OUAT Creators Q&A

[Slurpeez]

The creators of OUAT, Horowitz and Kitsis, answer some questions people have been wondering about SB.

Is there something special about babies or the children on the show?
EK: The rule that was set up was that everyone from the enchanted forest or that land can’t leave Storybrooke. Obviously the only two people are Henry and Emma and then there’s this new guy that came into town, whoever he is.
AH: It was never meant to be a force field that you bounce off of. It’s more along the lines of something that keeps you from going, or draws you back.
EK: Even in the pilot, Red said, “I should have gone to Boston.” Granny said, “I’m sorry my heart attack…” The trigger can be a family emergency. Your car can break down, it could be you giving birth.
AH: The comings and goings of the folks in Storybrooke is something we continue to explore and continues to play a part in the show.

Storybrooke appears to be this small town and often times it looks as if people are constantly meeting each other for the first time.
AH: I would say that the town isn’t as small as it first appears. We’re seeing a slice of the town, but there could always mean there’s much more there than we’re seeing at first.
EK: I spent my first nine years in town called Mankato, Minnesota, which is a small town of 50,000 people. But 50,000 people means you don’t always run into someone when you go to the grocery store or hardware store. We’re showing a small part of Storybrooke, I think and there’s always a sense of, we haven’t seen everybody yet but at the same time there’s a nice community.

Are we going to see more of Storybrooke turn against Regina slowly but surely, as more characters are added to the mix?
EK: One of the interesting things Emma does is get people to stand up to bullies, whether it’s Regina or injustices.
AH: What we’ve already seen is people are giving her a harder time than she ever had in the 28 years of the curse prior to Emma’s arrival. There’s no reason to think that won’t continue.
