OUAT – The Hollywood Reporter interview with Barbara Hershey

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. Regina (Lana Parilla), in “The Stable Boy.” And as Hershey tells it, Cora “has great ambition for her daughter” as every mother does. The only catch: Her desires for Regina aren’t exactly coming from a place that’s pure.

OUAT – Queen of Hearts and Evil Queen’s Faceless Warriors

Leave a reply

We now know that the Queen of Hearts and the Evil Queen didn’t get along too well, but I noticed something interesting about their warriors, many of the covered their faces. Here are some of the Queen of Hearts warriors:

and here are some of the Evil Queen’s warriors from “Hat Trick”:

Where they conjured? Was it a way that the Evil Queen could “Thumb her nose” at the Queen of Hearts? What do you think?

OUAT – We may have seen The Old Hag transformation

Leave a reply

Any fans of the Disney version of Snow White recall her drinking the potion to transform into the “Old Hag”:

and now we see Regina the Evil Queen appear as a not too attractive woman selling children’s toys in “Hat Trick”:

then we see her talk to the Genie, now trapped in the Magic Mirror:

she quickly transforms back to the beautiful Evil Queen:

then back to the not too attractive saleswoman:

OUAT – The Queens Heart Vault

3 Replies

In episode 7 (The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter), we see that the Evil Queen had a vault filled with hearts and some  other things we still need to figure out. When she commissioned the Huntsman to kill Snow White and bring back her heart, she intended to add the heart to her collection in the vault.

When the Huntsman did not bring back Snow White’s heart, the Evil Queen queen took his heart instead and placed it in the heart vault.

In Storybrooke, we see that Regina has brought this heart vault with her and hidden it underground, where she takes Graham’s heart and crushes it.

In this episode (Hat Trick), we see the Evil Queen doing everything she can to get into Wonderland to retrieve something. She asks Jefferson’s help and they both go into Wonderland.

As they get to Wonderand, we see this mausoleum-like structure that clearly belongs to the Queen of Hearts.

As we see the Evil Queen open the doors to the mausoleum, what we see surprises us.

The Heart Vault!

We see the Evil Queen retrieving a box from the vault and quickly escaping.

We realize that before she exits Wonderland, it was her father’s heart that was in the vault.

Who owns the heart vault? Who stole it from who? What kind of rivalry is going on between the Evil Queen and the Queen of Hearts? Why was Henry Sr.’s heart in Wonderland?
