A network spokesperson confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that Emilie de Ravin is joining the fantasy series for Episode 12 airing early next year, as first reported by TVGuide.com.

Ravin will be playing the series’ version of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The network didn’t disclose any further details on the role, though she’s reportedly connected to the creepy Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle). Currently, she’s only appearing in one episode.
