Cast Changes

Season two may be over (boo!) but we are already starting to hear news about season three.  Most of the news so far has involved casting changes.  Ruby (Meghan Ory) will no longer be a regular on the series.  Heck, she may not be on the show at all.  She was a series regular last season but was rarely seen after a few episodes.  Word is, because her part had reduced, she found employment elsewhere.  She will now be on a CBS show called "Intelligence" with the always awesome Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost).  So, Meghan is open to doing guest appearances (in an interview she said maybe once per year) but we will be seeing a lot less of her.  I have already wrote a blog entry about Ruby and questioned why she is still on the show, but I still am sad to see her go.  She was a good friend to many characters on the show.

Where we are losing one regular, we are gaining another.  Neal/Baelfire (Michael Raymond-James) will be a regular next season.  This news was both surprising and not surprising.  Surprising because Neal had be shot through a portal into what is probably the Enchanted Forest and we don't know if he is alive or even how he would get home.  Not surprising because a lot of this show is about Rumple and his son, so it would be silly to introduce him and have them reunite in season two just to kill him off or to send him away again.  I am glad we will be seeing more of Neal.  He is connected to so many people on the show and especially because he and Emma realized they still loved each other.  The question is, how will he get home?

I was a little concerned that Belle (Emilie de Ravin) would no longer be a series regular.  After all, the rest of the main cast went to Neverland to rescue Henry and she was left behind with everyone else.  But, Emilie will be a regular next season and Rumbelle will reunite!  Yay!  While we don't know if they will show any of Storybrooke while everyone is in Neverland, we can be certain that we will see her eventually.

I don't have confirmation of this, but Mulan (Jamie Chung) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger) may have been cast in mid-season shows.  I don't even remember where I read this, but if it is true, I really hope we still get to see them next season.  It took awhile to warm up to them, but I really like those two characters.  Plus, we never got to see how they saved Philip.  And now that they found Neal, there could be a good story there.

Is it fall yet?
