Below, Morrison reflects on the show’s legacy and how it feels to say goodbye to Emma Swan.

JENNIFER MORRISON:I guess.

Do you have any regrets about leavingOnce Upon a Timewhen you did?

No, I feel like everything happened as it was meant to happen.

My contract was up.

I felt like Emma’s story had naturally reached its happy ending.

There wasn’t really a new place for that to go for her.

And it was absolutely the right thing for me.

I’m discovering on multiple levels what a big deal it is.

I didn’t expect it.

I didn’t expect that I was gonna be that emotional.

It never occurred to me as a kid.

And I thought, “Oh my God, this is how boys always feel.

They have all the superheroes.”

I was really emotional about that.

What’s the most poignant fan interaction that has stuck with you?

What do you thinkOnce Upon a Time’s legacy will be?

Gosh, I don’t know.

I certainly hope that it’s part of the Disney legacy.

you’re able to have your own version of magic in life.

We will make what we see, and it will become a reality.

But also take responsibility that we need to put possible positive futures in the world.

Or maybe I could try it that way."

And I thinkOnce Upon a Timeis a part of that kind of storytelling.

The world is complicated, and there are dark things in the world.

But what is it that we can do to have that possible positive future?

What are the active things we can do?

Man, I have no idea.

I think I might still be too close to it.

It’s hard to perceive what a reconfiguration of this would be down the road.

All right, so Snow White and Prince Charming get together.

If they’re friends with Red Riding Hood, then what?

If they have a kid, then what?

And that’s fun.

I think that there’s a real sense of fun to that.

There’s probably a million ways to reinvent it.
