Sam and Gilly finally turned up in Season 6 during Oathbreaker, with a brief-but-nice check-in on the couple as they made the journey to Oldtown, via the Tarly home at Horn Hill.

Sam's family, or more accurately his father, have had a huge bearing on his character: it's why he took the black, and why he was, at the start, such a cowardly person.

Seeing what his family is like is going to be interesting, especially for Randyll, who is supposed to be one of the most feared and respected battle commanders in all of Westeros, and it'll be fun to see how he - along with Sam's brother, mother, and sister - react to their son turning up with a woman and baby in tow.
