7 Abandoned Game Of Thrones Plotlines
5. Gendry
Former blacksmith, bastard son of Robert Baratheon, and undoubtedly an Olympic-level rower at this stage. We first met Gendry towards the end of Season 1 when he joined Arya Stark as a potential new Night's Watch recruit. After escaping from Harrenhal they found themselves in the custody of the Brotherhood Without Banners with Melisandre arriving soon after to take Gendry back to Dragonstone for some sexy leech shenanigans. When Davos takes pity on the lad and frees him, he sticks him in a boat and instructs him to make his way back to King's Landing. That's the last we see of him.
It's hard to know what's in store for Gendry because none of this ever actually happens in the books at all. When Arya is taken by the Hound, Gendry stays with the Brotherhood and presumably remains with them even after they get some new, undead leadership. It's always possible that he'll make his way back to them somehow and reappear if and when they do, but it would be interesting to see what role any of them would play in the final few seasons now that we know Lady Stoneheart (more about her next) won't be a factor.
