This just made my day! Welcome back Bex!
Finally, the moment you were hoping would come (as a certain song goes) — Rebecca Mader is returning to ABC’s Once Upon a Time.
TVLine has learned exclusively that the onetime series regular is set to reprise her role as Regina’s sister Zelena aka the Wicked Witch in multiple Season 7 episodes. No further details were available at this time.
“I am beyond thrilled to be returning to make magic with my beloved Once Upon a Time family,” Mader, who made her debut on the fantasy series midway through Season 3, tells TVLine. “I’m excited for this next chapter.”
Busting out the Oz empress’ motto-turned-musical episode solo title, she adds/reminds: “Wicked always wins!”
Along with Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Jared Gilmore and Emilie de Ravin, Mader was among the half-dozen actors not returning for the Season 7 “reset” as series regulars, while Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle and Colin O’Donoghue stayed on as the Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin and Captain Hook. (As previously reported, Gilmore, Morrison and de Ravin will make one-off encores in Episodes 1, 2 and 4 of the coming season, which premieres Friday, Oct. 6 at 8/7c.)
New to the mix for the Season 7, meanwhile, are Andrew J. West and Alison Fernandez (playing grown Henry and his daughter Lucy), Gabrielle Anwar (as Lady Tremaine), Dania Ramirez (Cinderella) and Mekia Cox (Tiana), while Adelaide Kane and Rose Reynolds Reynolds will recur as Drizella and Alice.

HEY FLORIDA.
The governor just stated if you can’t get out of any mandatory evacuation, whether for fuel or any reason at all, call 1-800-955-5504, right now! The’ll help if you don’t have money, if you have pets, etc. They want you to call NOW because there is time to help you. (I guess signal boosting this is an upside to being subjected to the weather channel while living utterly landlocked.)
Reblog the Captain Swan engagement ring for good luck! How do you know it’s for them? Because it is now shhhh
Privately owned hotels, motels, etc., can still legally turn you away if you have pets with you. It just happened to Hurricane Harvey evacuees. Please do not go to a hotel trying to demand that they take your pets - You can get turned away, (the police will assist if needed) and you may end up back on the road in the storm. Which is the most dangerous place to be.
There has been a post going around saying that the PETS act means that hotels have to accept your pets… This is FALSE! The PETS act allows FEMA to spend government funds on creating pet friendly evacuation and disaster response plans, to fund pet friendly shelters, to fund veterinary services, and to pay pet fees to hotels that accept pets for displaced families who receive vouchers after a disaster. It has no bearing on private businesses, private businesses are not required to change or amend their pet policies.
Some hotels do, however, voluntarily change their policies during a storm. This will be dependent on each individual hotel owner, (they are usually franchises). So the best thing you can do is call the individual hotel before you go.
To evacuate, you will need to identify pet friendly hotels, shelters, etc.
To find pet friendly hotels, you can use BringFido.com or Booking.com (on Booking, select “Pet Friendly” in the filters). The American Kennel Club has a list of Pet-Friendly shelters for you, your family, and your furry friends here. And finally, for your general preparedness information, FEMA has a “Helping Pets” page for storm preparedness and facts you need to know here.
Please be safe and have a backup plan in place. I hope that cuddling your furry loved ones brings you much comfort.
Please, please pray for the Caribbean.
Hurricane Irma is currently at category 5 with winds at 185 mph and worsening every three hours or so. It’s destined to hit the islands and absolutely cover Puerto Rico, so one can only imagine the damage it’ll cause to the Islands. Not one bit of Puerto Rico will manage to avoid the rains and winds of this massive, record breaking phenomenon.
It is, quite literally, the biggest hurricane these islands have faced. The largest before was in 1928 and, while also being a category 5 hurricane, had winds literally 20-25 miles slower than this one. Irma seems to only be getting stronger and is sure to bring catastrophic events worse than even Harvey.
So, please, keep us in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️
Take a look at the amazing cover that @flipperbrain created for our OTP’s love story.
I’ve started collating the bear and there are many stories that have no titles, nor do they have whether the story is a deleted, divergent and where the scene starts.
I’m including the Episode title on the story, BUT if you would like to send me the title, please do so by next Friday, September 8. Current go is to finish it next weekend and have it up loaded sometime the following week.

The deadline is passed us and I have yet to hear from some people. I also had a few people say they weren’t writing at the last minute, which I’ve had to find people to write collaborative stories so we don’t have any holes. However, this adds to the time it takes.

This is a test…I’m looking to see which ship has the biggest following in the fandom.

OMG OMG OMG ARE YOU GOING TO POST?????
I did Jen’s M&G in SF and she is AMAZING!!!! Definitely recommend it if you can! Worth every penny! I am dying to go to the con in Vancouver as well! Was there back in September and it is beautiful! :D
Having the same dilemma. I want to meet Jen, since i didn't get the chance to when she cancelled ouatchi. I'm just hesitant about spending money when she's already cancelled a ton. I don't trust her to not cancel that one. Plus, I want to go to Van next year since I've never been to Canada and that costs a ton too. So I don't know.
Yeah, it’s a tough call. I will say that Burbank has a high chance of her keeping the date … it’s near her home and we’re getting closer so any conflicting projects probably would have already been announced … and I was waiting to see how things went in SF and by all accounts everyone was in a great mood and having a grand time…
I won’t be going to Vancouver next year but I’ll probably be in Chicago again since it’s so close to me.
Only 2 more need to be sold before his goal is met!! #behappy
Get one now!! #BeHappy @1MichaelColeman @OnceABC https://international.shopstands.com/products/michael-colemans-be-happy-campaign?utm_source=Michael%20Facebook&variant=37945287621 …

I was actually at both panels as well as her m&g and I can tell you for sure that she wasn't asked that question!
Just to clarify since I haven't been on all day lol. Jennifer never got asked if she would ever consider coming back for a potential series finale, right? I mean, if by that time she's free and willing of course!
No, I watched all of the panels and she wasn’t asked that question.
Only FIVE MORE DAYS!!!!
Reblog if you think it’s a good way to practice writing.
Reblog if you have made friends because of fanfiction.
My sister called it a waste of time and I want to prove her wrong.
REBLOG IF YOU DONT WEAR MAKE-UP ON A DAILY BASIS
I’m trying to prove a point to my guy friend that not all girls wear make-up, and that girls can still look beautiful without it (via sparkling-insecurities)
Both Colin and Jmo are losing. Vote, vote, vote and pass it on!
Reblog if you ship those two; I wanna see how large and supportive of a group we are before the season begins!
I’m curious!
This looks beautiful and will look amazing when signed!!!
Embroidery all matted and ready to be signed for the OUAT con in SF, NJ & Burbank! I am really proud of it, and love it looks!
