I didn’t know what was coming up, I purposely didn’t ask any of the guys that I know that are still involved what was going to be happening. "So with every passing year, it goes a little bit in the back of your mind, you concentrate on other stuff, you’re working on other jobs at the time, and when the show comes out, you sit down and watch it as a fan which is great in itself. There are probably inevitably going to be a loose end or two that are left untied. There’s such a huge story that those two guys are trying to tell, and they can’t leave room for every storyline and every character. They’d expressed a desire to bring him back, that was the plan, but you’re always conscious that plans can change at any given time. So initially, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t going to be a part of my life anymore for the foreseeable future, but I didn’t know when the character was supposed to come back.
"When Season 3 finished and I was told by David and Dan Gendry was going to disappear for a while, I think initially you’re a little bit put out because you have such a good time making that show. HBO Like us viewers, Dempsie didn't even know how long Gendry would be gone.
So he's working away, but he's waiting for someone to show him what his purpose is gonna be, to get out of Flea Bottom and back out into the big, wide world and have a part to play in whatever it is that's coming. He doesn't really know what he's been biding his time for, but I think having had a window into the wider world on his travels with Arya in previous seasons and then being told by Melisandre about his true lineage, Gendry's eyes have been opened to a more exciting life than the one he was used to. He's trying to get rid of as much of his hair as he can, because that thick black Baratheon hair is the main signifier, and he's just been laying low and biding his time. "In the recent past, Gendry's been hiding in plain sight a little bit. This is what Gendry's been up to since we last saw him: He even picks up a new bromance with fellow "bastard" Jon Snow on the way up to the Wall.īefore his long-awaited return aired, GoT star Joe Dempsie talked to about reprising his beloved character, how Gendry affects the fight for the throne, and whether a romance with Arya is actually possible. But his old friend Davos locates him and invites him to join a much more meaningful cause: fighting the Army of the Dead. Ironically, however, he's forging weapons for the Lannisters-who killed his father and plotted to kill him, too. In "Eastwatch," we find him as a blacksmith on the Street of Steel in Flea Bottom (his and Davos's hometown). Seeing Gendry onscreen again is arguably up there in Game of Thrones' rare satisfying moments, along with watching Sansa kill Ramsay Bolton and realizing the R+L=J theory is true. Four seasons, countless memes, and several return theories later, Gendry is finally back.

The last time we saw the late King Robert Baratheon’s bastard, he was rowing into the abyss in Season 3 (without knowing how to swim), following Ser Davos' advice to flee Dragonstone and the red priestess Melisandre, who seduced him to leech his blood for a ritual.
