Amy Acker compares her upcoming appearances in both of this season’s fairytale debutants, Grimm and Once Upon A Time.


Acker, who plays the Black Window in tonight’s Grimm and then Grumpy’s sweetheart in a few weeks time on Once, shares her experience of both shows:

I think I enjoyed them both so much because I got to do both of them — because they were so different. It really was night and day. It was so fun to go to Once because I had just done Grimm, and it was this very heavy, dark thing; going to Once, I got to play something totally different, yet it was all kind of within this fairy-tale realm.

On the main differences between Grimm and Once:

I’ve seen episodes of Once that are darker than the one that I did, but I do feel like Grimm has more of a gritty feel. The location in Portland was damp and rainy, and it has a lot more prosthetics — more of a creature vibe — whereas Once has more of a magical vibe with all the costumes. At Once, everything just felt… grand, in the best sense of the word. When I saw my costume, I was just like, “GASP! – I get to wear that?” [Laughs]

On the differences between her time on Angel and Dollhouse compared to the fairytale offerings, Grimm and Once:

That’s the thing that I love about doing these genre shows. I just feel so lucky to have worked with these amazing writers — like Joss [Whedon] and the people who he hired to work on Angel – who went on to make other great shows. When I think back, it’s so hard to even be like, “Oh, which one’s my favorite?” because I feel like I’ve been really blessed as an actress to play so many different types of characters. They’re all in a similar genre, I guess, but they all feel so different, and they’re all written so well — they all feel so real.

Ian stoked to see this I have a theory is that she was actually the FG Rumps was after. And Rumps was the one who got Grumpy in trouble with KG. (He has his fingers in alota pies)

The one Rumpels was after was Cinderella’s fairy godmother, whom he poofed into a cloud of smoke in order to obtain her magic wand. It’s probably safe to assume she didn’t survive to make it to Storybrooke with the cursees. Amy Acker’s fairy character, Grumpy’s love, was named Nova in the Enchanted Forest and is Astrid in Storybrooke.

My theory is that Nova is actually the FGM of Cinderella the one he got was not the right one(like maybe dead Gm was filling in for Nova)
