s Melinda May during the Cavalry’s backstory, has been cast in Episode 19 as Young Regina.

), meanwhile, will play Young Zelena in the same episode, which is titled “Sisters.”

Seen at age 10, Regina is described as neglected and lonely, with zero interest in her mother’s royal duties. Twelve-year-old Zelena meanwhile is coming to terms with the magical ability her father despises so much.

Barbara Hershey — who returns as Cora in the winter premiere (airing March 6) — likely will appear in the episode as the girls’ shared mother.

done,” co-creator Eddy Kitsis recently told TVLine. “The Zelena story in Oz, with Dorothy, will tie into our Underworld story pretty significantly.”

Are you curious to see what the half-sisters were up during their tweenage years?

I said the same thing! That little girl has a lot of talent, if we are to go by what she did last year on AOS. I’m excited to see what she can do with “Young Regina”!

Seriously ouat’s casting are always perfect !! I’ve been waiting for young regina since S1 !!

With the exception of adult Lily and adult baelfire.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who preferred the first Robin Hood. He was quite easy on the eyes…

First Robin Hood was played by Tom Ellis. He now stars on the FOX series Lucifer – and still easy on the eyes.

Great casting. They did young Snow justice.. Looks like the same for Regina and Zelena.

Oh my gosh their beautiful and perfect for the roles. I can’t wait to see them on Once Upon a Time I think this episode will be very interesting.

I don’t even care who plays them, I’m just so excited to see both characters as young girls, and hopefully a great story between them in the present, along worth Cora.

Can’t we just get rid of Zelena for good? I can’t stand that character.

Agreed 100%, I was about to make that same comment. I love the actress who plays Zelena but can’t stand that character.

I totally agree. I can’t stand the whining and the over dramatic facial movement when she whines. I was hoping she was gone for good.

Pretty cool! I love this show and all that you have done! It’s amazing and worthy of many awards! You have them in my book anyway!

Can’t wait for this.Loos like ok at least casting.

There’s a lot of not-so-nice things one could say about this show by now, but one thing that’s impossible to deny is that they’re doing a bang-on job with the casting. Little Regina is perfect, can’t wait to see her on screen and the flashbacks paralled with Lana Parrilla’s adult Regina.
