supposed to correspond with the events of the 2nd season, so if we see Belle in present day, it would be before the gang left for Neverland.

Or maybe we will see a Belle from the past in her pre-Rumple days! That is still a story yet to be told.

Of course, as a huge Belle fan, I love the idea of Belle appearing on the new show.

I expect they’ll have a scene or two showing time passing by in OUATinWL at some point if they really start the pilot with the arrival of the wraith. They can’t have the sister show be chronologically behind the parent one forever if they want to do crossovers here and there, after all.

I was thinking the same thing.

[RumplesGirl]

I think the events of OUATinWL begin with the start of the second season, but I think Demileto is right. If they want to do crossovers, they can’t have the sister show behind. So maybe by the time Alice gets to SB, the JR has just left.

I don’t see a problem with Wonderland being a season behind. If they suddenly rushed to catch up, we’d be skipping over time. I think we will see subtle references in the new show to things that happened last year on OuaT. They are separate shows- Wonderland will be mostly independent with the occasional crossover.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were separate shows too, having crossovers only occasionally. However, whenever they did the Buffy main character that guest starred in Angel was acknowledged as being away for a few episodes, first to account for the time to go from Sunnydale to Los Angeles and second to not overload the actor/actress with work. If crossovers are to be done between OUAT and OUATinWL both shows’ chronology will have to match up at some point, or we may face weird stuff like Belle and Alice having an adventure in WL in the second half of the spin-off’s season when she should be in the hospital without her memories.

As far as rushing things to catch up and skipping time goes, there’s an speculation that the White Rabbit’s portals travel through time as well. Who knows?
