In Birth, the reason Dr. Whale's hair is dyed blonde in this episode, is that David Anders bleached his hair for his role on the television series iZombie. In this show, all zombies, including David Anders' character Blaine DeBeers, have platinum blonde hair. Dr. Whale's and Regina's comments about his hair are a tip of the hat to the people at iZombie, who worked with Once Upon a Time's schedule so that they could get David Anders back. The episode script contained more jokes from Doctor Whale, but there wasn't enough room for all of them.

Interesting tidbit about his blonde hair in that ep. I thought Dr. Whale was a fun character.
