Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz Interview [VIDEO]
#OUAT scoop: Per E&A, Merida is not Rumple's mom. Casting sides were a red herring. Won't be seeing Rumple mom. At least for now. @OnceABC

Merida is played by Amy Manson London. Methinks she will be Rumple's Ma #SDCC #OUAT https://t.co/J7bDwVszxf

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! Dark emma is amazing!!!!! This season needs to start! ASAP
ReplyDeleteDark Swan is so creepy!!
ReplyDeleteJMO seems to have done an excellent job :) I so can't wait! And Amy Mason is the one playing Merida.
ReplyDeleteAwesome !!1
ReplyDeleteMERIDA! The scene is similar to the movie, "I'll be shooting for my own hand", I wonder what the OUAT twist will be. Also Dark Emma, her face has a sort of Evil Faeire type look to it to me (Kinda Spiderwick Chronicles). Jennifer looks excellent though!!!!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyrc7grXJhc
OMG I'M SO HAPPY
ReplyDeletePoor Emma, she is going to be filled with guilt once she gets back to herself.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE TV!! OUAT gave me life today again!
ReplyDeleteDark Emma is scaring the shit outta me. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd Merida!!! That announcement was so random but I'm so excited! I missed them doing a character reveal last year. Glad they came back to it again this year!
Can U see Merida's face? Who is playing her? Or is this a clip like the Elsa reveal at the end of S03?
ReplyDeleteSeems to me like one of the timelines will be present Storybrooke and the other some future Enchanted Forrest/Camelot. Would be interesting, also it's about damn time to switch it up.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the vids over my phone. I'll die!
ReplyDeleteI won't access a pc/laptop for another 2-3 hours
Oh my goodness ...
ReplyDeletei cant see the videos on my laptop or phone
ReplyDeleteI can't get them to work on my laptop either. I may cry.
ReplyDeleteHere's a look at Merida, we actually see her :) The actor, I just searched up is even Scottish!
ReplyDeleteGo to EW. I was able to See both there. They are exceptional!
ReplyDeleteThank U Nirat. Saving me again. ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe looks neat.
This is pure cruelty!
ReplyDeleteThanx
ReplyDeleteMe too! This tv fall Season will surely be amazing!
ReplyDeleteNo problem :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer is going to kill it as Dark Swan this season!
ReplyDeleteYES
ReplyDeleteI really hope Merida isn't Rumple's Mom. I mean it would be quite the stretch with her being brave and everything. Maybe sister or twin sister or something, not Mom. She is way to young either way. But again time is a relative term in OUAT.
ReplyDeleteGo to EW! That is were the videos were originally posted ;) i watched them there
ReplyDeleteShe will most definitely turn out to be Rumple's Mom.Even you knew it while typing this comment.LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt won't load at EW over my phone either. I'll have to wait till I reach my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same! I was thinking that it would be cool if Merida was the one to free Emma from the dungeons and some-how help her
ReplyDeleteMerida looks amazing! I just hope she's not Rumple's mom.
ReplyDeleteHere is the longer Version of the trailer:
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/jpt5YBLntdE
OMFG Emma is so scary
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2xE3hAgHAU
ReplyDeleteI mean yes the chances are high how couldn't curly hair be his mom but I mean come on. ~_~
ReplyDeleteI need her not to be and Adam needs to change his mind at this moment as he feels how I'm disliking this.
Refresh the page couple of times. It worked for me
ReplyDeleteI miss The Snow Queen, I love Elizabeth Mitchell :)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Brave is one of the worst Disney--let alone Pixar--movies, however, I also hated Frozen and I ended up liking the characters in Once to a point that, against my better judgement, I almost (almost) wanted to watch Frozen again. Here's hoping Once redeems something from Brave in the same way they did with Frozen.
ReplyDeleteMe too, but IMO the frozen arc was weak
ReplyDeleteIKR! this is going to be an awesome season!
ReplyDeleteJennifer Morrison is giving the performance of a lifetime as Dark Swan and that was only a sneak peek, this is going to be epic. Also, Merida!! Brave is one of my favorite Disney movies so this is such a nice surprise. Loved that little recreation of that iconic scene from the movie. Can't wait to see Adam and Eddy's take on the character! Awesome casting choice as well.
ReplyDeleteWeird. I'm able to view them both on my laptop.
ReplyDeleteOMG I can already tell that Jennifer will kill it as Dark Swan, I didn´t recognize Emma there for a second, it was like a completely different person. Can´t frea*ing wait for S5!!!!
ReplyDeletei saw them on ew, just couldnt see them here
ReplyDeleteI think Jen's performance is great, but the makeup on the Dark Swan is distractingly awful. Why does taking on the ultimate Darkness give Emma bad 90s body glitter and frosted eyebrows? It's not enough of a transformation to make her look otherwordly, like Rumple, it just looks like bad makeup.
ReplyDeleteCool, I'm going to upload them to our video system as a few people are having trouble viewing them.
ReplyDeleteMe too
ReplyDeleteI miss Elsa & Anna.Sigh!
ReplyDeleteMe too :(
ReplyDeleteJust watched the clips! wOw just wOw.
ReplyDelete-Dark Swan clip: Amazing performance. U could see the devastation on her face after killing, that addiction to do dark stuff and how grossed out she was. Nice one. Think this isn't part of the premier but maybe that is just wishful thinking.
-Merida clip: On spot casting. She is so joyful and positive. I hope for a back story with Snow and not with Rumple. (Let me be delusional)
love merida!!! so excited for dark swan.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DARK EMMA!!!! MERIDA!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI need to see the full panel, when will it on the internet???
ReplyDeleteIt looks AWESOME! I don't like the whole no eyebrows, but still looks Awesome. As for Merida i didn't even know that they would introduce her.
ReplyDeleteBTW I saw a bunch of tweets mentioning Ruby? Was it confirmed she is back?
ReplyDeleteAbout damn time they went BACK into the Enchanted Forest...And by the looks of it that's where Emma was transported and I know Hook, Henry and Regina will all unite and be hell-bent on 'rescuing' her whatever the cost, so will Snow...SQUEAL.
ReplyDeleteHey, maybe Merida and Snow will be archery buddies!
ReplyDeleteThe actress they got to play her as a bit of an Emma Watson vibe, no?
Am I the only one that expected more? IMHO JMO is not as convincing as the Dark Swan as I hoped she would be...
ReplyDeleteShe reminds me so much of AnnaSophia Robb
ReplyDeleteJennifer Morrison is clearly having way too much fun playing the Dark Swan!! LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool...Talking about coincidences, I was watching Brave on the TV for the first time when I saw this. I'm actually watching it right now!
ReplyDeleteDark Swan is amazing and very creepy. Emma looks more frightening than Rumplestinskin. I think season 5 is going to be great.
Omg yes!! Can`t wait! .Yeiii. Mérida OMG and Emma. September!!!!
ReplyDeleteHavent seen Brave but love that hair
ReplyDeleteEmma gurl I love you. Bring out that villain in you
Daisy!! I've loved Amy Manson since her Being Human days, really looking forward to seeing her in this even though I've never seen Brave :)
ReplyDeleteRight with you there, I'm really not sure about the look at all atm. I'm hoping that it grows on me once the show is back...
ReplyDeleteShould I be a jackA about this ^^

ICYMI
ReplyDeletehttps://mobile.twitter.com/NatalieAbrams/status/619981101210075136
I'm so glad i was wrong about this.She's way too young to be his mom.Enjoy this one :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad. We'll enjoy this together ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe one with Ariel stealing fork from Leroy was good.
ReplyDelete" frozen arc was weak" only for you
ReplyDeleteMaybe she taught Snow how to be a bandit?
ReplyDeleteYou don't put out such casting sides for no reason, I'm going with the theory that Merida is Rumples mom and this is damage control
ReplyDeleteFun! Fun! Fun! JM's acting in that first clip was very impressive! Really nicely shot too!
ReplyDeleteAnd Merida is AWESOME. Could easily become a favorite character. I never saw Brave, because I don't really care for that style of animation, but much like FROZEN, I think OUAT will show me versions that I do visually like! :)
Wow Dark Emma is creepy and Merida looks like a fun and awesome character
ReplyDeleteSo I don't know what they said about "Brave" and if they are creating their own Scottish reality or if Merida and clan with be apart of Camelot, but I am going to put a crazy theory out just for the heck of it. I know a lot of people are thinking that Merida might be the new savior, but what if she's also Zelena and Robin's child from the future??? The actress' looks and the fact that they choose such a Robin Hood-esque character right after the pregnancy reveal just seems a little too coincidental, even though I am probably wrong! XD
ReplyDeleteI like how you think.
ReplyDeletedid nobody film the once panel ive been checking youtube since ten and still no panel video except one really low quality one, its so odd lol
ReplyDeleteI must be in the minority. I'm not liking evil Emma. It was hard to see such a strong "Hero" character cruelty crush someone's heart. It's almost disturbing. I hope it's easier in the context of the show.
ReplyDeleteJennifer is doing a great job. I just don't love this storyline.
Well yeah, maybe, but the point i'm making is that i didn't know anything was coming from the Brave front. There was no news (that i have seen).
ReplyDeleteOMG! Super! Dark Swan is epic, amazing AWESOME, LEGENDERY! I wanted to see my babe's mom thou. :( I hope she comes in 5b at least. Why would A&E go back on their word???
ReplyDeleteepic!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't know what the problem is but her acting is not convincing at all to me...
ReplyDeleteIs the guy who play Will Scarlet still series regular? Since he wasn't at the CC
ReplyDeletelove Merida! Almost the same as the original <3
ReplyDeleteDo you think Rumple will be in coma for all the season? If so I don't see the point of having him. I'm so sad my babe might won't wake up and I am sad not to be able to meet her mom, hope she comes in 5b or A&E lied :(
ReplyDeleteso perfect go Snow :D I usually say she's avaraged but now Jennifer Goddwin, NAILED it
ReplyDeleteI don't think it'll be for the whole season, possibly the first few episodes or just the first episode :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what happened with Rumple's mother, maybe she'll come in Season 5B ?
Ok thanks. Please follow me on socials. I need to write you something later. You rock btw. So nice to me all the time <3 I'm landworld on tumblr & @gaiamakesitshin twitter.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why Emma is in a jail cell and the dagger was left behind? Rumple didn't. This makes no sense. Can someone explain please?
ReplyDeleteYes,he is still a regular. Not everyone from the cast goes to CC.
ReplyDeleteThx for posting the interview, robert. Did you receive it from me or where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I'm already miss our Emma. I hope she'll come back soon.
ReplyDeletePREMIERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP, EMMA LOOKS HORRIFYING AND SHE SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does her heart crushing look more crystallized and not ashy? Also why is she in the Enchanted Forest and not Storybrooke? THAT makes no sense at ALL. Well Merida's a freaking beautiful woman LOL, i didn't watch "Brave" but i'm still excited for her live-action debut on OUAT.
ReplyDeleteI think it's like the Hook reveal and yeah the Elsa reveal, like a promo and not actual footage. If only Emma killing that poor guard was fake as well because Emma killing should NEVER be a reality.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! So not a fake accent? I was hoping when i found out that her actress would be a real Scottish actress, feels more real that way, but ,maybe it's just me? She's beautiful by the way LOL.
ReplyDeleteI DID see devastation but that only for a MILLISECOND but after all i saw was pure joy, so i don't know where you saw disgust and addiction.
ReplyDeleteShe DOES have eyebrows LOL, they're just CRAZY white.
ReplyDeleteMY question is why is she in the Enchanted Forest at ALL, and it looks like she's been there a while, it's confusing because they stopped Isaac.
ReplyDeleteWe all see different things. So watch the clip a couple of time more, towards the end U can see all changing.
ReplyDeleteReally. WOW i mean i really thought she didn't WOW.
ReplyDeleteI pmed you on tumbr. Please check & answer back.
ReplyDeleteHe was demoted to Guest star this season.
ReplyDeleteI think he's not a regular anymore according to a recent interview with Adam & Eddy Pkus the promotion of Robin & Zelena characters to regulars
ReplyDeleteNo,he's not.
ReplyDeleteAdam & Eddy said he's not in a real recent interview
ReplyDeleteYep.This is old news.
ReplyDeleteYeah,it was suprise just like Elsa & Anna from Frozen being introduced this time last year.Theyve said they wanted to do Brave for a while though
ReplyDeleteSo now I get to add Brave to the things I can watch whilst waiting to finally see season 4... and take bets on whether Merida is actually Rumplestiltkin's secret lovechild ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen did that change? Did they give a reason why?
ReplyDeleteI guess i missed that interview.
ReplyDeleteWell, look they can say that they want to do a lot of things, but very few actually are able to. So this was a surprise. Interesting to see their spin to it.
ReplyDeleteIt was about a month ago.They didn't give any specific reason as far as i know but we all can guess it.They had no idea what to do with the character so they took the easy way out.
ReplyDeleteSo true,thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo problem.
ReplyDeleteNo he's not. :( TvLine confirmed he isn't, but he will still appear as a guest-star.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Dark Emma will free Zelena.
ReplyDeleteCould be, but it seems like Emma was teleported to the enchanted forest and/or Camelot, -and we know that Camelot, or characters from there, should also play a role....
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering, if I would be right about Merida, if this is not also why GF's hair is died silver? -If Emma time travels to some future and/or if there will be flash forwards like with LOST???? I always thought maybe Camelot would be different somehow in that some see it or refer to it as "Paradise" and thus Arthurian Legends have some allegorical significance. Something pertaining to the future or a possible future could be a way to do that, especially if it/time can be undone and/or re-written. (Which isn't really a stretch IMO because both of what the end of season 3 and season 4 began to open up to and with what fans learned from OUATiW)
I missed it too, but I thought maybe as much when they promoted the other two. I don't know if they just changed their minds about what direction to go in with him or what, but I was disappointed at how they underscored him last season, but that was really my only complaint.
ReplyDeleteI still hope they do something with him and perhaps some of the wonderland cast eventually. Wonderland had some neat contradictory mythos to ONCE (the spell book, NYXE and the Well of Wonders) that I would love to see it get crossed over. Let alone I still think it would be a treat to see Rumple & Regina with Jafar & Anna (and a secretly hope for the Japperwacky to come to storybrook and get loose!). I don't know, maybe if we get a season six, the characters can go to Wonderland--might not be a bad place to end it for Regina and Hook...
I thought they had plans for him next season,oh well,maybe next year. If there is a 6th season. I would love to see Wonderland in Ounce,and definitely Japperwacky. We need Japperwacky!
ReplyDeleteOh,something to think about! I never saw Brave and i'm not at all familiar with Merida,but yeah,red hair,archery skills,she just could be their daughter! Nice going!!!
ReplyDeleteIt might be wishful thinking as usual, but if H & K were ever thinking about a future reality or flash forwards, now might not be a bad time to do it, since they have had quite a nice build up to it, from Zelena casting a spell from the past that allowed Elsa to travel forward in time and Zelena a new way to stay alive by pretending to be someone else brought forward (plan b, which I am not sure if we knew what whole plan actually was??), and then we have the "false memories/new reality" aspect of Emma and Henry for a time via new curse, and then the Author with a way to create a secondary alternate/false reality with a whole false history, it seems plausible to somehow jump ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt might also be why Goodwin is sporting that silver fox hair too!
lol watch the video above. Yes it shows her face.
ReplyDeleteI posted the comment before the vid was posted.
ReplyDeleteI read Adam and Eddy said something about a split personality and that the dark one will manifest differently in Emma than in Rumple. I'm picturing something like how Rumple switched between himself and Neal after he absorbed Neal into his body. Like two entities in the same body but not merged, switching back and forth from Emma to the dark one. I'm hoping that good Emma stays good and the one doing the heart crushing is solely the dark one.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they bring him to show is still a mystery for me. If they did it for Bell and "boyfriend thing", they could've use any random character from Storybrook
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteLose the eyebrows guys...they don't work. Neither do the shoulder pads.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to be sleeker with enough of the old Emma around the edges that you find yourself questioning whether or not she's really turned...until it's too late.
