I would leave him listed as starring. As I guessed earlier, and even A & E have hinted, Neal may very well appear in flashbacks. Let's face it, I would bet that this was not the first time Neal and Rumple swapped places.

And that comment earlier about Neal mentioning the note... makes you wonder. (It also makes you wonder if Neal knew he was a 'dead man walking' any time he was 'out' during the remainder of the lost year in the EF, which might explain Hook's reaction in the Hospital even more, since he seems to have a better handle on the events of the missing year)
