Question: Please, I don’t ask much. Just give us a scoop about Emma and the Stranger on Once Upon a Time. One episode and I ship them already! —Angel
Ausiello: In the next few episodes, the Mysterious Stranger With the Typewriter’s agenda “becomes clearer,” teases co-creator Adam Horowitz, “as we realize he has designs on Emma — both romantically and for another reason related to the curse and more specifically to Henry’s story book.”

Question: Any scoop on David and Mary Margaret on Once Upon A Time? —Louise
Ausiello: They won’t waste any time taking that kiss they shared in Sunday’s episode to the next level. Horowitz confirms that they’ll soon “begin an affair that they know is wrong but is also, somehow, right,” adding that, “Regina quickly makes sure that the cost of this true love trying to work itself out is dire.”

Thought this was pretty cool, its from January 26th, so not that spoiler-y anymore - but wooo for video!

Question: What’s next with regards to Regina and Mr. Gold’s battle on Once Upon a Time? —Joy
Ausiello: “Certain things happen toward the last five or six episodes that shake our relationship,” teases Robert Carlyle. “You realize that maybe Rumplestiltskin [didn't create the curse] for her at all; maybe he was doing it for himself. Maybe the curse was created for him.”

I was hoping for this. Very cool.
It also makes me wonder if the reason he wanted Cinderella's baby was he needed a child for his plans with curse and then took advantage of the opportunity when Snow white showed up at his cell.

Hmmmm......

Last five or six episodes of this season or last 5 or 6 episodes of the whole show? How soon can we expect these episodes?

Usually in these spoilers, they are referring to the current season. If it were of the show, it would of said "of the series" or something similar.

FINALLY, some answers!

Question: Probably a stupid question, but in the Once Upon a Time finale, did Rumple restore the magic — even if it meant empowering Regina — because he was so ticked about Belle being hidden away so long? —Joshua
Ausiello: You are correct — that was a stupid question. “I thought that was explicit in the episode,” consulting producer Jane Espenson responds with a laugh. “You could make a case that [bringing magic back to Storybrooke] was always part of his plan, but yeah, it was definitely a counter move based on his anger at Belle being locked away. That doesn’t mean that that’s his ultimate end; he may have had a goal beyond that.”

[Pandora's Imp]

Wait what?

I thought it was part of his plan to find Bae.

[MadEyedWookiee]

Yeah, that's what I thought too...Maybe he wasn't planning on restoring magic to SB at that point, but learning that Regina had locked Belle away made him do it?
