ONCE UPON A TIME: Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Jennifer Morrison Preview Charming Family Drama in ‘Lost Girl’

As the Charming family searches for Henry in Neverland on ONCE UPON A TIME, their already-shaky emotional ground takes its toll  in this Sunday’s brand new episode, “Lost Girl.”

“I think Neverland has posed a lot of interesting opportunities for Emma to be vulnerable,” Jennifer Morrison (Emma) noted to reporters on set earlier this week. “You know, I think [ONCE UPON A TIME co-creators] Eddy [Kitsis] and Adam [Horowitz] have talked a lot about Neverland making everyone confront their past, and you know I’ve sort of approached it as Neverland has made Emma about ten years old, in terms of her emotional capacity. It sort of takes you back to your…most prevalent time of damage in your life, and you kind of go back to that place and operate from that emotional level. So that’s what I’ve sort of done with Emma for the season so far, which is giving the opportunity to see so much more of her. She’s been so closed off and hardened to life because of what she’d been through that there was only so far certain emotions could be pushed with her, and now not only has she been through a tremendous amount, and she thinks she’s lost Neal, and all she’s concerned about is trying to save Henry’s life, and her whole family’s being threatened on this island — and, and, and, and, and all of these things [just keep coming]. She’s also in a land where she can’t really have her guard up, so she’s highly emotional and highly volatile. Everything’s heightened for her.”
