Yet another familiar face is coming back to Storybrooke. During a Twitter Q&A on Tuesday, David Anders, a.k.a. Dr. Whale, revealed that he will be returning to Once Upon a Time.

TVGuide.com has confirmed that Anders will definitely be appearing in an upcoming episode of Season 5, which premiered this past Sunday to take us on our first trip to Camelot.

Anders' return follows the announcement that both Meghan Ory and Jamie Chung will be back as Red/Ruby and Mulan, respectively. Though, while the two of them will appear in more than once episode, Whale is only expected in a single hour, so far.
