Set in the small New England town of “Storybrooke,” the drama alternates between a land of make-believe, full of princes and evil queens, to a parallel world in modern-day Maine, where townspeople remain unaware they are part of a fantasy world. Morrison portrays Emma, an abused foster child who is the abandoned daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Asked what she thinks will draw fans to the series, she said: “The show is incredibly unique and different from anything I know to compare it. I think it’s kind of a combination of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Harry Potter.’ It definitely has elements of good vs. evil and there’s fairy tale characters involved, but it’s also very grounded in reality and focuses on people’s very real, very gritty relationships with each other.”
