What would you do if you were neighbors with your favorite fairy tale character? ABC’s Once Upon A Time does just that! Take a dive into Story Brooke, Maine and meet some of Disney’s notorious characters. We meet Regina Mills, played by Leann Parrila (best known for Spin City), who is the mayor of Story Brooke. Regina, the evil queen in the Enchanted Forest, has a curse to banish everyone to Story Brooke.

Then we meet Henry Mills, portrayed by Jared S. Gilmore (best known for Mad Men), Regina’s adopted son, who has an obsession with a specific book of fairy tales. The book given by Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin best known for the role in He’s Just Not That Into You), his English teacher, inspires Henry to find his birth mother.

Emma Swan, brought to life by Jennifer Morrison (best known for House), is Henry’s birth mother. Bringing Henry back to Story Brooke, she struggles to believe in what is revealed to her about her past and future. Is she the key to unlocking Story Brooke’s hidden secrets?
