SET: ONCE UPON A TIME’s CaptainSwan (Colin O’Donoghue & Jennifer Morrison) Horse Ride in Burnaby’s Central Park

The most romantic CaptainSwan scene ever?


ouat cp299 e-2

How goes the Search for Merlin in Camelot? It’s hard to tell from the glimpses we’ve seen of different Once Upon a Time sets and characters in Burnaby’s Central Park. Last weekend Once Upon a Time crew built a thatched village in the park to film a scene of [young Arthur and Guinevere] on Monday. And the couple known as CaptainSwan — Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) and Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) — rode through the park on horseback. I was there around suppertime when crew set up and moved fans and spectators out of the shot but missed the horseride.  Fans camping on blankets had a better view.

Horses on standby as scene set up. ouat cp100 e-2 Emma Swan in one of her Dark Swan costumes. ouat cp200 e-2 Thatched Village set. ouat cp119 e-2 ouat cp125 e-2 ouat cp110 e-2 ouat cp114 e-2 ouat cp106 e-2 Village set on Sunday.

A neighbourhood boy spotted the  Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) and Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) in his school’s woods. The on-screen frenemies then flew down to Disney23 Expo where they joined show runners Edward Kitsis and Adam Horwitcz on a Once Upon a Time panel. Goodwin had her off-screen violet hair. ouat disney23 2 e The Squire’s Camp used earlier in the month is part of the Search for Merlin in Camelot, too.
