It appears that many of the characters on Once Upon a Time will escape Neverland alive, according to recent photos taken from the set.

Paparazzi took behind-the-scenes photos of Emma (Jennifer Morrison), Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin), David (Josh Dallas) and Henry (Jared Gilmore) being greeted by the show's various Storybrooke residents.

Since Once Upon a Time is estimated to be filming episode 10 or 11, a.k.a. the midseason finale, it would make sense that the Neverland portion of season 3 will have reached its conclusion by then.

Also photographed on set was Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle) and Belle (Emilie de Ravin), indicating that they will be reunited in Storybrooke. Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) might be in a few of the photos but his back is turned so it is not confirmed. Curiously, there was no sign of Regina (Lana Parrilla) in the photographs.

Before the gang returns to Storybrooke, they may still be in contact with Ariel (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), who made her debut appearance in the latest episode. Garcia Swisher recently spoke with E!Online about her status on the series and revealed that there is still more to come from her.

She also teased that Ariel and Emma will be sharing the screen in multiple scenes in upcoming episodes. As for which episodes in particular, she will at least be appearing in next episode's Dark Hollow.

Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
