It almost doesnt feel like work this week.
What has it meant to you to play a character like Zelena?Its great.
Its not just like you go from you were a villain and now youre a hero.
You dont go from being imperfect to perfect.
I think its brought as much to my life as it has to the fans.
Its brought a lot of people together that maybe never felt seen.
A lot of really beautiful relationships have come out of it.
I think every day is a new beginning.
Now Im full-on, full-blown Zelena again.
I kind of wanted to see that wedding.
Did she marry Chad?
Sometimes you dont want everything wrapped up in a neat little bow.
This is more about the fact that I just felt happy to be a part of the end thing.
Two kids, thats a handful.
A lot of work.
Do you want to hear it?
I would like to do a spin-off with Zelena and Regina in New York, and were cops.
Shes on the back of my broomstick.
We just get rid of all of the bad guys, like a superhero movie.
Then, during the day, were bickering because we got each others Starbucks order wrong.
I mean, it literally writes itself.
Once Upon a Times series finale airs Friday at 8 p.m.
