As "Once Upon a Time" nears its season 3 premiere, more spoilers are coming in about Snow, Emma, Ariel, and even Dr. Whale!

Regarding "Once Upon a Time" season 3, spoilers provided by Michael Ausiello allude to the fact that Emma and Snow will have more screen time than before.

"In a lot of ways, Mary Margaret may not be able to bond with Emma, but Bandit Snow and Emma have a lot in common," says "Once Upon a Time" co-creator Eddy Kitsis.

It seems that this season, balancing the fairytale characters with the Storybrooke counterpart will play a big part of overcoming obstacles in Neverland.

"David and Mary Margaret last year were saying, 'We are both,' but this year it's, 'We need Snow and Charming.' That's what this mission requires."

In addition, "Once Upon a Time" season 3 appears to have already filmed five episodes, and Adam Horowitz provided spoilers regarding what episode 6 will center around.
