Fans are still hoping for the return of this long-lost character on ‘Game of Thrones’

Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you’re not caught up with Sunday’s “Game of Thrones.”

Sunday’s episode of “Game of Thrones” reunited viewers with several characters we haven’t seen in a while. There was the return of Bronn (Jerome Flynn) and Blackfish Tully (Clive Russell). Fans also were treated to a big reveal — Sandor Cleagane, better known as the Hound, made his return to the series Sunday evening.

He was left to die in season four after going to battle with Brienne of Tarth.

With so many character returns on the show, it wasn’t enough for many fans on Sunday who were hoping we may get to see one other long-lost fan favorite.

We’re talking about Gendry, the last known living bastard son of King Robert Baratheon, who has a better claim to the throne than Tommen.
