A more character-driven season is in store for Once Upon a Time fans as the cast and crew of the series revealed juicy relationship developments for Once Upon a Time season five. The famous series coupling of Emma and Hook will be taking a more interesting and even more intense turn this season as the producers discussed during their 2015 San Diego Comic Con panel earlier this July.
Master Herald reported that the series showrunners have made the decision to take Emma Swan (played by Jennifer Morrison) for a darker turn for Once Upon a Time season five. As fans can recall, Morrison's character literally turned dark as she transformed into the Dark Swan during the season finale. As spoilers have revealed, this transformation might have a strain on the Emma-Hook relationship that will transpire during the upcoming season.
Despite Swan's transformation, actor Colin O' Donoghue who plays Hook on the show, says that in Once Upon a Time season five, his character will strive to maintain his relationship with Emma as seen in some teaser photos that were released just recently. In an exclusive with O' Donoghue conducted by Pop Sugar, the actor revealed that for Emma to turn into the Dark Swan meant a total disappointment for Hook since he very nearly spend the entirety of the previous season protecting Emma from the darkness. On the other hand, Morrison seems to be very well enjoying her new evil role as the Dark Swan. She reveals in the interview that since this new character is very different from the previous one, it was more challenging because it involved having to act with a different thought process as well as having to do more research to truly deliver this new character.
Once Upon a Time season 5 would also be quite the nostalgic season for fans as the crew have recently updated their fans on Twitter about filming which has begun on a familiar setting-Granny's Diner. Carter Matt posted the original Twitter post which also included the photo of the set. While the photo my not clearly reveal who the two women in the set were, fans speculate that it could quite possibly be Maleficent and Lily.
The first episode of Once Upon a Time season 5, entitled 'The Dark Swan' is set to premiere this September 27.
