~Please don’t Tweet Please don’t Tweet please don’t Tweet Please don’t Tweet~ if it’s on Twitter, I didn’t put it there. Again please don’t tweet, don’t repost anywhere. I do not feel comfortable showing the actors. It would be like me reading them your NC17 chapter fanfic. Here’s the rest of my ouat fanart.
After seven seasons, ABC’s fairy tale mash-up show “Once Upon a Time” is ending on Friday. But Colin O’Donoghue — whose role as the smoldering Captain Hook made him the coolest character on the series — didn’t entirely leave it behind.
“I got to keep my pirate costume,” says O’Donoghue, 37. “I think I’ll put it on display in my house. I’ll never say goodbye to leather pants.”
Along with O’Donoghue, “Once” stars Lana Parrilla and Robert Carlyle. The first six seasons also starred Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, all of whom are returning for the series finale (May 18 on ABC).
“I think how [showrunners] Eddie [Kitsis] and Adam [Horowitz] have concluded the series is fantastic, so we’ve done it justice,” says O’Donoghue.
Over the course of its seven-year run helmed by Kitsis and Horowitz (“Lost”), “Once” threw together fairy tale characters such as Snow White (Goodwin), Captain Hook and Rumplestiltskin (Carlyle), giving their stories unexpected twists (e.g., the show’s version of Little Red Riding Hood was a werewolf).
Half the action took place in real-world settings, but each episode also featured “Lost”-style flashbacks to the characters in fairy-tale worlds. ’Donoghue says he looks back fondly on the show’s version of Neverland.
“Quite a lot of that was shot on the [Vancouver] set, so they had the forest in one of the stages. I also play Captain Hook, so I’m going to say Neverland [was my favorite setting].”
O’Donoghue lives near Dublin with his wife and family. The Irish actor had stints on shows such as “The Tudors” before he joined “Once” in 2012, its second season, and it changed his career.
‘Families could sit down and watch it together. That’s so rare, and it’s something I’m very proud of.’
“‘Once’ brought me to more people’s attention, because it was such a massively popular show,” he says. “I didn’t have social media really before I started the show, and I didn’t know really what Twitter was about, and all of a sudden it exploded.” (He currently has over half a million Twitter followers and over one million Instagram followers.)
While he says he isn’t yet able to discuss what he’s doing next, he’s not sad about the end of “Once.” Rather, he’s proud of its legacy as a show for everyone.
“That’s part of what was so great about ‘Once.’ It went all across the spectrum of age,” he says. “Families could sit down and watch it together. That’s so rare, and it’s something I’m very proud of.”
In the age of superhero TV (“Arrow,” “Jessica Jones”) and gritty genre fare (“Game of Thrones”), “Once” stood out as a genre show that didn’t revolve around superheroes or cater to an exclusively adult audience.
“I’ll definitely miss the show and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the six seasons that I was on it,” he says. “It was a really special thing to be a part of. I hope it has a legacy. It’s a positive show. It’s about love; it’s about the power of what it means to be open and honest and true to people. There’s always a place for stuff like that in the world. It’s been an absolute joy.”
In honor of OUAT Fandom Crescendo here’s the first Captain Swan fic I ever wrote.
It’s a 37k word canon divergence story set (and written) after 3×11. It incorporates this moment from 3×12 location spoilers that was something JMo and Colin tested in the scene but never made the show:
It starts with a scene from the middle of the story, but then quickly flashes back 24 hours (in case you get confused.) Lots of characters make cameos, but I was very purposeful in creating a plot that put Emma and Killian alone and working together for the majority of the story.
It’s pretty light comedy/drama and tropes include road trip, hotel room sharing, mild hurt/comfort, tension/argument, Killian vs the modern world and of course a happy ending.
“THE FIFTH NEREID” – After confronting his
mother, Hook is ready to do whatever it takes to find the truth about his
family in what could lead to a striking clash with his biggest foe,
Rumplestiltskin. In Enchanted Forest flashbacks, Nereus and Doris make an
important decision regarding Calypso’s fate.

Morrison as Emma Swan, Colin O’Donoghue as Hook, Jared S. Gilmore as Henry
Mills, Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret, Josh Dallas as Prince
Charming/David, Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen/Regina, Emilie de Ravin as
Belle, Rebecca Mader as the Wicked Witch/Zelena and Robert Carlyle as
Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold. Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are creators and
executive producers. Steve Pearlman, David H. Goodman and Andrew Chambliss are
also executive producers. The series is produced by ABC Studios.
Guest starring are Keri Russell as Morgana,
Maggie Siff as Ethel, Joseph Fiennes as Davy Jones, Jared Harris as Nereus, Emilia
Fox as Doris/Witch, Alexander Vlahos as Nicholas, Alexandra Dowling as Isabella,
Brad Dourif as Zoso and Caroline Ford as Nimue.
