Regina was between 19-21 in that scene which was retroactively changed to 18. But she never played anything younger. Lana is still about 20 years older than that, so.. Nakis' point still stands. I'm fine with Emma playing "young Gothel" - who knows what that actually means? Only that she was younger than she is now. It could mean she was already an adult but it is ages ago because she herself doesn't age.

On a different note I think it's possible that the curse breaks at the end of the episode and Henry's life is in danger and Regina working to cure him throughtout 720, which is a Henry/Regina centric. Wanted to clarify. I don't have a problem with Gothel playing someone younger and I'm going to defends those that likely were along the thoughts of picturing her childhood and not her young adulthood. That was due to the spoiler scoop that said Mother and Daughter and Eloise saying that she was like Ana (whose 13/14).
