"Will you marry me?"

- Sean to Ashley

Sean Herman is a character in Once Upon a Time. He first appears in the fourth episode of the first season. He is played by guest star Tim Phillipps and is the Storybrooke alternate of Prince Thomas. Sean Herman is Ashley Boyd's fiancé and father of her child.

History
Sean is first shown in "The Price of Gold", when he is confronted by Emma asking where Ashley Boyd was. Sean had left Ashley under the strict orders of his stern father, and is in no way at all involved with her.

However, he later decides to disobey his father, and reconcile with Ashley by coming to the hospital after she has given birth and buying his new daughter Alexandra a pair of shoes. Intriguingly, it isn't until after Emma volunteers to pay Ashley's debt to Mr. Gold, allowing her to keep her baby does he return to her. ("The Price of Gold")

A few weeks later, on Valentine's Day, Ashley spends a girls' night out with Ruby and Mary Margaret Blanchard and frequently brings him up. They are together again but she is sad because he is always working to make ends meet, since his father disinherited him.

Towards the end of the episode, he shows up at a bar where Ashley, Ruby, and Mary Margaret are having a girl's night out. He gets down on one knee and asks Ashley to marry him, which she accepts with happy tears. The two then head out for late night drive. ("Skin Deep")
