Once Upon A Time Season 6 will not air until fall 2016. However, there are still spoilers, even though the fairy tale series won’t return to ABC for quite a while. There are a lot of questions on what will happen when OUAT begins airing new episodes. One of those has to do with Regina (Lana Parrilla) and Zelena (Rebecca Mader). Will the two sisters have issues over Robin Hood’s baby?

Warning: Possible spoilers for Once Upon A Time Season 6 are ahead.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Lana Parrilla will be playing two roles when Once Upon A Time returns with Season 6. Not only will the actress be portraying Regina, but the Evil Queen as well.

As for what fans may expect when Once Upon A Time returns this fall, Parrilla asked some of the same questions viewers have.

“Will Baby Robin be magical? 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,” Lana told Entertainment Weekly regarding Regina in OUAT Season 6.

“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?”

International Business Times reported that last season in Once Upon A Time, Regina and Zelena continued to work on their relationship, even after Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) was killed by Hades (Greg Germann). Regina was devastated by Robin Hood’s death, and that may continue in Season 6. However, how will Regina deal with her loss? Will his death along with knowing that her own sister had a baby with Robin Hood be a double whammy for Regina? Even though Regina is technically good and the Evil Queen is a separate person now, that may not mean that Parrilla’s character will be completely innocent. Could it just all be too much for the Storybrooke resident?

In other Once Upon A Time Season 6 news, expect something a little different when the series returns. According to TV Line, showrunners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz revealed that they are getting rid of the two 11-episode arcs that have been shown since Season 3. Instead, expect to see one 22-episode story.

“It’s not going to be ‘Hyde comes to town, we fight with him for 10 episodes, and then in the winter finale he dies and we move on,'” Kitsis said at the ATX Television Panel. “We are… going back to that Season 1 mentality of small-town stories and smaller arcs.”

Other Once Upon A Time Season 6 spoilers include the return of Lily (Agnes Bruckner) and Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten). Different realms will also be explored and won’t be limited to just fairy tale stories. Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Rumple’s (Robert Carlyle) baby will be dealt with and fans may even see Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) have a fairy tale wedding.

Some fans were upset that certain storylines were completely dropped from Season 5. Expect this to change when the series returns later this year. The showrunners have heard the viewers and gave a response during an interview.

“I’ll say this, we hear the fans,” Eddy Kitsis told Entertainment Weekly regarding Season 6. “We know what stories you feel like we’ve dropped, and we’ve got an episode for you next year.”

What do you think of what was revealed about the next season of OUAT? Once Upon A Time Season 6 will premiere on ABC sometime this fall.
