Once Upon a Time at PaleyFest LA 2012: Full Conversation

Cast and creators of ABC's Once Upon a Time gather at PaleyFest LA 2012 to celebrate their show. Topics include: sly references to Lost; Carlyle's inspiration from Italian commedia dell'arte; the Queen's flamboyant wardrobe; the use of a "green stage" for the fairy-tale scenes; Barbara Hershey's role as the Queen's mother; shooting in cold and wet Vancouver with an unflappable crew; ideas for a musical episode; the experience of playing dual roles and contrasting the characters; how the show has changed the cast's view of "hope and faith" in life; and the return of Maleficent.

I love how lana’s wish came true and she did actually turn into ursella

[@andreasandovalgaitan9976]

And Josh also played Jack and the beanstalk

[@TiffanyAllen1784]

@@andreasandovalgaitan9976 No, he played Jack’s friend. Jack in their story was a woman, not James.

Its interesting how Lana seems so reserved in this panel from season 1 comparison to future seasons panels where she is the life of the party. She accumulated such a huge fan base over the years.

[@clairemaddison8386]

Well, here she was only known as the evil queen. Later seasons she had a change of heart and became good. As a matter of fact, regina actually had the most character development, so you can't watch the whole show and NOT like her

[@Sirlie08]

Oooh yes, the Problem of being the evil character😂

[@RhonyLynn]

It’s fun to watch this now that we know the whole run of the storyline. 💕 I love when they’re debating who the stranger in town is, and then later they joke about where Pinocchio is, if he’s a mailbox in Storybrook. 🤣🤣

[@MM-gw4hk]

They were talking about dresses and Jennifer said she only wore a dress is the first episode Ginnifer said “That was sexy” I laughed so hard

[@orlys.3372]

You are growing up with all the fairy tales...then...the most AMAZING TV show, "Once Upon a Time" hits you...and you get answers to all your questions about all the characters. I wish it would continue one day...AWESOME writers and cast!!! Thank you!

[@maddysonsmith9457]

I hope the once upon a time paleyfest 2013 and 2014 are posted I’m actually so happy this was posted what a great thing to watch while in quarantine

I was thinking the same thing. Do you know where one could watch the 2013 Once PaleyFest panel?

[@wandasnosescrunch4422]

"Is Pinocchio in Storybrooke, is he like a mailbox or something" Me: **insert facepalm here** If only you knew that 5 mins ago you were talking about him.

[@kellyj.azania4371]

I began watching OUAT in either late September or October of 2023. I find this show to be very spiritual. Usually when I binge a series, once I get to the end, I've no desire to watch the show again. I already KNOW that I'll rewatch OUAT!

[@DJ-wr1uo]

I love the "be like her dad" part since in the show I feel like Emma is more like her dad then her mom. And the "you wore a dress?" thing too. I think Emma's only wore a dress like twice in the show.

[@alejandracordova3743]

I think it was 6 times, the pilot, the pink one when she went on her first date with hook, the red one she wore with hook when they went back in time, when they had a ball in Camelot, her wedding dress and the pink dress she wore on the very last episode at Regina's coronation lol im surprised I remembered all that but you're right, I love it too

[@brookehendon6938]

[@natalieybarra5207]

i love this show but i will say there is one thing that has always bothered me about it from day 1 and that is that Snow White married "Prince Charming" when in fact Cinderella's prince was "Chraming", Snow white's Prince was just "The Prince". it had to be said.

[@clairemaddison8386]

Notice how when he asks about pinocchio jen coughs like how you cough when you have a secret 😂😂

[@josephvallone7752]

I love that "fuck you Henry" that one of the producers inadvertently says as he talks about how difficult child actors are.

[@emilyholmes9227]

wait where ?

[@karli38]

Where?

[@ThexImperfectionist]

It's right at the beginning where the mod asks about the challenges of showrunning. I took it as referencing having to work around all the extra restrictions in place for child actors (when and how long they can work, when they need to be in school or with a tutor, etc), rather than Jared Gilmore personally being difficult, but I supposed either is possible
