"Once Upon A Time" season 5 will show more than one character's transformation. Fans will not only see Emma becoming the dark one; although not as sinister, they will also see young Henry going through the rollercoaster ride of teenage years.
Part of the new characters joining the season will be a romantic interest for Henry.
During a chat with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Edward Kitsis said, "We're going to meet Henry's very first crush."
He wouldn't give a clue about the new girl though.
"We want it to be a surprise," Adam Horowitz, his co-executive producer, said. "It's fun to give Henry something new to play and deal with, and to really explore Henry as a boy who's growing up and all the joy and pain of adolescence."
Entertainment Weekly surmises that whoever will be the apple of Henry's eye in "Once Upon A Time" season 5, she will come from Camelot since much of the events in the upcoming season will take place there. Also, the location won't be called a place of love for nothing.
Bustle, on the other hand, guesses that the new character that will catch Henry's eye will be Merida. Henry has always been around strong women all his life, like Regina and Emma. And if he has a thing for the characteristics of the people who raised him, a brave princess like Merida will certainly get his attention.
Merida will not be the only one from her universe to be introduced this season. In telling her story, the series will also introduce her parents. According to TV Line, Queen Elinor and King Fergus will make their appearances in episode 9.
"Once Upon A Time" season 5 premieres Sept. 27.
