Did you laugh at JMo saying "I'm very close with some of the cast" (not all of the cast) because I did!

What do you think?

Oh hell yes, I did. That was fantastic.  Actually, I sent that to my buddies earlier so we could all cackle over it. 

JMo was so overly diplomatic in those exit interviews, but then she lets that one slip. She is always so careful with words so I think she knew exactly what she was saying. She is clearly very close with some of the cast and anyone with a brain knows who she is close with and who she is NOT close with on set.

That one sentence was definitely a bright spot for me on a very dark day yesterday. I’m hoping it’s a sign of things to come and she’ll be less guarded when referencing you-know-who in the future.

But on TV, the fairy tale still continues!

Besides, when the real world is giving Morrison a hard time, she can always take cover in the fantasy one afforded her by Once Upon a Time. After a turbulent stint in Neverland and a subsequent stretch in NYC without her fairy tale memories, Morrison’s Swan is back in Storybrooke… thanks to one very important (and very handsome) character.

"Hook comes back to find her," Morrison explained of the plot which involved Emma, Henry and Hook traveling back to discover the wicked witch has placed a curse on their sleepy little town.

So what about the chemistry between Hook and Swan? Could they be sailing the high seas together anytime soon?

"Obviously, everyone has their ‘ships’ they’re invested in — I didn’t even know what a ‘ship’ was when I started the show," laughed Morrison. "But it’s very interesting because Neal, Henry’s father, died this season on the show and one of the last things he says to Emma is ‘I really want you to find your Tallahassee… I really want you to find your happiness with someone else.’ And I think her having that blessing from him means a lot to her."

She spills a bit more when we press the question of a love connection. “They definitely have a connection,” she admitted. “I would say, like, without giving anything away, despite it being complicated, I like where things are headed, and I feel like it’s authentic and genuine in terms of what I think Emma would do at this point in her life.”

Plus, it’s Hook, she reveals, who becomes instrumental in helping her against the wicked witch by “encouraging her to be the best version of herself and be true to herself and really follow through.”

While it sounds like the makings of a great romance to us, we’ll have to wait and see. Because if one thing is certain, it’s that Storybrooke is always full of surprises. “There’s definitely a turn at the end where you will have a hint as to what’s coming [next season], but I think it’s a very unexpected turn. I didn’t expect it,” Morrison said.

"Without giving away too much," she enticed, "the last two episodes — episodes 21 and 22 — are a great adventure for Emma. They’re really just a great adventure… definitely my two favorite episodes for Emma, so I’m excited for people to see that journey."
