Season 1 of Once Upon A Time was a sure-fire hit and already fans can't wait for then new season in the UK, which aired 30th September 2012. Naturally we always have to wait longer, don't know why Channel 5 didn't just show it in the same way they do The Mentalist, in two half seasons so that we're not behind the US that much. We just end up getting spoilers before, during and after the show is over.
So if you enjoyed Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) the evil Queen/stepmother/Regina (Lana Parrilla) the Mad Hatter, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket (Raphael Sbarge) Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) Red Riding Hood (Meghan Orhy) the Seven Dwarfs; et al, you may be excited to hear of other fairytale characters making it to season 2. Then again some of you may not and may feel not so many should be added. Preferring to stick to the old lot. This includes Captain Hook for Peter Pan lovers, or those obsessed with pirates. Personally I have a penchant for Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) so Hook won't get a look in as far as I'm concerned! Ha. Captain Hook will be played by Colin O'Donoghue. Wonder if this will lead to Peter Pan making an impromptu visit himself, which I doubt and even Tinkerbell, considering the show has many fairies.
There's also Sir Lancelot (Sinqua Walls) heading into Arthurian legend territory but this wasn't a fairytale in the classic sense. Mulan (Jamie Chung) is also high kicking it onto the show, does this mean more dragons will feature too? There's also Ariel, Jack (from the beanstalk, he's meant to jack from many other stories too, a kind of Jack of all trades.) Aladdin and Jafar, so there's another genie since we've already had one in the form of Sidney and the mirror. Prince Phillip (Julian Morris), Sleeping Beauty/Aurora (Sarah Bolger). The Miller's daughter, to name a few.
Oh and Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) VW is actually Herbie The Love Bug, noo...We also meet Milah (Rachel Shelley) the deceased wife of Rumples. hey how come Rumplestiltskin didn't vanish when people found out his name since that's what happened in the original story.
The Mad Hatter is also on the cards but won't feature too much which is a shame, had a bit of a soft spot for him too. ABC were thinking of this character getting his own spin off show, only problem being Sebastian Stan is unavailable for the project since he will be in the Broadway production of Picnic and the next Captain America film, so the network was looking to recast the role with another actor. I think this would be a mistake cos Sebastian really made the character his own and someone new just won't measure up. It just won't be the same Hatter without him. Sebastian is the Mad Hatter. But being a network making serious bucks, they probably won't wait until he is available and pray tell, why didn't they come up with this idea when he was filming season 1?!
Anyway lots to look out for only hope season 2 lives up to the same quality storylines and emotion as season 1, seeing as "magic is coming..." for most it can't get here fast enough.
