Well, looks like Dopey won’t be coming back: https://twitter.com/JeffreyEKaiser/status/745663734002003968 So is he forever stuck as a tree?
Not unless they recast him like they did with Robin Hood and Gaston, which is very likely. Do you honestly think they would just leave him there as a tree? They didn’t on Sneezy. You forget? If they put more Bandit Snow White Flashbacks (which is very likely) involving the dwarfs, Dopey will no doubt be there as a different actor.
Yes. They pretty much ignored the fact that a tree is there when they left for NYC. In addition, the writers don’t care that their show no longer makes sense. This is just another instance.

But…but…he was my favorite dwarf!! I wanted him to have a storyline…I wanted him to speak!….. why…whyyy!!!
It seems he chose to leave the show
I wonder why. But then again, it wasn’t like they were doing much with him…. :/Sneezy and Happy are my favourite dwarves but if Dopey leaves, how can it be the seven dwarves when there are only six of them or is Anton getting an upgrade?

Robin Hood and Gaston were both cases where the previous actors literally only appeared for one episode. They have yet to recast anybody who has been long recurring. It’s also suspicious that they left Dopey as a tree for the entire Season without freeing him. When Sneezy lost his memories, which I didn’t forget, he regained them by the end of the same Season. Same cannot be said for Dopey, who still remains a tree. Now could they recast him? Sure, but I’m not entirely counting on it either.
But just because Dopey didn’t change back in the finale, doesn’t mean he won’t change or won’t return in the next season. This is like how they left a climax for Lily when she was left to search for her father and we won’t be seeing it until probably this coming season. It is also like when we were wondering where Red was in season 4 until revealed for season 5, especially for Mulan.

Anton is more like Stealthy’s successor in a matter of speaking. After all he is like their adoptive brother.

with the new abc network president around, she would probably do something about this just like she did for Charming.
It’s also suspicious that they left Dopey as a tree for the entire Season without freeing him.
Agreed. He’s a tree forever now I guess.

No. There is a major difference. Dopey is a character who has never had a centric, never spoken, or never been given any sort of storyline outside of being “one of the dwarves.” Lily, Red and Mulan were all given those things (centrics, lines, plot) Dopey never had (even if it’s a shared centric, in that case). Lily, Red, and Mulan might be secondary and tertiary characters, but Dopey is incredibly far below. Like maybe 6th tier.

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t have a centric. Like the three, we might still have a moment and answer to what happens to people like him later on as usual. It might also be like how (even though we didn’t see it) Sneezy got his memories back in season 3 and how Regina changed Sneezy back from stone in ep 2 of S5. What’s your excuse? He may still return as a different actor no matter what. And what’s what’s that suppose to mean by you saying maybe 6th tier?

Could they do that? Sure. Do I think they will? No.
And you really (really) need to stop this incredibly aggressive responses to people. You’ve been warned many times.
And what’s what’s that suppose to mean by you saying maybe 6th tier?
It means that in the broad scope of the narrative, Dopey has no important storylines and adds nothing to the actual plot lines except as canon fodder–ie: being one of the dwareves who is only there because the dwarves are always linked to Snow White, a first tier character with meaningful plot, storyline, and overall importance to the narrative.
First tier characters would be those that influence the show and without whom the story would falter drastically: Emma, Snow, Regina, Rumple, ect.
Secondary and Tertiary characters can exit the narrative for periods of time (long and short) and not impact the story a ton but can always easily be written back in because they’ve been given weight and narrative previously: Red, Mulan, Aurora, Whale, Grumpy, ect.
Characters below 2 and 3rd are those who have never influenced the narrative, never been given any sort of narrative weight or importance except to fill out a scene: nameless peasants, roles that do not speak, and those who simply stand in the background as part of the “town”
