Elizabeth Mitchell Reveals Future of ONCE UPON A TIME's Ice Queen and Frozen Characters

ONCE UPON A TIME's Elizabeth Mitchell recently sat down with ACCESS HOLLYWOOD to talk about how her character, the Snow Queen, is trying to undermine multiple relationships in the show.

She said of her character's thoughts about being with Elsa and Emma, "I don't think she wants there to be anyone else around. I think she thinks that people are always gonna try to hurt her or capture her, or she's gonna hurt them. There's too much pain for her with them, but not with her sisters. That's the only safe place and she thinks that that must be true for them too, so she's really just trying to create a safe world for them, but doing it in really horrible ways."

She described her character as childlike, "If you think about it from a fractured mined and you think about it like a child, instead of thinking about it like an adult who has morals and consequences and all those things," she said.

"It really is just - I just have to get them to just be with me, you know what I mean? And then everything's gonna work out. And I have to get them to see that everybody else is mean and is going to be horrible to them, except for me. So really, I'm here to save them. If you think about it in that way, then you kind of like kind of can get it, but Woof! It's messy, that's for sure."
