We just filmed a scene not long ago with Regina dealing with the loss of Robin and Hades. Her private moments happen behind closed doors. She did with Emma in last season’s finale, but you don’t really see her opening up to everyone about that. She’s not one to share her vulnerabilities so openly. LP: I think we’re going to see Regina dealing with that very quietly and privately. Will there be some repercussions stemming from his death that ripple over into Season 6? The creators like to say she’s having some PTSD symptoms.ĭ23: Robin Hood’s death was such a big loss for Regina-and ultimately, fans-last season. Emma Swan is going through some changes as well. Also, Archie Hopper has a nice arc this season, so Raphael Sbarge is coming back and there’s something really fun with him and the Evil Queen. Hyde story continues in the first half of the season, and we’ll have Captain Nemo since we’ll start telling the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea story, which is really cool. One of the stories is based on the characters from Aladdin, so we have Jafar, Aladdin, and Jasmine. LP: We have the Land of Untold Stories, so we have a lot of new inhabitants who are coming to Storybrooke. She’s really creating turmoil in everyone’s lives, which is fun for me to play.ĭ23: What details-spoiler-free, of course-can you reveal at this point? I can say that the Evil Queen is the real opposition for the heroes this season, and she has her hands in everything right now.
There’s a lot happening with the Evil Queen and Regina-and their face-off-which is fun to do. I’m just really confident!”ĭ23: Judging by the awesome trailer for Season 6 that debuted at San Diego Comic-Con in July, you can’t help but come away with the feeling that this is going to be a big season for the Evil Queen.
I would say to Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis all the time, “We’re going to make it to six seasons,” and they were like, “Come on, don’t jinx it!” I said, “I’m not jinxing it. I looked at Ginny and said, “I think we’re going to be up here in Vancouver for awhile,” and she said, “Let’s hope so,” because we loved the show and wanted it to be successful. Ginny Goodwin and I had a going-away party before we left to go to the set in Vancouver, and I just remember my goodbyes being longer and more emotional than other goodbyes. I think it was when I was saying goodbyes to family and friends in L.A. I don’t know how far we’re going to go beyond this, but I had a good feeling early on about six. Lana Parrilla (LP): I have to say, I had a really good feeling at the start that we were going to go six seasons. When you first started, was it the goal of the cast and crew to mainly concentrate on the work of the first season in hopes that the show would find an audience, or did you have your sights set on Season 2, 3 and so on? She recently took time out of her busy schedule to talk with D23 and give the legions of Once Upon a Time fans an idea of what to expect when Season 6 premieres on September 25.ĭ23: Congratulations on Season 6.
#Evil queen once upon a time series
The Queen … is back”), Parrilla is currently in production on the series in Vancouver, Canada. Needless to say, series star Lana Parrilla, who, with delectable deviousness, has brought her evil highness to life since the fantasy romance drama kicked off in 2011, couldn’t be more delighted.Įnergized by her foreboding proclamation, the Dragon’s heart in hand, during the thrilling conclusion of Season 5 (“This is a war, and it’s just begun. Failing to kill Snow, and angry at her marriage to Prince Charming, she enacts a curse that traps all residents of Fairy Tale Land in modern day Storybrooke, Maine, and leaves her indebted to Rumplestiltskin.Move over, Regina Mills: The Evil Queen has separated from her Storybrooke, Maine, alter-ego and is returning with a vengeance in the sixth season of ABC’s hit series Once Upon a Time. When a young Snow White inadvertently puts an end to that relationship, the (soon to be) Evil Queen marries Snow's father and sets out to exact her revenge. The Evil Queen, whose real name in Fairy Tale Land is also Regina, was raised on a farm by her father and stern and magical mother, and was once a kind and gentle girl who fell in love with the stable boy. Outside of a romantic (or at least physical) relationship with Sheriff Graham, little has been revealed of her personal life beyond her desire to control most everyone and destroy Mary Margaret and Emma Swan. She is fully aware of the curse, her Fairy Tale persona, and her role in the curse. Regina Mills is the mayor of Storybrooke and has an adopted son, Henry.
