Snow White's (real) mother is coming to "Once Upon a Time"!

Rena Sofer has been cast as Queen Eva, the mother of Ginnifer Goodwin's Snow whom we'll see in flashbacks, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.



Sofer is slated to appear in at least one episode set for early March, which will also feature Bailee Madison as young Snow White. As previously reported, Eva has a surprising connection to someone we already know.

We may know Queen Eva's fate is ultimately grim, since Regina (Lana Parrilla) came to marry Snow's father King Leopold (Richard Schiff), but the journey to her death should be very interesting.

Exclusive "Once Upon a Time" First Look: Snow White's Mother Comes to Fairy Tale Land

Snow White's mother is coming to "Once Upon a Time" — and TVGuide.com has the exclusive first look!

Queen Eva (Rena Sofer), the mother of Ginnifer Goodwin's Snow, will appear via flashbacks in an episode slated for early March, in which we'll also see Bailee Madison return as young Snow White.





Queen Eva will have a "surprising connection to someone else in our world," executive producer Adam Horowitz tells us. As for whether that means Cora (Barbara Hershey), whom many have suspected had a hand in Eva's death, executive producer Edward Kitsis would only add, "That would be a feud that goes back so long."

As we've previously learned, Queen Eva's fate is ultimately grim, since Regina (Lana Parrilla) went on to marry Snow's father King Leopold (Richard Schiff).





In the episode, we'll also see a new side to Snow White we may not have seen before.

"You would think it would be easy to be Snow White's mother, but perhaps Snow White wasn't always Snow White," Kitsis says.
