Leave a reply

When the news that Beaches star Barbara Hershey was cast as Cora, the Evil Queen’s mother, Twitter went chaotic. Beaches fans were happy to see Barbara Hershey again and the #EvilRegals were happy to finally get more back story on the Evil Queen/Regina. So this was a win-win situation for everybody! 🙂

So in anticipation of this week’s episode, The Hollywood Reporter was able to sit down with Barbara Hershey for some questions and much anticipated answers about how Regina became evil.

‘Once Upon a Time’: Barbara Hershey Teases the Evil Mother’s ‘Warped’ Ways (Q&A)

The Evil Queen wasn’t always the scheming, malicious person Once Upon a Time followers have known her to be. As it’s revealed in Sunday’s episode, the Evil Queen’s mother is far worse.

Oscar nominee Barbara Hershey stops by fairy tale land on the ABC drama as Cora, the mother of the Evil Queen, a.k.a.

OUAT – More Fairy Tale Land Hints in Jefferson’s house in Storybrooke

From the wilderness wallpaper at Granny’s Diner, Mushrooms in Archie’s office, and much more there are many hints to remind you where the cursed inhabitants came from, but we see more in the “HAt Trick” episode:

See the branches arranged along the left wall?

See the tree filled wallpaper?

See the vine-like design in this wallpaper?

See the silver tree like rack in the back corner next to the guitar?

See the grass-like shag carpet? See the flower printed drapes? Almost the entire decor has clue after clue of Fairy Tale Land. With all the reminders and his heart breaking for his child, no wonder the Hatter went mad trying to get back.
