"Game of Thrones" season 7 is shaping up to be an exciting one for fans, as production continues in Ireland. The show is returning for its penultimate season next year and production remains tight-lipped on what's to expect this upcoming season.
The latest rumors to surface around "Game of Thrones" season 7, however, is the return of Gendry Baratheon, played by Joe Dempsie. Fans previously saw him fleeing following Melisandre's attempt at killing him off as a sacrifice for the Lord of Light. Since then, viewers haven't seen him, but that doesn't mean he isn't coming back with a vengeance.
In fact, the latest rumors surrounding "Game of Thrones" season 7 is that Gendry will return and claim the Iron Throne for himself. Dempsie was recently spotted in a Belfast airport, and hardcore "GoT" fans know that production often films in the city. Moreover, some fans have a theory that Gendry will make his way back into the arms of Arya Stark, who is rumored to be his paramour. Fans would remember that Arya was heading back to Winterfell following her meeting with the Many-Faced God in Braavos.
If Gendry is set to return in "Game of Thrones" season 7, it would mean that he may become a key player in the battle to obtain the Iron Throne. Of course, there's also Daenerys Targaryen who's got her eyes on the throne as well. It's definitely going to be an exciting season on "GoT" when it returns next year.
Meanwhile, the latest behind the scenes scoop comes from "Game of Thrones" season 7's very own Mother of Dragons, Emilia Clarke. The Huffington Post reports that the social media savvy actress took to Instagram to share her plight in Northern Ireland, where she was met with strong rains and wind. The actress wrote about how she wanted a waterproof dragon in the midst of the terrible weather she and the cast and crew were experiencing.
