Once Upon A Time star Jamie Dornan has teased that he "wouldn't be shocked" to see his character resurrected after seemingly being killed off in this week's episode.
The actor suggested that the nature of the ABC fantasy series allowed for Sheriff Graham and his fairytale counterpart the Huntsman to be brought back at a later date.
"There's definitely a chance my face will be seen again," Dornan told Digital Spy. "That's the way the show is written, they make allowances for that. They leave it very much open for surprises like that.
"I can't say too much, but I wouldn't be shocked if I was seen again... there's a lot of flashbacks and stuff."
Asked what's in store for Emma (Jennifer Morrison) following Graham's murder at the hands of Regina (Lana Parrilla), Dornan replied: "Emma's very independent [and] strong... she's a tough cookie.
"But she did let herself fall for the sheriff and I literally died in her arms. How she deals with it is quite interesting. She ends up taking on a lot of responsibility after I've gone."
Dornan also admitted that he was taken aback by the response to Graham's death over in the US as he had been aware of the twist from the very start.
"The reaction in the States was mad," he recalled. "Twitter went mad - there's all these 'save the Huntsman' campaigns. I suppose it's a big thing, because it's the first [character] to go.
"I knew it was happening when I started it, so I wasn't shocked. But I suppose lots of people were. I think it's cool to be involved in the show in any realm."
Once Upon A Time exec Edward Kitsis said in February that he would like Dornan to return.
