The Time Lords returning has not really been well explored in the wiki with myself included. I think that the Time Lords coming back should not mean an instant return to the Time War if no one knows they have returned. Perhaps in the 14th Doctor's first season there should be rumours from various species that it may have returned and then over the course of the season it should play out so that some races know the where abouts of Gallifrey.

With the Time Lords being extremely corrupt and not afraid to hide some secrets it would probably be a good idea to explore the lengths they may go to in order to keep their existance a secret in order to rebuild from the Time War. So I think the arc could go over several seasons with the Doctor being determined to keep it a secret and this could be where the tie in with episodes could come in with an another tightly nitted arc. Like he can go to places who think the Time Lords have returned or go to some races where they may know the location of Gallifrey and the Doctor has to do something about it.

A classic feel to the show would be a great addition with potentially longer stories which will add to character development and if the arc in the 14th Doctor's first season is about protecting Gallifrey then it could add to some very interesting character study with the darkness of the Doctor being more explored. There are many possibilities relating to Gallifrey's return yet I feel a dark storyline could be the best way to go in order to bring back the darker side of the Time Lords which has been explored previously in the show.
