“It was the wake-up scene where Charming kisses Snow.
you could see her lying there looking very beautiful and very Snow White-esque.
He rides up on the horse.
ABC
We were filming deep in the woods in this beautiful place.
On that day, right when we started shooting that scene, it started to snow.
It was symbolic of the whole scene.
Jack Rowand/ABC
It was a special moment.”
“We really hollowed out a tree.
We wrote the part for her, she said yes, [and] we were shocked.
Jack Rowand/ABC
She has this look on her face.
She goes, ‘Is that the coffin?’
and we said, ‘Yes.’
ABC
Inside, I’m like, ‘Oh God, this is going to be a problem.’
We were like, ‘Yeah, what do you think?’
She just looked at it and goes, ‘F—ing awesome.'”
ABC
“That was my first day as her.
It was my first day in full costume, hair, and makeup.
I remember being very nervous and had my music playing on my iPod and I was really focused.
ABC
I just wanted to do great and I wanted to do great for Regina.
I wanted her to be the character that they’ve created and so much more.
I learned that that’s what she does; she knows how to make an entrance.
ABC
That’s how she intimidates people.
She wasn’t happy.
She never trusted him and she was blinded by her hatred and resentment for Snow.
ABC
He brings that happiness into her life, but ultimately it’s the love that does.”
Edward Kitsis on that big wedding
“It was the wedding,” Kitsis says.
“The introduction of Rumplestiltskin in the cell was a massive moment that established the character from then on.
ABC
That’s a great memory for me.
Where we shot it as well, that wasn’t shot in the studio.
It looks like it when you look at it because that set was recreated for future episodes.
ABC
It was quite an interesting place to go to work.
It certainly helped the atmosphere in that scene.
“We had written the part for Robert Carlyle.
We had been huge fans forever and had been dying to work with him.
I was delirious the whole time, I feel like.
She gets out of the car and slams the door.
There was just something about that scene where it all clicked.
It felt like a part of me.”
Ginnifer Goodwin on the destructive curse
“The pilot was so magical,” she says.
“As a professional, blowing up the nursery when the curse hit was a pretty insane experience.
I’d never been part of something like that before.”
He turns on his music and looks out the window.
That was a nice and fun scene to film.
