Emilie de Ravin will return for at least one episode during Once Upon a Time‘s seventh season, EW has learned exclusively.

The actress, who first joined the ABC fairy tale drama in season 1 as Belle of Beauty and the Beast fame, exited OUAT as a series regular alongside five other actors at the close of season 6. However, when EW sat down with executive producers Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis, and David H. Goodman to conduct the first edition of The Hot Seat for season 7, the trio confirmed that de Ravin would return in episode 4 to provide an update on Belle.

At the close of the season, Belle and the other residents of Storybrooke seemed to get their happy endings. However, in a flash-forward to the future, Henry’s (Andrew J. West) daughter Lucy (Alison Fernandez) said his family needed his help, leaving fans worried about the fates of their favorite characters — especially since many of them would not return in full capacity. That was particularly prevalent with Belle since de Ravin would not be returning full-time, while Robert Carlyle would be continuing as Rumple.

Since the announcement, Emilie has filmed her return which features a flashback to her and Rumpelstiltskin’s son’s first birthday.

In April Emilie attended two days of Magic Con, I’ve added several images from the event. Enjoy!

Hi, everyone! Just wanted to announce there’s been a slight change to our gallery (don’t worry it makes your browsing much easier!). Now, when you click on a thumbnail, you will be able to save full size images without having to click again to open it. If you have any questions, you can send a tweet to our twitter. Hope you enjoy! 😀

Back in March, Emilie attended the Once Upon a Time convention in Vancouver. Thanks to Ashley Davis there are really wonderful pictures from it. Be sure to check out her photography as she has lots of goodies for OUAT fans.

Last week I finished uploading screencaps and production stills from Emilie’s final season as a regular on Once Upon a Time. Enjoy!

A huge thank you to FarFarAwaySite!

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to announce that we have brand new themes. A huge thank you to Ana for making our headers and to Neide for customizing our themes!

I am saddened for Emilie that Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis decided to write her character off of Once Upon a Time along with many other beloved characters on the show; however, I am very happy that she will get time to spend with Vera and Eric along with freeing her up for new career possibilities. Hopefully, a new show will come along soon and actually utilize Emilie’s talents.

What does this mean for the site during Emilie’s possible hiatus? Well, not much until we have more news. I will work on updates. There are still many files I need to transfer from the old gallery to our new one along with some events I need to add and upgrading what I can of our LOST screencaps. I have a few other plans on how to improve this site, but those are going to be hush hush for now.

Onto other exciting news! We have a shiny, brand new domain! You can reach the site at emiliederavin.org. I strongly urge you to update your bookmarks to our new domain; however, the site is still accessible through our old one.

Dear #oncers. I wanted to tell you guys myself, but it seems the news was already released :/ … I won’t be returning to #onceuponatime for Season 7. While I would have loved to continue exploring Belle’s journey, the show has decided to move in a different creative direction. Massive thank you to all the fans for your incredible love & support towards me & this character over the past 6 yrs. It’s been an honor & a privilege to bring Belle to life 🙂 Congrats to Adam & Eddy & the returning cast & crew!! I wish you all a wonderful 7th Season!! Much love ?xo
