Maisie Williams confirms Rickon’s ‘Game of Thrones’ return

Williams said she was becoming comfortable with wearing more revealing outfits on the red carpet – but wanted to go at her “own pace”.

Rickon Stark last appeared in season 3 wherein they were in an abandoned mill to escape a thunderstorm.

But when she suddenly realised she might face the wrath of the showrunners for letting the spoiler slip, she added: “Oh no, I’m literally going to go off the air and someone’s going to email me!”

After Ramsay killed his adoptive father, Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton), the loyalty of House Umber is expected to change as well.

“Now wait a second”.

Are you excited for Rickon’s return? We don’t blame you for forgetting that particular leaf on the Stark family tree.

We saw Bran once again in the last episode, who brought us to flashbacks through his visions with the Three-Eyed Raven.

When a fan asked her if baby brother Rickon Stark would be reappearing in Season 6, Williams answered: “Yes, maybe”, which is basically the same as saying he’ll be taking over the Northern storylines this Sunday.

Where is Rickon Stark? Some believe that this gift may actually be Rickon Stark himself, which will help Ramsay keep his contentious hold over Winterfell, especially after Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) fled with Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen). During the ninth episode “The Rains Of Castamere, ” Bran asked Osha to take Ricken to be with the Umber family, who are loyal to the North and the Starks. He probably shouldn’t expect for Rickon to be so little anymore, of course. Along with the characters we have seen pop back in during Season 6, word on the street says well also get an appearance from the Hound sometime during the new season. Given what he’s lived through in his short life already, it would be a surprise if he wasn’t painting his room black and writing bad poetry.
