‘Game of Thrones’ Spoilers and News Update: Maisie Williams Reveals the Return of A Character

Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams, who plays the role of the feisty Arya Stark has made a big reveal.

She has confirmed in a recent interview that fans will witness the comeback of a very important member of the Stark family.

When asked by fans about the return of Rickon Stark, Arya accepted that it was likely that Rickon would return. This could prove to be a crucial twist to the plot. Rickon Stark, who is the youngest of the Stark children, has been missing in action since Season 3, Episode 9. In the monstrous episode named "The Red Wedding," Bran sent Rickon, OSHA and Shaggydog to the Last Hearth. Bran knew of the Umbers and believed them to be Stark's allies.

House Umbers is one of the northern families that supported and fought by Robb Stark in the War of the Five Kings. Reports suggest that Rickon is being protected by the Umbers.

Rickon has never been given as much importance as the other members of the Stark family. However, it is being speculated that he would be returning as a central character in the near future. The Stark family, ever since the beheading of Ned Stark has been subjected to separation and ill fate. The younger siblings have managed to survive but have been through a hellish experience needless to say.

There are a couple of fan theories that suggest that the return of Rickon Stark. Moreover, speculations that the comeback could be soon, are based on the cues from the trailer of the latest episode "The Oathbreaker". The preview shows members from The House Umber travelling to visit the heinous Ramsey Bolton. Putting two and two together, it could be an indication of them changing their loyalty to Ramsey. A gift is mentioned by the Umbers. However, with Sansa Stark on the run, the only plausible gift to be offered could be the youngest member of the Stark family.

We can only keep our fingers crossed that the Stark's reunite soon and fight against Ramsey.
