Interesting news in the casting department at Once Upon a Time.




Emilie de Ravin (Claire from LOST) has been cast as Belle, as in Beauty and the Beast's Belle. She'll have a connection to Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). No word on whether the titular Beast will appear, but Gaston is slated to pop up as well.


She will first appear in Episode 12, slated to air early next year.

Whoa, if they're doing all the Disney connections, I may just have to drop in. No Ariel yet?

Not so much Disney, as straight up fairy tales. It's really good so far and I'm loving their takes on the classic fairy tales. The Little Mermaid is Hans Christian Andersen and the show seems to favor the stories written/collected by the Grimm Brothers, so who knows if she'll appear.
