Last weekend at Comic Con 2012 cast members from the new ABC fairytale drama Once Upon a Time, including Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White/Mary Margaret), Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan), Lana Parilla (The Evil Queen/Regina Mills), Josh Dallas (Prince Charming/David), Meghan Ory (Red Riding Hood/Ruby) and Emilie de Ravin (Belle) as well as Executive Producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz participated in a panel to talk about TV’s highest rated new series of the year. They also gave a few sneak peeks into what to expect for season two.

The panel was opened with a teaser trailer that featured all the place cards from each episode of season one. The place cards are the visuals played at the start of each episode that gave an insight into what character was going to be the focus of each episode in addition to some place cards for episodes that will air in season two.

A short amount of time later a hysterical “commercial clip” was presented that featured many of the cast members recording dating videos for the fictional dating site “Singlebrooke”. This video had the audience in stitches watching Mary Margaret, David, Emma, the Sheriff and even Regina and Leroy aka Grumpy (among others) recorded their dating videos, sharing what kind of person each of them is looking for in a relationship. It was truly priceless and written by staff writer Jane Espenson.

Among the items that were shared for what to anticipate this fall included:

•  The chance of “seeing Jack and the Beanstalk”;
•  It will be revealed who Dr. Whale (David Anders) really is in the fairytale world;
•  The audience will meet Emma’s foster parents;
•  Henry’s father will be revealed (and it should be noted that Jennifer knows who Henry’s father is while the rest of the cast does not); and,
•  Now that the residents of Storybrooke know who they really are, their real world names won’t go away, but the producers wouldn’t elaborate more.

Once Upon a Time

During the audience Q&A, the cast members and producers were asked what their favorite fairytale was growing up:

•  Eddy – Peter Pan
•  Adam and Ginnifer – Snow White
•  Jennifer – Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland
•  Josh – Pinocchio
•  Lara – Hansel and Gretel
•  Meghan – Little Mermaid and Peter Pan
•  Emilie – Pippy Longstocking

And, at the very end of the panel a sneak peek clip of an episode from season two was featured, showing someone breaking into Mr. Gold’s pawn shop who turns out to be Captain Hook.

REVISED:
Once Upon a Time will return to ABC for its second season on September 30 at 8 PM.
