So, is OUAT still being filmed in Vancouver, BC, or is it now being filmed in Seattle, WA? It’s really hard to tell because they obviously have a lot of shots of the Seattle skyline, including the Space Needle.
Based on all the filming info, it’s still in the Vancouver area. They just dress up parts of Vancouver to look enough like Seattle. The shots of the Seattle skyline and stuff are likely added in via digital effects.
[adrotate group="5"]But they knew some things didn’t they? I think I recall Lana knowing why EQ hated Snow White early on, or August knowing he was Pinnochio. These actors don’t seem to be acting like they know much of anything.
They have been told certain things in advanced in the past. I recall JMo knew that Baelfire was Henry’s father since she filmed the Pilot, or at least very early on during Season 1. MRJ was told that Neal was Baelfire and Rumple’s son at his audition for the role. David Anders said that he knew Dr. Whale was Victor Frankenstein since he was cast in the role, and it was the main reason he wanted to do it. Lana said that she knew that Regina killed Marian early on during 3B.
Every year AdAge puts out a very fun chart that tracks how much money network TV shows get on average for commercials that air during the show. The numbers are finally up for 2017 and here’s how OUAT stands compared to 2016.

2017: $81,105
2016: $109,410
That’s quite a drop likely due to S6’s ratings and the move to Friday for S7. It’s also now one of the lowest ad share shows at ABC (and the lowest drama).
A big thing is definitely the Friday move, as if you look at all the other Friday shows on all networks, none of them have adrates over 97,000:
Inhumans (ABC) – 96,770
Agents of SHIELD (ABC) – 94,921
Hell’s Kitchen (FOX) – 94,507
Blindspot (NBC) – 90,846
Hawaii Five-0 (CBS) – 87,302
Blue Bloods (CBS) – 83,319
OUAT (ABC) – 81,105
Taken (NBC) – 77,839
MacGyver (CBS) – 76,143
20/20 (ABC) – 63,400
Dateline NBC (NBC) – 52,871
The Exorcist (FOX) – 50,546
Jane the Virgin (CW) – 21,143
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CW) – 14,371Interesting observation is that AoS has a higher adrate than OUAT. I guess advertisers have more faith in AoS, since it’s not going through a reboot, and it’s part of the Marvel brand.
I think she is going to be Robyn but grown up, especially given the announcement that Bex will return as a guest star for several episodes. It makes a lot of sense, and technically Robyn isn’t from Oz but from our world, same as Henry, even though both of her parents were fairytale characters.
Adam was quite clear that she didn’t have to do with Zelena or the Wicked Witch at all:
This character won't have a similar backstory. It has nothing to do with Zelena or the wicked witch or oz

I still think she’s Mother Gothel, the witch from Rapunzel’s story.
Initial ratings for Inhumans are 0.9 and 0.8. A little better than I was expecting, but I doubt it will hold in the coming weeks. I watched it last night, and I found it quite terrible.
ABC Fall Drama premiere ratings so far:
The Good Doctor – 2.2
Grey’s Anatomy – 2.3
Designated Survivor – 1.1
How to Get Away with Murder – 1.0Major ouch for Murder, considering its previous finale was a 1.4.
Inhumans has its 2 hour premiere tonight, which many are expecting will bomb.
I think the Pied Piper comment was honestly just a joke. It’s like how they once joked about Henry going to the dance with Gretel, and that never ended up happened.
