[shipperx]

From TVGuide:

Once Upon a Time has found its good witch!

The Client List alum Sunny Mabrey has been cast as Glinda the Good Witch on the ABC fairy tale drama, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

As first reported by TVLine.com, Glinda is an elegant and wise witch, though years of isolation have made her lonely.

Mabrey joins the previously cast Rebecca Mader, who plays the Wicked Witch of the West. The second half of Once's season will take on a heavy Oz theme.

Dang-it, was I the only hoping they'd do a twist on that a la Peter Pan and Wicked?

With Glinda being wicked and Elphaba (Wicked Witch of the West) being good?

I guess they figure they'd already done that with Pan, and don't want to be predictable?

I think they can't do any Wicked because of trademark issues. In fact I don't think they can do anything related to the movie either (so no ruby slippers). Disney only has rights to the books.
