‘Once Upon A Time’ Showrunner Says Fans Can Expect A ‘Surprise’ Soon
After one week off for the Easter break, Once Upon a Time will be getting back into full swing this Sunday, April 12, with all new episodes until the two-part season finale in May. As the season gets ready to put a wrap on all the stories, co-creator Adam Horowitz said fans may be in for something unexpected.
The April 19 episode of Once Upon a Time is titled “Sympathy for the De Vil,” which is a nod to the popular Rolling Stones song, “Sympathy for the Devil.” During an interview with TVLine, both Horowitz and co-creator Edward Kitsis were asked if Cruella De Vil was going to receive a “happy ending.” Kitsis acknowledged that she would, and Horowitz teased that it may not be what fans are expecting.
“There may have been some hints, but our hope is that what it actually turns out to be will be a surprise to everyone. It’s a story that we had a lot of fun concocting, and we think that Victoria [Smurfit] is spectacular in that episode.”
Kitsis revealed that he and Horowitz love the episode’s title.
“The [writers] room knows that we’re very big Rolling Stones fans, so they actually came out with this pitch and it got a big yes from us. It’s a favorite.”
It’s not just the title he that loves. Kitsis also mentioned that “Sympathy for the De Vil” is a great episode, too.
“It’s probably one of my personal — this is just my opinion! — top five favorite episodes of [Once Upon a Time], ever.”
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, the most recent Once Upon a Time had Rumpelstiltskin mentioning that he has something that will make Regina do whatever he says. While talking to TVLine, Kitsis gave a little tease about what Rumpelstiltskin may have.
“It is going to be revealed Sunday night — and like all good villains, they take what you love and use it against you.”
Kitsis had previously stated that there will also be something major revealed about Rumpelstiltskin.
“Rumple has a secret about what’s going on with him personally. In the very next episode, we’re going to get the answer to that.”
With Once Upon a Time returning this Sunday, Horowitz took to Twitter to share with fans a piece of the script.
