I am pretty sure this is going to be a young Greg. And if this kid is the reason Regina wanted Henry, wouldn’t that ultimately make Greg the one responsible for him finding bae and thus his undoing? They said the placement of this episode was for a major reason and this could be why since we know rumple has vowed to kill the boy. If he reasons this out he could spare his grandson and not cause more friction with his son (which I believe killing anyone would do but espcially Henry).

Ooooh. I agree with Phee. I think you’re on to something here. The Seer was very vague about how the boy is.

Yes, agreed. And everyone affiliated officially with this show has been very careful not to leak anything about this boy’s identity. I haven’t read any major spoiler’s on him, except maybe that he’s “Owen” the boy who lost his mom. Maybe he’s the boy who inspired Regina to adopt Henry, which in a very indirect way, would have caused Emma to come to town and for Bae to be found.

Nice find! So hopefully, we’ll see “Tamara” go up in smoke (not literally, ’cause that would be an arsenal offense).

-“The Miller’s Daughter” is All About Eve … ahem … Cora (guest star Rose McGowan). Turns out she and Snow’s mother Eva knew each other before Regina was even born. And they’ve never exactly been friendly.

I think Princess Eva and Prince Henry were siblings, and that Eva disapproved of her brother being married to a miller’s daughter like Cora due to class divide.

-Remember how in the episode titled “In the Name of the Brother,” Cora and Rumpelstiltskin shared a kiss, sealing a deal “like they used to”? This episode will show you just exactly what Cora meant by that remark.

Another spoiler indicated that Rumple is the one who used to be smitten with Cora, so they definitely had some sort of romantic relationship. Perhaps they even sealed the deal of him spinning gold for her firstborn with a kiss. That could potentially make Rumple the birth father of Regina. 😕

-The magic candle that could have saved Eva when Snow was a little girl makes another appearance — will it get used this time? We aren’t telling!

I think Snow will use the candle to save “one of their own” and that could include Regina, who is potentially Snow’s cousin, her step-mother, and Henry’s adoptive mother.

-There are some great emotional moments in this hour of TV, the first of which involves Mr. Gold and Belle. Get out the hankies.

Another episode confirmed that as her lays dying, Rumple pours out his heart to an amnesiac Belle, which stirs some forgotten memory, but sadly, isn’t enough to restore her full identity as Belle.

-And maybe keep them out for a moment involving Regina. Her heart isn’t completely cold and black.

I think we’re going to see Regina sacrifice herself for Henry.

This episode is a total game-changer for one of your favorite characters.

I took this to meant that something major will happen to one of our beloved characters. Perhaps it’s Belle, who finally becomes Lacey by the show’s end, and we see her take on a completely different persona.

Slurpeez, I read that differently. It’s a little small, but doesn’t it say “her relationship with a SMITTEN RUMPLE.” I think it’s Rumple’s who in love with her.

Yes, you’re correct. I read that too fast. It’s Rumple who is “smitten” with Cora, which makes way more sense given that we know Rumple thought himself unlovable when Belle came along.

Interesting. So it IS Cora who was “smitten” with Rumplestiltskin. Very interesting!

Question: I am a huge fan of “Rumbelle” on Once Upon a Time. Do you know what is going to happen between those two once Rumple’s back from his trip to the Big Apple? —Mélodie
Ausiello: This Sunday, as Rumple lay dying, he makes a most passionate outpouring to Belle that is sure to make ‘shippers such as yourself kvell. But will it be enough to spark her memory? ”This influx of hearing who you were or are, or even thinking about what you’re supposed to be, obviously sort of goes round and round and round in your mind,” Emilie de Ravin allows. And while it might not bust open Belle’s floodgates ASAP, she says, “There’s always going to be that connection with him in a certain respect.”

Question: The chemistry between Once Upon a Time‘s Jennifer Morrison and Michael Raymond-James is amazing. What’s next for Neal and Emma? —Patti
Ausiello: In the short-term, as glimpsed in these pics? A bit of side-by-side sword-brandishing. But as for them reconnecting in more intimate ways, “It’s hard for Emma,” says cocreator Eddy Kitsis. “Their dream was Tallahassee, to just go and get regular jobs — and now he’s doing that with [fiancée Tamara]. And since Emma’s the kind of character who has a wall up around her heart, I’m not sure she wants to admit it hurts her, but we’re definitely going to see that it does. And it affects him because we know that he didn’t want to leave her. He’s in love with her. What happened [in “Manhattan”] is a situation that neither of them ever thought would happen, so now what do you do? That’s what a lot of the rest of the season’s about.” http://tvline.com/2013/03/05/glee-spoilers-rachel-pregnant-ask-ausiello/

Rose McGowan Returns To Her Witchy Roots

By JARETT WIESELMAN March 05, 2013

Rose McGowan played one of TV’s most iconic witches on The CW’s Charmed, and now, 7 years later, she’s getting back on the broom (metaphorically speaking) to bring Young Cora to life on Sunday’s all-new episode of Once Upon A Time.

The episode, titled The Miller’s Daughter, not only reveals her long history with Rumple, but how Cora became the powerful witch she is today. ETonline caught up with McGowan to talk about her TV return, how it felt to be working against a greenscreen again and what’s been the most lovely side-effect of playing Paige Matthews.

ETonline: Were you previously a fan of the show?
Rose McGowan: I had seen the show, but not been able to follow it because of traveling. Ginnifer Goodwin owns my old house, so we’ve always been friendly — then the creators, invited me into their office and asked if I’d ever consider doing something on their show, and I wanted to … as long as I could play some high level acting tennis with Robert Carlyle. We had a tremendous time. He’s an amazingly talented actor and anytime you get to play act with someone of that caliber, you jump at it.

ETonline: Considering you’re playing a younger version of a pre-existing character, did you watch Barbara Hershey did to inform your performance?
McGowan: I did watch quite a bit of her stuff, and then I threw it all away. I let it sink in and land where it was going to in my pea brain, but then I forgot about it. I didn’t try to match her at all, so if it’s there, that’s just a result of my previous research.

ETonline: I also have to say, the costumes you get to wear are kind of next level.
McGowan: Oh, he kills me. Eduardo Castro is the costume designer, and he actually costumed me when I played Ann-Margret in the Elvis miniseries, so I’d already met him and what they serve up on that show is spectacular. It’s like doing Marie Antoinette back in the golden days of film.

ETonline: It’s been 7 years since Charmed ended, and 7 years since you did anything on TV. Are those two things correlated?
McGowan: It took me a long time to want to set foot back on another TV set because Charmed was such a special and long experience for me. I had a great time making the show, but there’s no balance in your life. You’re so tied down doing a TV series; I didn’t see my friends, I didn’t see my family or really do anything but work for five years, practically. So after it ended, I started traipsing around the world and not caring that much about being tied down to Los Angeles. But everyone on [the OUAT] set is so amazing, I’m ready to do another TV show as a result of the experience.

ETonline: Like Charmed, Once Upon A Time features a lot of greenscreen work….
McGowan: [laughs] Yeah, so have a lot of my movies. I’ve done some of my best work to a tennis ball that’s hanging off of a metal clip. Literally sobbing my heart out to a green tennis ball. For some reason, that’s how it shook out for me.

ETonline: Is it hard to re-adjust to that kind of acting after 7 years?
McGowan: Yes, but also, there are little things — like Rumple has to get a contract to appear, so you freeze, the prop guy comes in, gives him the contract, and you resume action. I already knew all those little details because of Charmed. Whereas when I started on Charmed, no one explained to me what was going on. They’d say, “And now you orb.” I was like, “What?!?!” [laughs] No one ever really told me what all those words meant.

ETonline: You joined Charmed halfway through its run, so you already knew it was a popular show, but has the audience’s enduring love for it surprised you?
McGowan: Oh my God, completely. I think it really became people’s family more than anything. I’ve met people who have named their babies Paige — which is such an honor. It’s interesting when you go out into the world and see which of your roles have affected people. There are some movies that I absolutely hate but someone else loves — people love things for different reasons, but I think people loved Charmed because it felt like a family. And like with Once Upon A Time, they love that battle between good and evil!

I like your idea of water connecting Enchanted Forest and Neverland Phee, we have seen a similar thing in the waters of Lake Nostos connecting Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke.

So true, I hadn’t even thought of that connection! Rumple used that well to bring back magic, so the Lake Nostos water had to have been accessible from our world’s side, but then it was also present in FTL too. It’s an already established rule, so why couldn’t Altantica exist in a similar form.

Underwater passageways between worlds? Why not? 😉

This has become the “Captain Swan” thread, which I never intended here, but here is another hint at what’s in store:

PaleyFest 2013: Colin O’Donoghue Talks ONCE UPON A TIME
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKtdQ5AoI_g

Note Colin O’Donoghue’s answer when asked if Hook is serious about maybe pursuing something with Emma:

“I don’t know. I don’t know you have to wait and see. He could be, he might be.”

In other words, “Yes.”

[Slurpeez]

Yeah, plus for all the Captain Swan shippers, there could be hope. The panel discussion at PaleyFest was rather telling, if you read between the lines:

Q: What’s the balance about making Hook, Captain Hook, but also making him ultimately pairable with one of these women?”
A: “Well, you know, I think he is out for himself. The interesting thing about our show is that we don’t write all the good characters completely good and we don’t write all the bad characters completely bad. At the end of the day, they’re all searching for their own happy endings. It’s just some of them have a harder path.” Eddy Kitsis, at Paleyfest answering.
