    Tick-tock, Dearie! If you’re a young actress who can brandish a Scottish burr, Once Upon a Time is looking for you.

    TVLine has learned that for an early Season 5 episode, the ABC drama is guest-casting the role of Rumplestiltskin’s mother, Evanna, to appear in flashbacks.

    But this much TVLine can now reveal: Once is seeking an actress in her mid-20s to early 30s to play the “stunningly beautiful” Evanna, who is described as “plucky, strong and imbued with an unshakeable sense of self-confidence.” Evanna sometimes acts before she thinks, though unlike her son she never acts out of pure self-interest. Rather, her noble spirit stands in stark contrast to the now-dark soul of her offspring.

    Interesting. I wonder if she’s tied to any sort of Arthurian mythos given our Camelot location this season. Maybe Evanna is a code name.

    Maybe Evanna is a code name.

    For Morgan le Fay, who has many variants of her name, including Morganna.

    Yup. My thought as well. Evanna = Morganna = The Black Fairy

    You guys think Fairies can have babies?

    I was generally excited to see this character was being cast. If its an early episode does that mean Rumple will wake up sooner rather than later?

    I think the Black Fairy got un-fairy’d at some point.

    And as to Rumple himself, not necessarily. They can do a Rumple flashback with his mom without needing Bobby to do anything either than be a comatose patient and obviously Bobby as Rumple won’t be interacting with the actress cast as Evanna.

    I’m really interested to see what they do with Rumple’s mom. I hope that she’ll get more of a role than Belle’s Mom did…

    Hmm. Three points:
    1) I once read a book where a..witch..demon..goddess(?) lady was named Evanna. It wasn’t really explained but she wad a major character and very powerful. I don’t think OUAT will go that route but sweet god, if they did!!!
    2) Okay so what Mmm…. Evanna+Malcolm= Rumpelstiltskin??? This had better be explained. That is just a really odd name to name your child when both names are relatively normal.
    3) I am betting this is the season we learn Gold’s first name.

    I’m still hoping Gold doesn’t -have- a first name.

    I’m sooooooooo freaking excited for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rumple’s momma!!!!! Peter Pan’s baby momma!!!!!!! Considering we’re dealing with Camelot…..I’m placing bets on either Morgause or Morgana Le Fay!!!

    Seriously though, besides Black Swan, Rumple’s Mom has further hyped Season 5 a little for me!
