Q&A SECTION (with TV Scoop Team at E! Online)
Question: Since we’ve been seeing Robin Hood on Once Upon a Time, does this mean that we’ll get to see more of Mulan too? – Lauren
TV Scoop Team: Unfortunately, we will not be seeing our badass Chinese princess anymore this season. However we will be reunited with another fan favorite that we have not seen in a while! Red, aka the most kickass Little Red Riding hood we’ve ever met, will be returning to our magical drama pretty soon. Fingers crossed we’ll get a sweet best friends scene with her and Snow!
Question: I still can’t get over Pretty Little Liars crazy finale! Can you give us a tease for season five? – Michelle
TV Scoop Team: Well as you should know by now, our brooding babe, Caleb, will be back in Rosewood by episode five of next season. But, did you know that Caleb might be bringing a few friends along? Executive Producer, Oliver Goldstick, exclusively revealed to us that fans will definitely find out what happened to Miranda in Ravenswood. “Yes, we’re going to try to be as economic and yet elegant as possible without belaboring because they’re not on screen,” he said. “But I think, you know, residents of Ravenswood may even come back to Rosewood. In addition to Tyler, you might have some familiar faces crashing in. Not permanently, just time to time, because he did have a world there.”
Question: In desperate need of some spoilers on Arrow! Will anyone else find out Oliver’s secret this year? So many people are in the know! – Colin
TV Scoop Team: First, let’s address this one: how has Det. Lance not caught on yet that his hooded friend is Oliver, who has dated both of his daughters? “Episode 19 pretty definitively answers that question as far as Lance is concerned and I think that the answer will surprise you,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim teases, adding that a few more people will learn Oliver’s secret by the end of season two.
Question: Where oh where has my weekly dose of Aaron Tveit gone? The wait for Graceland is killing me. – Vicki
TV Scoop Team: They’re working on it, trust us! Season 2 will introduce viewers to Sid Markham, the head of the LAPD’s Gang Task Force. Sid is strong, dependable and when he first meets Mike, he’s extremely helpful—but like many characters in Graceland, first impressions are not necessarily the correct ones.
That’s it. Enjoy!
