Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Most Important Returning Characters

3. Bran/Meera/Hodor

Bran's back. Isaac Hempstead-Wright confirmed to the Irish Examiner: "I can€™t say a lot but I am back this season, and it€™s going to get particularly interesting with Bran. He has some interesting visions." He'll almost certainly be learning to hone his powers alongside the Three-Eyed Raven, but quite what that means in the grand scheme of the story is anybody's guess. The only thing we can assume is that the pay-off will be huge. Bran's return means Meera Reed will return to the fold, and walking, talking (sort of...) gentle giant Hodor will once again assume the role of 'Lord Piggyback'.
