Remember when … October 23 seemed so very far away? It’s now this Sunday and that means it’s finally time for the Once Upon a Time premiere! And we have news and an exceptionally long trailer and even some Q&A time with the co-creators, to help you prepare.

Two more guest stars have been announced; one was actually announced by the star herself. That would be Emma Caulfield, Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. TV Line Reports are that she’ll be playing the evil blind witch of Hansel & Gretl fame. She confirmed via Twitter last week:

Also cast as a guest star in the show is Ben from Covert Affairs, Eion Bailey. According to TV Guide, he’ll beplaying “The Stranger.” Ooooo. We know he does “attractive and mysterious” very well, so we’re looking forward to this.

Star Ginnifer Goodwin tweeted about a question-and-answer session to be held on the show’s Facebook page tomorrow (Friday):
