Once Upon a Time: David Anders Set to Reprise Role as Dr. Whale
“The doctor will be in.”
During a Tuesday Twitter Q&A, iZombie star David Anders responded with those five words when a fan asked about him possibly returning to ABC’s Once Upon a Time.
TVLine has since confirmed that Anders will in fact reprise his role as Dr. Whale (aka Victor Frankenstein) in an upcoming episode of Season 5, which premiered this past Sunday.

Anders made his Once debut in the series’ third episode when Dr. Whale tended to David, as the amnesic Prince Charming emerged from his coma. He last appeared toward the close of Season 3, to deliver Snow White’s baby.
The Alias alum currently is a series regular on The CW’s iZombie, where he plays the formerly undead Blaine.
