Im sort of confuse with these articles( Tv line sweeps “list of big returns” and eonline), especially by what they mean by “returns”, let`s put on the table that is Neal, if was him that would not be a return, if he does for example, a dream sequence with Henry or a flashback with Henry, that for me is an apperance, not return, is simply a scene, for me a return and i think is what these articles or at least Tv line one means, is a return of a character to the show for more than one scene and to stay sometime, even if not as regular, that would be a return, which we know wont happen. And on the Eonline article, are A&E that say the words big return i believe, so i think they would not say a big return to neal, they could say maybe a old character will make one apperance, i say this, if was Neal, matt M would know this and would be making articles about it.
I looked at their scorecard for last year, and their big returns included characters that didn’t necessarily stick around in a larger capacity. Here’s their list of Resurrections/Big Returns from last year:
1. AIRED April 26: Lily/Once Upon a Time 2. AIRED April 28: Maria Hill/Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 3. AIRED April 28: Sameen Shaw/Person of Interest 4. AIRED May 3: Victoria/Revenge 5. AIRED May 3: Charlotte/Revenge 6. AIRED May 6: Cragen: Law & Order: SVU 7. AIRED May 7: Liv/The Vampire Diaries 8. AIRED May 8: Catherine/Hawaii Five-0 9. AIRED May 8: Trubel/Grimm 10. AIRED May 8: Kelly Burkhardt/Grimm 11. AIRED May 8: Diana/Grimm 12. AIRED May 11: Sin Rostro/Jane the Virgin 13. AIRED May 11: Esther/The Originals 14. AIRED May 14: Jeremy/The Vampire Diaries 15. AIRED May 14: Nostradamus/Reign 16. AIRED May 14: Oscar/Elementary 17. AIRED May 15: Martin Meisner/Grimm 18. AIRED May 15: Agent Chavez, Grimm

Yes, I know that is why I said not coming back as regular, but these characters on the list all stayed more than one scene in one episode, which would be the Neal case, just one scene, just like 512, that is why for me he doesn’t fit into a big return, if he was to comeback for some episodes and then gone again, that would be a return, one scene is like i said before just one apperance.
