Once Upon a Time: Who is Dr. Whale?


Who is Dr. Whale (David Anders)? It's the question on every Once Upon a Time fan's mind. Is he Dr. Frankenstein? Peter Pan? The theories are endless and the anticipation is building.

To help you try to puzzle it out, we've collected the juiciest Whale-related spoilers right here.


We find out the truth in Episode 5: Season 2, Episode 5, appropriately titled "The Doctor," will reveal all. David Anders has teased that the episode will "knock [our] socks off." The synopsis for the episode doesn't give us many more clues, though.

Synopsis: As Regina tries to refrain from using her magic in order to regain Henry's trust, she starts seeing a ghost from her past; Mary Margaret and Emma find a survivor from an Ogre massacre; Regina struggles to learn the dark arts.

Whale and Regina: It sounds like Whale will have an intense backstory with Regina (Lana Parrilla) that we'll learn about in Episode 5.

Blood? Injured arm? Cooler? Huh? Some dramatic behind-the-scenes pics show Whale taking a cooler to (from?) Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin's (Robert Carlyle) shop. There's blood on his shirt, and it looks like there's something up with his arm — David Anders is wearing a green-screen armband and keeps the arm hidden in many photos.







We'll never guess: David Anders claims fans will never guess who he is. Do you believe him?

Clues from the start: Want to try to prove David wrong? Well, the writers have been planting clues since Day One. Time to break out the Season 1 DVDs!

Catch the next new episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, October 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Who cares, he's ugly. Bringing down the hotness factor of this show tbh.

NEVER SPEAK OF SARK THAT WAY!

I'm just here for his inappropriate sexual tension with regina.
ragechill 4th-Oct-2012 01:43 pm (UTC)
Lana has good chemistry with everyone.
autophanous 4th-Oct-2012 01:45 pm (UTC)
it's true. last week's episode was pretty much her eye-fucking the entire cast.
hewontgo 4th-Oct-2012 03:06 pm (UTC)
no she has no chemistry with charming and graham
bodyline 4th-Oct-2012 03:17 pm (UTC)
I think you mean Charming.
la_petite_singe 4th-Oct-2012 01:30 pm (UTC)
He will always be Julian Sark to me.
deceitful 4th-Oct-2012 01:53 pm (UTC)
I like to think Sark got bored of the real world and just decides to become involved with the supernatural (Vampire Diaries) and now magic.
la_petite_singe 4th-Oct-2012 01:54 pm (UTC)
Headcanon accepted.
kalishaka 4th-Oct-2012 02:48 pm (UTC)
I approve!
darklydanie 4th-Oct-2012 03:31 pm (UTC)
This!
alessar 4th-Oct-2012 04:24 pm (UTC)
Not far from the truth. The TVD people wrote his part and then said, "Damn, if only we could hire Mr. Sark from Alias..." and then they checked and he was available so they shot his agent an offer. Let me stress that, Kevin Williams called him Mr. Sark in the interview.
iamglory 4th-Oct-2012 05:09 pm (UTC)
I'm sure Rambaldi is the reason magic exists.
buncha_cruncha 4th-Oct-2012 02:04 pm (UTC)
Same. Whenever he comes on screen, no matter what it's in, I'm always like, "Oh, now Sark is here"
psubookworm27 4th-Oct-2012 02:47 pm (UTC)
MTE.
iamglory 4th-Oct-2012 05:08 pm (UTC)
Me too! Especially since I just started to watch Alias again since it's on netflix

sowhat_whocares 4th-Oct-2012 01:52 pm (UTC)
I have been pushing that he is Monstro like, whoa lol. but...I dont think that'd give him much of a backstory to work with. unless he was turned into a whale by Regina or something.
psubookworm27 4th-Oct-2012 02:48 pm (UTC)
That's a good theory
nbyevu 4th-Oct-2012 03:14 pm (UTC)
lol it's so literal that's what I always thought, too.
bodyline 4th-Oct-2012 03:13 pm (UTC)
LMFAO
artemis_archer 4th-Oct-2012 01:32 pm (UTC)
Idky but I read that title as, Once Upon a Time: Who is Dr. Who? and I thought fandoms were colliding
tiffanynichelle 4th-Oct-2012 01:33 pm (UTC)
I like the theory that he is the Pied Piper.
pixiegerms 4th-Oct-2012 01:50 pm (UTC)
????????
tiffanynichelle 4th-Oct-2012 02:29 pm (UTC)
From the way he lead everyone across town to Regina's door.
galagooo 4th-Oct-2012 01:36 pm (UTC)
Dr. Frankenstein.

pixiegerms 4th-Oct-2012 01:51 pm (UTC)
OMG dead
iamglory 4th-Oct-2012 05:15 pm (UTC)
DEAD
jenny_pop 4th-Oct-2012 01:40 pm (UTC)
Regina probably asked Whale (Dr. Frankenstein) for help in reanimating Daniel? Not terribly unlikely.
laurasue 4th-Oct-2012 01:43 pm (UTC)
Whoever he is, I'm REALLY HOPING that the name/doctor thing were just thrown in there for shits and giggles and have nothing to do with his identity. Because it would amuse me if the writers were just trolling everyone.
dothecrunge 4th-Oct-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
I think he's a doctor in the fairy tale world too though. This appears to be him on the left with Jefferson:


He has a doctor's bag
hotness3ya 4th-Oct-2012 01:46 pm (UTC)
He will always have a very punchable face.
ragechill 4th-Oct-2012 02:00 pm (UTC)
LOL. I like your Halloween style icon bb!
hotness3ya 4th-Oct-2012 02:13 pm (UTC)
Ty TY! :)
endingonfire 4th-Oct-2012 01:50 pm (UTC)
David Anders is so hot, I've been in love with him since he played Sark. He was so ~dark~ and mysterious and at the time my grade 9 self was ALL OVER that. Still am hahaha
cluelessraf 4th-Oct-2012 01:53 pm (UTC)
THAT FUCKING RED JACKET THO?!!! ugh
sadisticsidhe 4th-Oct-2012 02:03 pm (UTC)
I like the Dr. Frankenstein theory though i don't know how likely that is.
