This new fan theory is heating up. Last time we saw Gendry Baratheon on Game of Thrones, he was stealing away to King's Landing on a rowboat in Season 3 (even though he'd never rowed before and doesn't know how to swim...yikes). We haven't seen him since but we might have the chance again soon.
Joe Dempsey, who plays Gendry in the show, was recently spotted at the airport in Belfast, the city where much of GoT filming takes place. According to Thrones fan site Watchers on the Wall, the actor doesn't seem to be linked to any other projects that would lead him to the Irish city.

HBO has yet to confirm or comment on his return, but fans are already eating up the theory. Many hope Baratheon will reunite with his Season 2 travel buddy and rumored love interest Arya Stark (who is currently on her way home to Winterfell after leaving Braavos).
If Gendry is returning to the show, it would be an interesting time for his reappearance. The Seven Kingdoms have seen a lot of shakeups in power since his departure—including King Tommen's death and Cersei's appointment as Queen in the Season 6 finale—and will probably experience even more in the future, with Daenerys sailing for King's Landing and Jon Snow's confirmed Targaryen lineage. As the former King Robert Baratheon's illegitimate son, Gendry is ineligible for the crown, but he still has royal blood in him, which could lead him into danger. Back in Season 3, the red priestess Melisandre tried to sacrifice him to the Lord of Light, but Ser Davos saved him, sending him away to safety via rowboat.
No matter what Gendry's roll will be in the upcoming season (if he even shows up), it would be nice to see this character again.
