ONCE UPON A TIME: Rose McGowan to Guest Star as…

ONCE UPON A TIME is no stranger to flashbacks and origin stories, but it seems like in 2013, the series is going to go further than it ever has: ABC confirms that Rose McGowan has signed on to guest star as a younger version of Cora. (Who is played currently by Barbara Hershey.) Deadline was first to break the news.

There is no word yet on when — or why — we’ll first meet young Cora, but ONCE UPON A TIME returns from its winter hiatus on Sunday, January 6, 2013.

What are you hoping to see from a young Cora?
