ONCE UPON A TIME - ABC VIDEO FEATURETTE: Meet Snow White! New Series Premieres Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 8/7C
Meet Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) from Once Upon a Time! You found me!
Emma Swan’s life has been anything but a fairytale. A 28-year-old bail bondsperson, she’s been taking care of herself since she was abandoned as a baby. But when Henry—the son she gave up 10 years ago—finds her, everything changes. Henry is desperate for his mom’s help and thinks that Emma is actually the long, lost daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Yes, the actual Snow White and Prince Charming. Even stranger, Henry believes that Storybrooke, the sleepy New England town he calls home, is really part of a curse cast by the Evil Queen, freezing fairytale characters in the modern world with no memory of their former selves.
Of course the seen-it-all Emma doesn’t believe a word, but when she gets to Storybrooke, she can’t help sensing that everything’s not quite what it seems. As Henry shows Emma around with the help of his fairytale book, the town, and its inhabitants like Henry’s therapist Archie Hopper and the enigmatic Mr. Gold, seem just strange enough to set off her already suspicious nature. She becomes even more concerned for Henry when she meets his adopted mother, Regina, who he suspects is none other than the Evil Queen herself!
Storybrooke is a place where magic has been forgotten—but is still powerfully close—and happily ever after seems just out of reach. In order to understand where the fairytale world’s former inhabitants came from, and what ultimately led to the Evil Queen’s wrath, you’ll need a glimpse into their previous lives. But it might just turn everything you’ve ever believed about these characters upside-down.
Meanwhile, the epic battle for the future of all worlds, modern and fairytale alike, is about to begin. For good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.
Cast includes Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Stargate Universe's Robert Carlyle, Lana Parrilla, Jared Gilmore, Josh Dallas, Raphael Sbarge and Meghan Ory.

GATEWORLD: Super-Mom!
Sunday - October 16, 2011
by Chad Colvin
Multitasking is no issue for Stargate Universe actress Alaina Huffman (“Lt. Tamara Johansen”). While filming the series as a regular cast member for two years, Huffman also made repeated appearances on fellow genre series Smallville. In addition to her screen appearances, Alaina was also actively developing her current MTV comic book series — Agent Mom — while simultaneously juggling all those industry ventures with real-life motherhood of her three children (Huffman’s last pregnancy was written into SGU‘s storyline). Long story short — Huffman is an ambitious force to be reckoned with.
We caught up with Huffman at Wizard World’s Chicago Comic-Con event in August, where she was seated directly next to fellow SGU alum — and last week’s exclusive GateWorld interview — Julia Benson. Our time with the actress was limited due to the size and high attendance of the event (if you’re able to attend one of their conventions, I’d highly recommend it). But our conversation with Alaina Huffman is fantastic as she chats about another upcoming addition to the Huffman clan, her personal highlights for Tamara Johansen in Season Two of SGU, the response to her comic series thus far, and more!
... GW: What would you say were some of the highlights for T.J. over the course of the entire season?
AH: "I think her coming into her own. The first season was really about how we had to find what our purpose was on the ship, on Destiny … how we could contribute to the solution and not the problem. The second season, I feel like her overall arc was coming into her own. Even though she met with bigger challenges, like operating on Volker and Greer and doing things that she was uncomfortable with, including dealing with the baby and the whole love triangle with her and Varro, I feel like she sort of was coming into her own.
I would have loved a third season for all of us to develop a deeper character. More of a personal character, because really, the first two seasons was about us discovering our character as we are on the ship. Not relaying our own personal experiences..."
