 'Once Upon a Time': If you're Cinderella, you'd better watch your step...family

Isn't this enough?

The more returns are announced for the sixth episode of the eighth season of Once Upon a Time, "Watch Your Step", the less Cinderella wants to be a part of it. Previous returns announced included Cinderella's father, young Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother and the Prince. Now, to complete the nightmare, the confirmation that we're telling the not-so-charming story of Cinderella before the ball comes with the announcement of two other guest stars: former series regular Gabrielle Anwar and fan-favorite Adelaide Kane.

Gabrielle Anwar, who portrays the vengeful Lady Tremaine - or should we say Rapunzel? -, was part of the main cast for the first half of the seventh season. Her character died in the midseason premiere, sacrificing her life to save her daughter, Drizella.

Drizella, played by Adelaide Kane, was a recurring character in the seventh season, appearing in almost every episode until the fifteenth one, "Sisterhood", where she left to the Enchanted Forest to escape from the Candy Killer and to protect her sister, Anastasia, from Gothel's clutches.

However, five episodes later, in the twentieth episode, "Is This Henry Mills?", we discover that the curse that brought the fairytale characters to Seattle also brought them back in time. Now, here's the question: how did Drizella and Anastasia adjust to living in the past? We know there's been a six years time jump between the last time we saw them and the present storyline, and Anastasia will be played by an older actress.

The nature of Anwar's and Kane's returns is anything but secret - they'll both appear in the flashback, and Kane will also appear in present day. Cinderella already showed interest in seeing her stepsisters again in the premiere, but will this really be a normal family reunion?

The eighth season of Once Upon a Time airs every Friday on the Once Upon a Time Wiki.
