    ABC’s Once Upon a Time will shed light on two differently evil sisters during the back half of Season 5 — and to that end has cast tweenage Regina and Zelena.

    TVLine has learned that ONCE UPON A TIME Ava Acres, who recurs on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (as Young Rebecca) and who also memorably haunted Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Melinda May during the Cavalry’s backstory, has been cast in Episode 19 as Young Regina.

    English actress Isabella Blake-Thomas (BBC’s The Green Balloon Club), meanwhile, will play Young Zelena in the same episode, which is titled “Sisters.”

    In case anyone wanted to know, yes Ava Acres is Latina, according to Adam, which was what the casting call specifically asked for:

    @ouattvdd we cast a Latina actress

    When it comes to the Mills Women….the Casting Department is always on point!

    Seen at age 10, Regina is described as neglected and lonely, with zero interest in her mother’s royal duties. Twelve-year-old Zelena meanwhile is coming to terms with the magical ability her father despises so much.

    Barbara Hershey — who returns as Cora in the winter premiere (airing March 6) — likely will appear in the episode as the girls’ shared mother.

    Yeah, I’ve got the feeling Regina is going to land in Oz somehow and cross paths with Zelena who accidently magicks a tornado that brings Regina to Oz. And of course Cora has a hand in her daughters not remembering one another.

    They’re adorable and I could immediately tell who was who–A+.

    It will be interesting if we see either Rose or Barbara back on set for this episode. It sounds like you’re on the right track, it’s just a matter of Cora’s role.

    From the full article:

    Timeline wise, it might make more sense to have Rose McGowan appear in this flashback as Cora instead, but I heard she decided to quit acting.

    Ten/twelve years of motherhood can age a woman quickly. (Though my mother sometimes looks younger to me now than she did when I was a kid…maybe because her stresses are less?)

    Timelinewise, Cora would’ve met Leopold, had Zelena and given her up, then about a year/ a year and 3 months after Zelena’s birth would’ve met Henry Sr, had Regina thus making Zelena 2 years older.

    Would definitely explain why Eva was still a witch to young Cora because it had only been a year since Eva told Leopold about Cora and the gardner thus ruining Cora’s life. Eva would’ve taken great pleasure in seeing what Cora had become and how she had fallen so far.

    All magic comes with a price!
