A familiar face will be joining the cast of Once Upon a Time on a full-time basis, TVLine reports. Michael Raymond-James has officially been promoted to series regular status on the ABC show.

Raymond-James made his debut early in the second season as a pivotal character, Neal Cassidy, or Baelfire as he is known in the fairy tale world. As Emma’s ex, Henry’s father and Rumpelstiltskin’s son, he was a recurring presence throughout the season.

What effect will this promotion have on the characters in Storybrooke and in fairy tale land? Viewers will find out when the third season of Once debuts this fall on ABC.
