What's better than the triumphant return of Bran Stark to Game of Thrones? The fact that he'll be joined by nine other characters who have been gone for at least one season. The show is packed with so many people that it must be borderline impossible to fit them all into one season, so it makes sense that some take center stage while others bow out for awhile. Having said that, we're stoked that these 10 people are coming back. Note that these are only the characters confirmed to be returning, not those who are rumored to reappear — like The Hound. Check it out, and get caught up on all the characters from the books who will finally turn up on the show.
