'Once Upon A Time' Stars Lana Parrilla And Ginnifer Goodwin Talk This Week’s Deleted Scenes From The Hit ABC Show

There's an all-new episode of Once Upon a Time this Sunday, and Lana Parrilla, who plays Regina/The Evil Queen and Ginnfer Goodwin, who plays Mary Margaret/Snow White, are revealing the upcoming plot details as well as some of the scenes that didn't make the cut.

Lana revealed that although her character is starting to bond with Snow White/Mary Margaret, fans won't see their heart-to-heart moments this week. Due to time restraints, their scenes together, one including Regina reaching out to Mary Margaret about true love, had to be cut from this week's episode.

Ginnifer described the deleted scenes as "brilliant," even though they are not in the episode. The 36-year-old actress summed up the missing clips to TV Line, saying they involved Snow White and The Evil Queen "learning to respect each other in such a way in that they now get out of each other's ways when facing conflict. There's actually a stepping back because of a newfound mutual respect that they found."

"One thing [Ginny and I] love is that these two characters have known each other the longest, for the most part — except for Rumple," Lana added during her interview with TV Line. "But there was once a mother-daughter bond, and to see them graduate to the place they are now is quite beautiful and compelling to play and watch ... They really kind of found each other, and help each other along."

As for what you will see on tonight's episode, Lana revealed that Regina's fight with Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) will be pushed aside while they hunt for the Snow Queen together. Although Emma's the last person Regina wants to see, they end up teaming up to find the latest Storybrooke villain.

"Their journey is quite comedic — Regina just does not let her off that easy. It's one snarky remark after another," Lana told TV Line about Regina and Emma's onscreen dynamic this week.

"What's so beautiful about Regina and Emma, especially at the end of this episode, is that Emma comes clean and says, 'I don't really have anybody else who understands this magic inside of me. You're the only one I can relate to. And I need you.' And I think that's very touching for Regina to hear," she added.
