Gendry Rivers/Baratheon has been rumoured to be returning in Game of Thrones season 7 for a while now, and an IMDb credit suggests it could well happen in episode 5, ‘Eastwatch’.
Robert died, Stannis died, Renly died and even the Lannisters posing as Baratheons – Joffrey and Tommen – are now no more.
The above isn’t reason enough to bring his character back but his lineage is: Gendry is the only human left alive in Westeros who has Baratheon blood.
Game of Thrones continues on HBO, Sky Atlantic and through NOWTV on Sunday nights.
