Question: Any new Once Upon a Time scoop? —Patti
Ausiello: The show is casting a mysterious, dangerous and vindictive God-like figure known obscurely as “Distinguished Gentleman” or “DG.” Given that series co-creator Eddy Kitsis summed up Season 5B as “hell,” which quickly sparked speculation that the ABC series next will brave the Underworld, one must wonder if they’re thusly casting a very dapper Devil.

In much of media, the devil figure is dressed in dapper clothing, resplendent in his finery to belie the ill intent underneath.

Yeah, it’s the Devil/Hades.

For example:

Sam Winchester as Lucifer

John Milton as Satan in The Devil’s Advocate

Lucifer in Reaper

The Devil in Being Human

…the list goes on

Definitely Hades. Another example of a dapper devil is Joel Grey in Dallas:

If it is Hades, it should be James Woods so perhaps they are going for Lucifer over Hades.

A female example of a dapper devil is Liz Hurley in Bedazzled

A long and fine tradition. And for a slightly more obscure TV reference, note the dude in the suit.

Not necessarily. James Woods is a big name. It’s unlikely they could get him. So, I’d say they are going for Hades because Lucifer has too many Christian ties, whereas Hades is Greek myth and thus more “friendly” on this show which has already stuck their toe in the Greek pond.

Not to mention there’s been way too many hints otherwise. We literally just had Charon and the Fury earlier this Season. That already confirms that the Greek Underworld exists in this show’s universe.
