'Game Of Thrones' Actor On Making His Long-Awaited Return | News Flash | Entertainment Weekly

Gendry is done rowing! The long-missing Game of Thrones character returned Sunday night after a three-season absence — and it’s not just for a cameo. The bastard-turned-blacksmith has a major role to play this year. Gendry (Joe Dempsie) has joined Jon Snow’s dangerous quest North of the Wall to capture a wight and bring it back as proof of the Army of the Dead. “We’ve always expected to bring Gendry back since we saw him rowing out,” writer Dave Hill says. “We almost brought him back in season 6 and it didn’t quite work out. We definitely wanted him here for the big mission, and we wanted Robert Baratheon’s bastard son back into the show. It made sense that Davos would want to save this boy who’s like a surrogate son. And Joe is great — which is a big positive.”
