I'd assume it would be flashback that connects to a LOUS character, although I suppose they could introduce a LOUS character that creates illusions or raises the dead (especially if horror stories are going to be more featured), so we could see him in present day. Thoughts? My brain can't wrap around it making any sense for him to appear in present day, after the UW arc just ended. Like I'm sure A&E tried to contact him last year to see if he could return because he's like the most popular dead person but they could make it happen and now I think the time has come and gone. However, since the Evil Queen is returning, perhaps she's the one to bring him up after all these years. And maybe that triggers a flashback. (But that probably wouldn't be for multiple episodes like this source is suggesting)

I feel like this is probably just a rumor. Another set pap was asked about it and she said it was unconfirmed. We shall see come 2017, I guess.
