It’s been eight years since ABC’s Once Upon a Time closed its storybook, but the magic briefly returned on the red carpet as three core cast members reunited for photographers.
The Reunion
Goodwin, Dallas, and Grace stood side-by-side at Sunday’s Critics’ Choice Awards, recreating the chemistry that powered the fantasy drama from 2011 to 2018. The show, created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, dropped iconic fairy-tale figures into a contemporary Maine town.
- Goodwin starred as Snow White
- Dallas portrayed Prince Charming
- Grace appeared as young Emma Swan, the couple’s daughter
Still Open to a Return
Speaking to News Of Los Angeles last year at D23, Goodwin made it clear she hasn’t hung up Snow’s cape:
> “I hear these rumors as well, and I am available if they [want to do that]. I mean, I live around the corner from the creator, so I’m sure I’ll hear things.”
She added that OUAT shaped her real life: “I married Prince Charming. His babies are my babies.”
Dallas told News Of Los Angeles in 2023 that new viewers keep discovering the series: “People come up to me all the time talking about Once and saying they just started watching it and they’re loving it.”
Key Takeaways
- The OUAT reunion offered fans a snapshot of the show’s enduring appeal
- Goodwin says she’s ready to reprise Snow White if a reboot happens

The brief red-carpet reunion proves that for both stars and fans, this particular fairy-tale story hasn’t fully closed its book.
