Once Upon A Fan

Will we learn how Emma (Jennifer Morrison) got the last name Swan?

Edward Kitsis: Some day. Will we find out about Emma's tattoo?

Adam Horowitz: I would say probably not.  

Kitsis: It's the same flower that's on her father's crest, but how she got it and why she chose it is probably not something we'll get to this year.

Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) mentioned a pair of slippers to Jefferson (Sebastian Stan). Could those be the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz?

Horowitz: They could indeed. 

We saw the Queen of Hearts last season, but we didn't actually see her face. Could she be someone we've met previously?

Kitsis: Yes. You'll find that out in the episode called "Queen of Hearts," which is Episode 9. 

Will Rumple's son Bae return this season?

Horowitz: Yes.

Did you know there's a huge fandom 'shipping Emma and Regina (Lana Parrilla) called the Swan Queen?

Kitsis: It's funny, there are so many people 'shipping so many people on this show, I can't keep them straight. But yes, we are aware of that.

Horowitz: We love that our fans 'ship all our characters and we think it's super-cool and we hope they like what we wind up doing with all of them.
