Once Upon a Time Photos: Guinevere's Royal Entrance, a Familiar Sheriff 

Once Upon a Time: David Anders Set to Reprise Role as Dr. Whale

Per the synopsis for the second episode of Season 5, “The Price,” Regina — in a bid to protect Emma — steps up in a surprising way that will test her mettle as a force for good. Later, King Arthur and Queen Guinevere (played by Portuguese actress Joana Metrass) throw a royal ball to welcome the Storybrookers to Camelot. When the gala takes a deadly turn, David and Robin must leap into action or lose a crucial asset in the fight to save Emma.

Back in Storybrooke, Hook deploys a tried-and-true technique in hopes of bringing Emma back to the light while the heroes discover that some unexpected baggage has followed them home from Camelot. Also, looks like David has grabbed his sheriff’s star back from poor Sneezy.

Check out the fresh photos below, then share your theories on the “deadly turn,” Hook’s “tried-and-true” technique and the “unexpected baggage.”

I maybe the only one but I liked the premier my only question is why take the baby?

Looking forward to Sunday’s episode as the Dark Swan rises!

I’ve always wondered why your promo pics for Once are always pre-fx, and show the green/blue/etc screens.

It would be a bit too costly to have to vector some 3D rendered designs in those OUAT set photos.

Episodic photos are taken in real time, on set, where in the cases of blue/green screen, backgrounds have not been added in yet.

FX-heavy shows such as ONCE are in post-production until not long before broadcast, so waiting to send out episodic/promotional photos built off of actual finished footage is not practical/possible.
