TVLine Items: Wonderland Doc on Once, Sleepy Premiere Reveal and More
The doctor is (back) in.
Jonny Coyne is set to guest-star on ABC‘s Once Upon a Time, reprising his role as Once Upon a Time in Wonderland‘s Dr. Lydgate, TVLine has confirmed. The news comes on the heels of David Anders’ announced encore as Dr. Whale/Dr. Frankenstein. Fold in Dr. Jekyll, and you have the trappings for a very unorthodox AMA conference.
Coyne first played Wonderland-bound Alice’s asylum overlord in the Once spinoff’s series premiere. His previous TV credits also include Gotham, Salem, Manhattan and 11.22.63. He will appear in the fourth episode of Once Season 6 (premiering Sunday, Sept. 25, at 8/7c).

Jonny Coyne has been outstanding in everything I have seen him in-yay
Good news. Wonderland was anything in the parent series despite the somewhat lame CGI.
Can we have the Red Queen on the show too and reunite her with Will?
I think this is a strong possibility for a couple reasons put together.
1. Jessy Schram is returning as Cinderella.
2. Cinderella has a connection to someone in the land of untold stories
3. When Will came to the grown up once upon a time something had happened to Anastasia
4. It was highly hinted (though not confirmed) that Anastasia was one of Cinderella’s step sisters.
