Game Of Thrones Season 7: 10 Huge Shocks That Could Happen

10. Gendry Returns... And Is Killed Within Minutes

Game Of Thrones Gendry Miss Me

It's almost a certainty that Gendry will turn up before Game Of Thrones is through: he's just too much of a loose end for it not to happen and the way his arc was set up seemed to suggest his royal blood would ultimately come back into play at some point.

But what if this hugely anticipated return goes the way of Rattleshirt's big entrance? What if George RR Martin and HBO do the most Game Of Thrones thing possible and have the hype around his return immediately stomped into the dirt when he's killed off comically, devastatingly quickly without actually rerailing any storylines at all?

Doesn't that just sound like the kind of thing they'd do - you know, just to absolutely f*ck with you?
