Gemma Whelan has confirmed that her character Yara Greyjoy will be returning to “Game of Thrones” Season 6 and that she will be filming her scenes in Northern Ireland soon. The actress revealed that the first thing she did after getting the script of “Game of Thrones” Season 6 was to quickly scan through the pages to see if her character was dead. “Am I dead? Am I dead? Am I dead? It’s the first thing you look for,” she said. Along with Yara, Game of Thrones also has plans to bring back Hodor, and word on the street has it that Tyrion’s ex, Shae, The Hound, and even a younger version of Ned Stark will appear in Game of Thrones next season.
