This is some highlight of the conversation:

Snow & The Crow

Eddy: Ginny is fearless. She has worked with more animals on this show and has had more of them…’go to the bathroom’ on her than any actress probably ever. She’s really great with the animals. I remember even in the pilot, when we did the little bird, we actually had her catch it and fly off. It’s great and that crow looks scary! I don’t think I would be able to do that.--- Oh yeah! No, it’s a huge crow! It’s a huge, scary crow. And yeah, but you know, the crow hit its mark.

Hook & Cora

Adam/Eddy: I would say if you are curious about Hook’s relationship to Cora, watch next week. Yeah. You will see that they have a past. Not the past you’re thinking of, you dirty Oncers!

Hook & Aurora's Heart

Adam/Eddy: The question I would have is, ‘how did he (Hook) learn to do that?’ Because we’ve only seen very specific people do that. We’ve only seen The Queen, Cora and Rumple. I would say watch episode 9.
