Season 6 of "Once Upon a Time" threw fans for a loop when the story ended with Henry opening the door to find his daughter with the book in her hand. In Season 1, Henry took the book to find his mother Emma and bring her to Storybrooke so she could become the hero and end the curse.
Now the story begins again with some beloved favorites returning while many of the original cast departed. The reboot promises some interesting storylines as Henry's daughter tries to awaken Henry to the fact that there is a new curse, and he has forgotten part of his life, mainly that he has a daughter, and he was married to his daughter's mother.
Who left and who returned
Many of the original cast members departed after the end of Season 6. Some favorites, like the Wicked Witch, played by Rebecca Mader and Belle played by Emilie De Raven, also departed. Of the original cast members, Emma Swann (Jennifer Morrison), Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and the original Henry (Jared Gilmore) are gone now. For now, many of the supporting characters from the cast are also gone. Fan favorites Regina (Lana Parillo), Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle), and Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) returned as new characters as Regina is now Ronnie a bar owner, Rumplestiltskin is a police detective, and Captain Hook is a police officer.
New characters also debuted, and the story will be following a new Cinderella Story with a new Cinderella played by Dania Ramirez. Rounding out the cast will be Gabrielle Anwar as Lady Tremaine, Cinderella's wicked stepmother, Adelaide Kane as Drizella, the wicked stepsister, Rose Reynolds as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and Mekia Cox as Princess Tiana.
Lucy, Henry's daughter, is portrayed by Alison Fernandez and Andrew J. West plays the new adult Henry. Although there were many changes to the cast, one of the changes fans may see in the reboot that Captain Hook/Killian gets a new love interest.
