'Once Upon a Time' Season 6: How Will Regina Deal With Numerous Complications? [VIDEO]
As Lana Parrilla prepares for a big season of ABC's Once Upon a Time, she has a number of questions in regard to her character, Regina.
In addition to Regina's old self, the Evil Queen, coming into existence in the present day, the character will be dealing with the reality of the late Robin's (Sean Maguire) baby. This, plus Regina's reconciling with Zelena, who happens to be the mother of Robin's child, will complicate matters.
"Will Baby Robin be magical?" she pondered in a new Entertainment Weekly report. "Will Zelena and Regina continue to have a healthy relationship now that they've reconciled? Or will Regina end up hating Zelena for being the mother to Robin's baby? I'm curious to see what's going to end up happening in that regard. Will she end up growing resentful that she can't have children, but yet her sister has her boyfriend's baby? I feel like that's a story to be told. Are they going to stand side-by-side in a sisterhood or is Regina going to grow resentful overtime?"
The actress previously spoke about what it will be like to play both Regina and The Evil Queen simultaneously, telling Entertainment Weekly that the process is "still being discovered by all of us."
Parrilla noted that it's not exactly a split personality situation; rather, it is a case of "two separate Reginas, The Evil Queen and the hero Regina. So it's gonna be really fun to play both sides in a different way than I have in the previous five seasons 'cause I've always played two sides. She's always been both, but she's never been split."
Once Upon a Time season 6 will premiere this fall in the regular Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT timeslot on ABC.
