I really wish Once Upon a Time would do more with Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito. —Elaine

NATALIE: Your wish will soon come true! (Note: That’s also a hint.) Once will bring Esposito back after the New Year, executive producer Adam Horowitz promises. “His origin story will hopefully be very surprising to people; [we’ll find out] who he is, who he was and how he got in the mirror,” he says.

I am going to miss Gus on Breaking Bad, but I am so glad Giancarlo Esposito is going to be on Once Upon a Time. What can you tell me about that role? — Brad
ADAM: He plays the Evil Queen’s Magic Mirror. But like every character on the show, he has a different role in the non-fairy tale world, where he works as a newspaper editor named Sidney. Unlike his mystical counterpart, Sidney doesn’t speak the truth, but rather prints whatever the Evil Queen/Mayor wants him to — especially when a suspicious fire kills the town sheriff.
