Greetings From Storybrooke A Once Upon A Time Podcast

In this special episode we talk ONCE Season 3A with Hope and Anthony on her show Hope of All Trades. WARNING: This episode may contain adult material... and magic juice. We'll have another special episode tomorrow if you are easily offended.

Tonight is the night we remember who’s passed. With so many characters it’s quite hard to last. Rest in peace, villains (like Cora and Pan), you who took our hearts in support of your plans. Goodbye to the one-offs like Gaston and Medusa, who left far too soon due to some sad producer. And if you have no idea why we’re making a fuss-fuss, it’s all an excuse to say farewell to Gus Gus.

Join Bill and Anne Marie as they run down all the latest news and rumors for the rest of Season 3. We also read a ton of your feedback about the season thus far. Grab your magic juice… it’s time for a spoiler party! Show Notes Letters start around 29:30. ‘Once Upon a Time’ scoop: […]
