Hello! And I again invite you to plunge into the fairy tale. Now I will tell you about the third season of the wonderful series and a little about the actors who performed the main roles. Let’s start!

The Plot of Season 3

Part 1

The Main event of the first half of the third season is saving Henry. The heroes travel to a country where boys don’t grow up. But Neverland is a much darker place than we remember those fairy tales about a flying boy in a country where no one ever grows up. To accomplish the mission, the heroes have to face an enemy more powerful than the Dark Magician. What does Peter Pan want with Henry? Can our heroes and saviors put aside their differences and work together? Can Aurora, Mulan and Prince Phillip to provide the necessary medical care Neal, so he can reunite with his family? Will Rumpelstilzchen forgive his father? There will be new characters, we also learn a lot about already known characters. The Neverland series will be a feverish dream that just won’t break.

Part 2

After the final events of the first half of the season was the whole year, the curse of Peter Pan is still in force. Storybrooke doesn’t exist anymore, but is it really? Somehow our heroes have found a way back into the City. Meanwhile, Emma and Henry are living happily in new York with memories of a false past, with no memory of past events. Suddenly on the threshold of their house appears Hook. He states that the Enchanted forest is in danger. Storybrooke again needs the Savior, but it all depends on Killian. He needs to help her regain memories. Pirate is doing everything to successfully complete its important mission. Meanwhile in the Enchanted forest, we learn what happened to the characters after the curse was activated. Snow White realized his dream of becoming a mother again — she’s pregnant. But evil does not sleep. The Kingdom is threatened by the Wicked Witch of the West, who wants revenge on Regina. Although this time will be different, because the impending disaster is more terrible than all the others. A new enemy is stronger and more powerful still, and deceit knows no limit.

Some facts:

  • The Wicked Witch of the West (Zelina, Cora’s eldest daughter, Regina’s half-sister) is a role written specifically for the English actress Rebecca Lee Mayder. The fact that Rebecca starred in the series “Lost”, which was written by Adam Horowitz, one of the two authors of “Once Upon a Yime”.
  • Every major character wore a leather jacket in Storybrooke.
  • The creators took a bold step, making Peter a negative hero. Later, fans found out: this is not an invention of the writers. The author of stories about Peter Pan originally wrote a story about a harmful and evil boy, then changed his mind, creating the image of an evil captain. Literary critics confirm the information.
  • The actress who played the charming little mermaid Ariel, in real life, is afraid of water and does not know how to swim at all.
  • Two and a half hours must be spent to fully prepare the image of Rumpelstiltskin. It took about an hour to shoot one scene with a character.

Quotes:

  • “Things you may not remember for years can still make you cry.”
  • “Sometimes the most interesting book is hidden in a dusty cover. Sometimes the best cup is the one that is pinned.”
  • “Love is like an elegant flame. If it goes out, it goes out forever.”
  • “It’s much easier to make people hate something than to make them believe in something.”
  • “Whatever is going on in our soul, we must control ourselves.”

And now I want to tell you about the actors who starred in the main roles. Believe me, there are many other interesting movies where you can meet them.

  1. Jennifer Marie Morrisonthe performer of the role of Emma. Do you know her face? Of course! She played the role of Dr. Allison Cameron in “Doctor House”. The actress is also known for such films as “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Star Trek”, “Prodigal”, “Assassination Nation”.
