With news of the new “Twilight” web series, we thought back to when we met Robert Pattinson six years ago. Though he sparkled his way into our hearts as Edward Cullen, he wasn’t the only one vying for the sexy vampire role.

Can you imagine Superman Henry Cavill wooing Bella Swan? It almost happened, too, because author Stephanie Meyer always dreamt of Cavill playing the role.

That isn’t the only shocking almost-casting in the YA world, though. Keep reading for more shockers, and see if you can imagine these role swaps in your head.

Edward Cullen, “Twilight”

“I tested for Edward Cullen,” Franco told MTV in 2012. “I don’t know how close I was. I read for [director] Catherine Hardwicke, but who knows.”

2. Jamie Campbell Bower

Though Bower really wanted to play Edward, he told Fandango, “I don’t think it would have worked. It would have ruined it.” He went on to play Caius in the second film, “New Moon” and the lead in other YA film “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.”

The former “90210″ star joked to Access Hollywood that he would have gotten the part if he had a British accent.

Author Stephanie Meyer always envisioned Cavill playing Edward, but he was too old by the time “Twilight” ...

“Once Upon a Time” kicked off with a chilly start in the Season 4 premiere, “A Tale of Two Sisters.” It was triple the Disney in the episode, too — not only did we meet “Frozen” sisters Elsa and Anna, but we also got a sweet “Beauty and the Beast” dance scene and a glimpse at a potential Mickey Mouse moment in the future.

Though we were satisfied by Regina’s quest to find a happy ending and Emma and Hook’s kiss, we still have a lot of questions about what’s happening in Storybrooke. Read on to see all of the things that still have us scratching our heads.

1. Who is the author of Henry’s fairy tale book?

ABC

Since August is dead (R.I.P., wooden friend), no one can ask him about the author. So, how will Regina locate him or her?

2. Are Snow and Charming taking a backseat this season?

ABC

We understand that stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas were busy taking care of their real-life newborn baby, but the premiere hardly featured them at all. Will Mary Margaret and David sit down this season instead of getting in the action?

3. Is Robin really going to choose boring Marian over Regina? He’s her true love!

It’s been a long summer without “Once Upon a Time,” and it’s given us plenty of time to think about everything we have to see when the fairytale drama returns. Yes, Elsa from “Frozen” is coming, and we couldn’t be more excited to see her send frozen fractals all around… but that’s not all Season Four has to deliver:

1. All Captain Swan, all the time.

ABC

After that amazing kiss in the Season 3 finale, we were left wanting more. Hopefully Hook and Emma will take their relationship to the next level – whether that’s working together, making out, going on dates or a combination of all three (you know, make-out work-dates).

2. Emma using her magic, preferably while teaming up with Regina.

Regina and Emma aren’t in the best place right now after Emma brought back Robin Hood’s wife, Marian, but they don’t have to stay enemies forever. We’d love to see them team up, especially if it involves both of them using their magic. Perhaps to fight Elsa?

3. Rumplestiltskin vs. Elsa and/or Regina vs. Elsa.

ABC

If Emma and Regina don’t fight Elsa, we’d love to see Regina go at it solo, or ...

Magic is coming back to Sunday nights when “Once Upon a Time” returns on Sunday, September 28, but you might need a spell or two to remember everything that went down in season three. In the show’s 22 episodes, we went from Neverland to Storybrooke to the Enchanted Forest and back again, with timeline shifts, deaths, and romances along the way. And now, season four introduces a whole new land and cast of characters, thanks to Disney’s “Frozen” and the icy kingdom of Arendelle.

Whether you’re tuning in for the first time to see Elsa & Co. on “OUAT” or a longtime fan scratching your head trying to remember all of last season’s insanity, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a primer of 10 things you need to remember to prepare for season four:

1. Snow and Charming’s baby boy is named Prince Neal.

ABC

To honor Neal after his death, Snow and Charming named their son Prince Neal. And he’s safe and sound for now after Zelena’s death. They went through a lot of trauma in season three — especially in the two-part finale when Emma had to rewrite their past to make sure they fell in love — but ended up happy. Finally.

2. Hook and Emma made out, and it was glorious.

Though Hook and Emma kissed before — in ...

It’s been a long summer without some of our favorite shows, and with the kickoff of fall TV this month, everyone needs a refresher on where we left off. Rather than giving you the rundown of every detail from season finales, we’re going to hone in on the most important question: Where did our favorite couples leave off?

From the will-they-won’t-they (Hook and Emma on “Once Upon a Time”) to the super complicated (Olivia and Fitz and Olivia and Jake on “Scandal”) to the potential hookups (Damon and Bonnie on The Other Side on “The Vampire Diaries”), we’ve rounded up your favorite ‘ship’s status updates. Keep reading to see who’s together, who broke up, and whose status is “it’s complicated.”

“Scandal”
Olivia and Fitz: It’s complicated.

MTV

Olivia seemingly made her choice when she jetted off to an unknown location with Jake at the end of Season 2. The question is, will it stick, or is she just buying time until she goes back to Fitz?

Olivia and Jake: In a relationship?
We really have no idea what’s happening with Olivia and Jake, with the exception that she ran away with him and is chugging vino on a beach somewhere. Are things romantic, or is she just taking his help?

Quinn and Huck: It’s complicated.
Though Huck and Quinn were hooking up at the end of last season and she even told him that she loved him, all hell broke loose when she took him to his long-lost family. He was so pissed that there’s ...

After seven years without “Veronica Mars,” fans had plenty of questions. When the Kickstarter-funded movie made its debut in March, many of them were answered — including that whole Piz vs. Logan debate, kind of — but, of course, many lingered at the end of the film.

Since we can’t wait until that sequel is greenlit for all the answers, we’ve rounded up some of our biggest burning questions here. Hopefully creator Rob Thomas will chime in, whether with a secret behind-the-scenes video of the Veronica and Logan spin-off we’re waiting for… or maybe just a scene in the real spin-off, “Play It Again, Dick” on CW Seed.

1. Where in the world is Duncan Kane?

Warner Bros.

Thomas pointed out that it wouldn’t make sense for Duncan Kane to just show up at the reunion after fleeing to Mexico with his kidnapped baby in Season 2, but he wasn’t even mentioned in the “Veronica Mars” movie. Since Clarence Wiedman killed Aaron Echolls under Duncan’s orders, he probably knows where Duncan is, right? Has no one used new technology to track him down? Seems unlikely.

2. And what about Jake Kane? Is Veronica done with him, too?

Warner Bros.

In Season 3, Veronica discovered that Jake headed up a secret society full of some of the most powerful men in Neptune and sent Hearst College boys to release her sex tape. When ...
