Although Dr. Whale has been absent for a few episodes, expect him to return to Once Upon a Time soon! Plus, we’ll possibly learn about his fairytale character counterpart when he does!

TV Line reports that David Anders will reappear in episode 1×15 ‘Red Handed’, which centers on Ruby (Little Red Riding Hood)!

Further, his fling with Mary Margaret is definitely over. Because, “The thing about Dr. Whale is he can’t be tied down.” Interesting.

Any theories about who he really is?
