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
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”
Well we know for a fact that he is still alive.
[adrotate group="5"]Lily, Red, and Mulan might be secondary and tertiary characters, but Dopey is incredibly far below. Like maybe 6th tier.
Agreed. Even within the dwarves themselves, Dopey is quite low ranking.
Grumpy is obviously up top. He’s the main dwarf that’s featured and given lines.
Sneezy is in second mainly due to his season 1 screen time as Mr Clark. He is now the most recognisable after Grumpy.
Happy is in third. He is normally around when some of the dwarves are required for a scene.The other four dwarves are background dressing. Doc and Bashful have had a few lines here and there but Dopey and Sleep haven’t said anything, they’re just there.
Episode appearances
Grumpy- 38 plus that one episode of OUATIW
Sneezy- 27
Happy- 28
Sleepy-28
Doc- 30
Bashful-25
Dopey- 19As you can see, Dopey has considerably less screen time than the others. Also, whilst Doc and Sleepy may have been in more episodes than Sneezy, Sneezy’s scenes had more substance. Doc tends to be just there.
All magic comes with a price!

Doesn’t matter. Less screen time or not, it never means he is history in the show. And like I informed above: we know for a fact that he is still alive.
Dopey has not been forgotten!

who said he's leaving the show?

It seems Dopey may return next season after all. Well maybe not the original actor of him. But still.
Yeah, Adam has said similar things about Ana, Will, Lily, Mal…ect. No one is ever forgotten, but it doesn’t mean they get screen time, narrative, or anything.
They might throw out a line or something about Dopey being human again (or even get a body double like they did with Gwen) but *shrug* he’s not actually important to the story so if they never showed him or talked about him again, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.

Well there was no double of Guinevere in the episode. She never even appeared in the finale. Dopey is so important for Snow you know. For one thing, he like the other dwarfs are her protective brothers, loyal and supportive. They made hime like the disney version, that’s why he is silent and wearing a purple cap.

He’s only important in the sense that Snow is supposed to have 7 dwarf friends (which the show actually subverts by introducing Stealthy), but he’s the most underdeveloped (again, no story, no words, no plot, nothing to explain his muteness, nothing to show us what his Curse life was like). And yes, they are protective of Snow, like brothers, but the narrative doesn’t suffer without him. Losing one dwarf (keeping him a tree) didn’t affect Snow at all (she hasn’t even mentioned the fact that Dopey is still a tree–or tried to fix this–since it happened). He’s canon fodder, like I keep saying. He’s there cause Snow White (as Disney made her and is everyone’s most readily accessible reference point) has 7 dwarf friends. But he does not need to be there for the show to run properly.
This isn’t to say that Dopey won’t be de-tree’d or that he won’t be referenced at some point, but it’s not exactly the top order of business. If it happens, great. If it doesn’t, it’s because there’s a ton of other plot that is much more significant.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well they could pull an explanation for a recast out of thin air.
Being a tree changed Dopey’s appearance, so now he’s Michael Fassenbender.
But yeah this is all weird. Dopey’s a pretty minor character though, so I’m sure they will just give us a line of dialog saying hes okay or that he decided he liked being a tree more, or something.

It’s neither. That is Michael Fassenbender. He will never be on the show.
