“Once Upon a Time” producers revealed on Tuesday that they had hoped to bring The Huntsman/Sheriff Graham, the character played by Jamie Dornan, back for a visit during Season 3.
Due to the actor’s schedule playing Christian Grey in the “Fifty Shades of Grey” film, and his work on the BBC Two’s “The Fall,” he won’t return to the ABC drama any time soon.
“Last year, when he did ‘Welcome to Storybrooke’ for us, it was fantastic to have him come back,” Executive Producer Edward Kitsis explained to reporters, when AccessHollywood.com brought up the now big screen hunk, during a sit down with TV writers. “He’s a friend of ours, he’s a friend of the show and unfortunately, this year, he goes right from the movie to ‘The Fall,’ so there was no – because they were shooting [‘Fifty Shades’] in Vancouver, we were hoping to…”
“And it’s funny… his part was always conceived as that seven episode arc in the first season… with the hope we could bring him back here and there as we’ve done,” fellow EP Adam Horowtiz chimed in. “But … it’s gratifying that everyone seems to have responded so well to his talent.”
When Access asked how Dornan’s character would have been written back into the drama, the producers said that question was better left unanswered until the end of Season 3.
“Ask us that after the finale,” Kitsis said. “And then we will tell you exactly what we wanted to do and then you will be so bummed that we didn’t get to do it, and then you will have the same look on your face that I do right now, which is sadness.”
“We miss him dearly,” Adam said.
While they miss the actor, the producers said they are pleased to see Jamie doing so well.
“We’re so happy for him,” Horowitz said.
“To be honest, we’d like to take credit for it, actually,” Kitsis laughed, adding, “We are his biggest fans.”
And, should Dornan have some time on his hands, he is welcome back on “Once.”
“We’re very, very happy for him,” Horowitz said. “Obviously… we’d love to have him if he ever wanted to come back, but he is quite busy right now, and rightfully so. He’s very talented.”
“Once Upon a Time” returns on Sunday, March 9, on ABC.

[adrotate group="5"]I wonder, what would have been the reason for bringing him back in the flashbacks if Jamie was available?

Awwww. I desperately wanna know how they would have used him, but I don’t wanna know if it’s gonna bum me out.
Not sure I want to know what the storyline would have been because I’ll be super disappointed. I want Jamie back!
You know, the fact that they won’t tell us until after the finale makes me think that he was going to play a part in the upcoming “Emma gets her memories” back storyline. She still has those shoe laces wrapped around her wrist…why? What story does she have in her head for that? May originally, A and E wanted to have Graham appear in flashes to Emma in NYC Serenade. As her curse is breaking she sees flashes of things–like when she believed in magic and the curse in the first place, holding the book, she saw Snow and Charming putting her into the wardrobe.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I am thinking they originally wanted to resurrect Graham in some way, because their reluctance to say until after the Season finale seems like its something other than for a flashback. I know they said dead is dead, but…we already know Rumple’s coming back.

hmmmm.
Interesting. If they did that though, there would be questions about Cora.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"A little while ago, Jane (I think) mentioned somewhere (Barbara Barnett interview perhaps) that she was writing some stuff at the time that had involved a certain character, but the actor wasn’t available, so they had to alter it. She said that when S3A was airing though, so it was probably too long ago to have been stuff that would have been for Graham, if we haven’t seen what they were planning yet. I dunno how far in advance the writers plot stuff like this out in detail.
