Lana Parrilla teases the April 1 episode of Once Upon a Time, in which we’ll learn more about how the Evil Queen became evil! Beware of mild spoilers.

Lana tells TV Guide that in the episode ‘Stable Boy,’ we’ll learn a lot about the Queen:

You’ll meet young Regina. I look totally different – fresh-faced, doe-eyed, young, fun, excited about life, in love, and then it just gets really dark. It’s way before she becomes the Evil Queen.

Ginnifer Goodwin adds:

Folks will sympathize with the Evil Queen in ways they’re not expecting.

We can’t wait to see a more sympathetic side of the Queen!
