10 Abandoned Game Of Thrones Plot Threads We Really Miss
8. Gendry
Fans have been pointing this one out for a while, but we still have absolutely no idea where Gendry is. Bastard son of King Robert Baratheon and one of Arya's only friends, Gendry was last seen leaving Dragonstone on a small rowboat in Season 3. The Brotherhood Without Banners had turned him over to Melisandre, who used him in a ritual because he has king's blood in him. Davos Seaworth smuggled him away, presumably so Gendry could make his way back to King's Landing.
But that was nearly two full seasons ago.
Where is he? The show has barely even acknowledged him since then, with the closest being Davos saying "We don't have Robert's bastard anymore" in this week's episode. It makes sense that Arya wouldn't run into him, since she's off in her own corner of the world right now, but Gendry was headed towards King's Landing, one of the most frequently visited places in the show.
If he's there, can't we just have a brief scene checking in on him? The last thing Gendry said to Davos was that he doesn't know how to swim, so if we don't see him soon, it's hard not to just assume he never made it back.
