Some of our very favorite shows *cough* Lost, Star Trek:TNG *cough* can’t seem to get away from Daddy issues, but it looks like Once Upon a Time may be unleashing even more Mommy issues than poor Henry having an Evil Queen for a mother. We’re going to be meeting that evil mother’s Mommy.

EOnline is reporting that Academy Award nominee Barbara Hershey has been cast in the role. Well done, Once casting people; not only is she a wonderful actor, but wow does she look like onscreen daughter Lana Parrilla. Word is that she will continue on in the role in a second season, should there be one. No word yet, but things are looking good.

Once Upon a Time, starring Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Lana Parrilla, airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.
