Game Of Thrones Season 7: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

5. Gendry (And Hot Pie)

It's this year's worst kept secret that Gendry will be returning to the show, and it's about time too: he's been a dangling (or rowing) plot thread since the end of Season 3, and they couldn't get to the end of the series without addressing it.

Given how long we've waited for him to return, there'd be a real sense of irony if they did kill him off straight away, but it'd also be a massive waste. He's potentially a great warrior, has a wonderful chemistry with Arya Stark, and should now get the chance to make up for lost time and play a big part in what remains of the show.

Hot Pie, well, his return is less certain, but it'd certainly fit - especially with the likes of Nymeria and Gendry probably returning too - and if that does happen, well, he won't die. There's no real logical reason for that, since he doesn't seem to serve the narrative much, but it's difficult to see the show really killing him off if he did make a return.

Prediction: Lives and - if he returns - also lives.
