While Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold, Emma, and Henry leave Storybrooke to find Rumple’s long-lost son Bae in Manhattan, Anton the Giant (Jorge Garcia) is held captive on Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoughue)’s pirate ship at the Storybrooke docks.
ABC shared some photos with TVLine last week of Charming and Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) in a confrontation with Anton, the Giant on the ship. I arrived too late to see them filming these on the floating priate ship set at the Britannia Heritage Shipyard set in Steveston last December (I’d been downtown in Gastown watching OUAT’s first unit filming Manhattan scenes). I did get there in time to see Ginnifer Goodwin (wrapped in a red plaid blanket) come off the dock and pose for photos with waiting fans taken by Josh Dallas. Lucky fans.
Bringing the floating set back to dock.
I’d rather have seen them on the pirate ship set but I don’t know how much was visible from shore.
ABC also shared a promo photo of Colin O’Donoghue laughing in this fight with Dallas.. Good pals O’Donoghue and Dallas walked off the docks together. Here he is walking with Dallas and Goodwin. I must have been too late for Jorge Garcia’s scenes on the ship set.
The sight of Anton, the Giant, having a beer in Granny’s Diner makes me laugh.
I can’t tell if this is before or after he rampages through Storybrooke.
