Keck's Exclusives: Not So Long Ago Kills Off Its First Legendary Disney Character

Not So Long Ago, Catherine Lough Haggquist On last night's Not so long ago, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother was snuffed out by Rumpelstiltskin just like she was going to wave her wand making Cinderella's fantasy evening become a reality - making her the very first of Disney's legendary figures to become wiped out off ABC's new fantasy series. (And thinking about the show has been written and created by a couple of Lost's longtime authors, it is a safe wager they will be a lot more in the future.) But works out authors Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz did not even realize they'd accomplished this milestone until I clued them in. "My dear God, I suppose we did," exclaims Kitsis. "I do not think we even considered it in individuals historic terms. As storytellers, we simply thought it might be awesome if Cinderella reached the ball via a cope with Rumpelstiltskin, not the Fairy Godmother." Adds Horowitz: "Among the styles we are having fun with about this show may be the cost of miracle. Using miracle even permanently is really a harmful proposition." As the authors say it is possible we're able to begin to see the Fairy Godmother again in pre-dying flashbacks, Horowitz demands, "We actually want the stakes actually was and also the audience to not feel scammed." Might there be implications to killing off this type of beloved figure? "I'll say this," teases Kitsis. "Basically were Rumpelstiltskin, I'd be careful for that other fairies [for example Pinocchio's Blue Fairy], because they are out for revenge!"
