At the end of the fourth season of the hit HBO show, the youngest daughter of the Stark family, Arya (Maisie Williams), left Sandor Clegane (best known as The Hound, played by Rory McCann) to die alone in the middle of the road after fighting with Brienne of Tarth, but now there's a good chance that he'll be back for the "Game of Thrones" season 6.

By the time the "Game of Thrones" season 6 is released next spring, McCann will have been absent from the show for two years, and yet it's known that there are characters that return from the death, at least in the books.

According to The Huffington Post, rumors about The Hound's return to the show were fueled when McCann was spotted staying at the same Belfast hotel as the cast of the show, currently in the middle of filming the "Game of Thrones" season 6.

Fansite Watchers on the Wall reports that there are no current projects McCann is working on, so there's a fairly strong chance that he's on the "Game of Thrones" season 6, something that would require the series to deviate from its original source material, George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" books.

In any case, book readers have had a few theories about the return of the character, but Martin and the show's producers have already said that the two mediums might not necessarily follow the same route, so what happens in the "Game of Thrones" season 6 won't necessarily do so in the next books, "Winds of Winter" and "A Dream of Spring."

According to The Independent, there are a few other former cast members that may return this season, as Natalie Tena (Osha) and Art Parkinson (Rickon) are also seemingly around Belfast, and it's just too big a coincidence.

Let's just wait for more "Game of Thrones" season 6 news!
