Once Upon a Time is about to close it's final chapter, but not before the character's make their final return to Storybrook and welcome back some familiar faces.
Some of the all-important returning characters have already been revealed, so we know that we'll be seeing the old Prince of Thieves himself Robin Hood (Sean Maguire), who died in the show's fifth season.
The return of Robin will be an important moment for Regina (Lana Parrilla), who struggled to come to terms with his death.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Parrilla was careful not to give too much away about Robin's return, but did hint it would be very significant for her character.
When asked if his return would bring Regina closure, Parrilla said: "Yes and no."
"It's not so much closure," she continued.
What to Read Next
"There's a really beautiful moment that they share, but he represents a figure in her life when they come together. It's interesting how they come together, it's not at all what you think."
Parrilla previously told TV Line that the reunion would be "all of what you hoped," adding that she missed sharing the screen with Maguire following his exit.
"I really missed working with Sean Maguire," she added. "It was so comfortable and so easy. It was a dynamic and relationship that I've always supported so it was really nice to have him back again."
But fans shouldn't get too fixed on the idea of their favourites getting a happy ending though, as Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have already revealed that a major death will happen in the finale.
The writers have also previously warned that they don't intend to tie up every loose end - so maybe the story book isn't closed forever after all?
Once Upon a Time's final episode airs on Friday, May 18 at 8pm ET on ABC. Netflix airs the series in the UK.
