Jeff's made it very clear that he's not talking about flashbacks. Returning actors, wrapping their final performance on the set in the prior few days and weeks are not flashbacks. At this point, "flashbacks" is more rumor than the actual returns we've seen documented or alluded to.

Hoechlin's back double was probably for a very small insert scene - like the one of Stiles in Scott's memory of Lunatic this season - necessary for continuity but not as a replacement for the actor himself. The fact that they needed such an insert is pretty close to proof that Derek plays at least a small role in the season.

Your attitude is exhausting especially after we've been presented with mounting evidence that certain individuals were actually back on set.
