I'll post some trivia about my season:


 * Alison Fernandez was originally a series regular, before being demoted to special guest star
 * Mary Margaret Blanchard, David Nolan and Lily Page were going to die in, but it was scrapped because, for Snowing, showrunner Matheus Ribeiro didn't wanted to end that epic love story, while for Lily it was because there wouldn't have room to have Maleficent looking for revenge on her daughter's death this year
 * Before Alexandra Breckenridge was cast as, Olivia Wilde and Sarah Michelle Gellar were considered to the role, and Wilde was almost cast. Wilde was later cast as Morgana Le Fay
 * Before it was revealed that Lily's father is Zorro, the season premiere would focus on his identity, and on explaining Briar Rose and Maleficent's feud
 * Robert Carlyle, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Agnes Bruckner, Sarah Bolger, Julian Morris and Sebastian Roché were going to return for this episode, while Melinda Clarke would play Briar Rose
 * Bauer van Straten and Bruckner actually appeared in the season premiere, while Clarke played  in the same episode
 * Lily's father's identity was going to be King Stefan
