MAJOR Game of Thrones Spoiler Revealed: Which Fan Favorite Will Be Returning to the Show?

Last season on Game of Thrones fans were disappointed when a beloved character didn't return to exact some seriously badass revenge. (Obviously, spoilers lie ahead.)

Many expected an appearance from Lady Stoneheart - a zombified version of Catelyn Stark who reappears in the books in order to avenge her slaughtered and displaced family.

As you probably know, Lady Catelyn was murdered in brutal fashion at the Red Wedding, but in George R.R. Martin's world of White Walkers and three-eyed ravens, the line between the lands of the living and the dead occasionally becomes blurred.

Lena Headey hinted at Catelyn's return on Instagram, leaving fans pissed off about a spoiler that turned out to not be a spoiler at all. 

Shortly thereafter, actress Michelle Fairley revealed in an interview that she and Catelyn Stark would not be returning to Game of Thrones.

It was a bummer of a bombshell for fans of Martin's books who were looking forward to Stoneheart's creepy debut. But now it looks like we might be seeing some sweet zombie justice, after all.

Fairley's IMDB page now says the actress will be returning to GoT as a character currently listed as "Hooded Woman."

It's possibly it's just a prank, or that Fairley will return in flashback form (Although, if that was the case wouldn't her character be listed as "Catelyn Stark?"), but in even event, the news has piqued fan interest even more than the Game of Thrones season 5 trailer that leaked last week.

7 Game of Thrones Scenes That Are Tough to Watch

1.Bran's Winterfell Fall

When a lovable kid gets paralyzed early in the story, you know the guy telling tale isn't gonna spare your feelings.

2.The Beheading of Ned Stark

Ned Stark was setup as the protagonist and moral center of the story. Then out of nowhere, he lost his head.

3.The Death of Khal Drogo

Khal Drogo was another good guy we were sure would be in it for the long haul. Instead, we all learned a valuable lesson about disinfecting cuts and scrapes.

4.The Red Wedding

Yeesh...we're beginning to think someone named Stark picked on GRRM in grade school and this whole story is one long revenge fantasy.

5.Theon Loses His "Favorite Toy"

This is another one where we'd prefer not to go into detail: Theon gets his junk cut off and we hit fast forward when this scene comes up in reruns. Granted, he's not the greatest guy, but what happened to him reeks.

6.The Mountain Kills The Red Viper

You just had to get cocky, didn't you Oberyn?

7....And Tyrion is Found Guilty

Not only did Oberyn get himself killed while trying to avenge his sister, he also got Tyrion sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit! Justice is hard to come by in Westeros, yet we keep hoping for a hapopy ending.

The End.
