Jamie Dornan is coming back, one way or another

Once Upon a Time The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

We saw Graham die — or should I say (cue Twilight Zone music) we saw him appear to die — at the end of episode 7. That doesn’t mean that Jamie Dornan, the actor who played Graham and the Huntsman, is off the show for good.

Even if Graham is really dead (despite my hopes for post-hiatus CPR administered by Dr. Whale and Mr. Gold), there’s always the Huntsman, whose fairytale story may not be over.

This evening, in a tweet, Jamie Dornan seemed to confirm that he will be back. While he didn’t say that exactly, I think he left little room for doubt:

Thank you all for your kind words! Don’t stop watching #onceuponatime . As I’ve said before. ANYTHING can happen in fairytale land ! X

Also, as many people have pointed out, his IMDB page lists him in 21 episodes. (Edited to add 9/9/12: Now his IMDB page is showing only the eight episodes he was in during Season 1. Hmmm ….)

Edited to add 3/12/13: We now have the answer — see this.

This week’s live tweeter is Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan), @jenmorrisonlive. She’ll be tweeting during the East and West Coast broadcasts of Episode 7, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

Last time, Twitter cut off @JoshDallas and put him in Twitter jail because he sent out too many tweets. Hopefully, they won’t be sending anyone else to the Twitter dungeon.

Josh Dallas will be live tweeting Episode 6 “The Shepherd”

In this cute video made last month, four of the OUAT actors talk to TV Guide about the show, their first acting jobs, and their quirky talents. Lana Parrilla can make a horse-galloping sound with her mouth, and Robert Carlyle can juggle three apples. Who knew?

Emilie de Ravin (Claire in LOST) becomes the second LOST acting alum to get a role in Once Upon a Time. The first was Alan Dale (Charles Widmore in LOST), who will be playing Prince Charming’s father.

Editing to add 11/9/11: There is actually a third LOST alum in OUAT. Lana Parrilla, the Evil Queen, was in two episodes of LOST, playing Greta, one of the Others in the underwater Looking Glass station. (Hat tip to Geri in the comments.)
