‘Once Upon A Time’: No Plans For Jamie Dornan To Return

No suprise, Jamie Dornan won’t be returning to “Once Upon a Time” any time soon.

On Tuesday, during a Q&A with press to promote the ABC show’s midseason return, Executive Producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis fielded a question about whether there was a chance the “Fifty Shades of Grey” actor could come back as Sheriff Graham/The Huntsman.

“Uh… no,” Eddy said, making the press chuckle with the way he delivered his answer.

“I would love to have Christian Grey back, in fact, when we were up there filming [Episode] 13 [of Season 4], we got to hang out with him… but I don’t know if you know this, he’s a huge movie star,” Eddy continued, adding a little more humor in. “And his schedule is such that flying him back to Vancouver — we’d love to have him and if the schedules ever worked out, everyone would be thrilled to have The Huntsman back.”

Just to prove there was no possibility presently, Eddy pointed to Jamie’s workload.

“I can tell you that his schedule this year is non-stop,” Eddy said.

“The character lives on — on DVD,” Adam added.

Jamie returned to the show in Seasons 1 and 2, following his character’s death, the last time in a Storybrooke origins plotline.

“Jamie’s a great friend of us and he’s like family to the show,” Eddy said on Tuesday.

Back in January, Access asked Jamie, following his panel for “The Fall” at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour, if he would want to revisit the leather jacket of Sheriff Graham. Then too, the answer was basically, a no.

“I love those guys, Adam and Eddy. They’re like family to me and I was actually filming something on the same lot as them, just before Christmas,” Jamie told Access. “But yeah, I don’t know. He’s kind of dead.”

“Once Upon a Time” returns this Sunday at 8/7c on ABC.
