Q: Will we see Gideon's time in the Dark Realm?

A: We will definitely see the Dark Realm in the back half of the season, which should provide insight into what's happened to Gideon.

... Q: Is the Captain Swan "epic adventure" still on? When is it this awesome adventure of action, romance, and passion that Adam and Eddy mentioned we would get in 6B?

A: From what I learned while on set, that "epic adventure" appears to still be on, but there's definitely a twist that makes it unlike previously adventures (Snow and Emma in Enchanted Forest, Emma and Regina in Wish Realm) we've seen.

Q: For OUAT, Can we expect any surprising twists or shocking moments by the season finale that no one saw coming?

A: Yeah, actually, and probably before then -- and something we probably should've seen coming. In a way, the show seems to be bringing the storytelling full circle (sorry for being cryptic!).

Q: Is there anything you can tell us about Jaime Murray's character on OUAT? A: Well, we know she's the Black Fairy. I'm really curious about how she became that way. The cast seemed to agree she's probably one of biggest big bads the show has had thus far, if that tells you anything. Also, Kitsis previously said: "Any land where the Black Fairy, the Dark Fairy, the darkest soul we’ve been teasing for six years, runs can’t be fun." Which makes me super nervous!

Q: Are there going to be any good moments between Emma and Regina in the second half of the season?

A: Cannot get more specific on this, but there was a line that was said when I was on set that addresses their friendship that made me chuckle.

Q: Can you tease anything about the OUAT musical episode?

A: There will be seven songs total, which includes a Jennifer Morrison solo!

Q: Is the musical episode for OUAT gonna be important or impact storylines or is it just one of those random eps that'll have no effect on the story/is just for fun?

A: It will be important.

People are speculating that the "full circle storyline" is the CS wedding, and I would add that some threat arrives and ruins the party. Interesting that the musical ep is important, I wouldn't have guessed that.
