Once Upon a Time Bosses Preview a Very Grumpy Outing and Tackle 6 Big Questions
by Vlada Gelman
ABCs Once Upon a Time this Sunday will weave a magical tale about love that might leave you
grumpy?
The episode, which features a guest-starring turn by Angel/Dollhouse alumna Amy Acker as a fairy named Nova, reveals the backstory of Snow Whites crankiest dwarf pal. As the object of Grumpys affection, [Nova] is going to help tell the story of how Grumpy became Grumpy, says executive producer Eddie Kitsis, who describes the hour as in the vein of a Pixar [movie].
As for Emilie de Ravins encore as Belle, Shes got a nice little scene with Grumpy, continues the EP. Shes sitting there [alive], with the person who loves her [Rumpelstiltskin] not realizing it, and he would be someone I would not want to piss off.
Alas, theres likely to be more heartache ahead for the beasts beauty, who will be back probably more towards the end of the season, reveals Kitsis.
Heres what Kitsis and fellow showrunner Adam Horowitz had to say about Onces other big mysteries, during a recent Q&A:
WHO IS THE STRANGER? AND WHAT HES DOING WITH THE BOOK? | Not surprisingly, the answers to these two questions are deeply interconnected. When the consequences of Augusts tampering with the book (and him getting it back to Henry) are revealed in a later episode, it will inform who [he] is, teases Kitsis. Those pages are his story, youd say. Adds Horowitz: What we saw August doing in that episode
is the first step in peeling back the onion on who this guy is and what his agenda in Storybrooke is. Augusts goal is a very specific goal. But if you think the handsome mystery man is the author of said book, you might want to guess again. Who wrote it
will probably be something more for Season 2, reveals Kitsis.
WILL MARY MARGARET AND DAVID EVER GET TOGETHER? | The Evil Queens curse that is keeping them apart, one way or another, is no easy-to-break spell, and as such it will definitely test them, says Kitsis. And Kathryns vanishing, an arc that will run through several episodes, will only add complications. Horowitz, however, promises that the writers are building to something this season with [Mary and David] that were excited to share with you.
WHOS COMING BACK? | All you Sheriff Graham lovers, brace yourselves: A possible encore by Jamie Dornan is up in the air. The producers would absolutely like to have the actor back, but it is a scheduling thing that is beyond our control, Kitsis explains. Right now, we are trying to move Heaven and Earth to hopefully make it happen. One return TVLine previously scooped is David Anders as Dr. Whale, on March 11. However, the reveal of who he is [in fairytale land] will not be this season.
Sebastian Stans Once Upon a Time Role Revealed
WHO IS HENRYS FATHER? | Thats another question that wont be answered until further down the line even though the EPs know who he is and have a very specific plan for that character. Could he be someone weve already seen on the show? While they wouldnt they wouldnt confirm or deny the speculation, Horowitz did offer this: If we do it right, its an a-ha moment.
WHAT IS THE EVIL QUEENS BEEF WITH SNOW? | She just owes her money, jokes Kitsis. But in all seriousness, keep an eye out for Episode 18, to air in April, because thats when youll find out why the Evil Queen hates Snow White so much.
So glad it turned out not to be.
