11 former 'Game of Thrones' stars who want to return to the show

The INSIDER Summary:

• This is a world where we've seen multiple characters be brought back from the dead. 

WARNING: Spoilers for seasons 1 - 6 ahead.

With a show as tight-lipped about plot details getting out as Game of Thrones is, the wait between seasons can be incredibly frustrating, as you vacillate between wanting to know absolutely nothing, and wanting to look up every single fan theory and potential GoT spoiler you can lay your hands on. Or at least, that's the way it is for me, which is why I've put together a list of 11 former Game of Thrones stars who want to return to the show. It's right in the sweet spot of things I want to know but that don't ruin anything for me, because these aren't characters who definitely will be coming back for Season 7, just actors who would leap at the chance, if it was offered.

Many of them are alive, but some of them are dead as well, but I've included them here because, hey, this is Game of Thrones we're talking about, and death doesn't necessarily mean the end of the line. For one thing, there's always the potential that we could see a character again through flashbacks, like Ned Stark, for example, and actual undead characters like the Night's King, but this is also a world where we've seen multiple characters be brought back from death, like Beric Dondarrion and, most recently, Jon Snow. So it's really anybody's game as far as character resurrection, and here's a list of the actors who are up for it, along with a little wink-wink and a nudge-nudge for co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

1. Pedro Pascal

Pascal played Oberyn Martell on the show, who met his bloody end at the hands — literally — of The Mountain in Season 4, but would do almost anything to come back, telling Vulture in 2015:

"There isn't anything negative I could say about the experience of Game of Thrones. It was ideal in every sense. I would have loved for it to have gone on longer, but I got so much out of the brief time that I was there."

And when the interviewer suggests that perhaps we'll see the Red Viper in one of Bran's flashbacks, he says, "Wouldn't that be wonderful? I would be a leaf on that tree! I don't care! I love those guys." Dare to dream!

2. Miltos Yerolemou

You might remember this English actor as Syrio Forel, Arya Stark's old combat instructor. It seemed as though he was killed in King's Landing in Season 1, but without follow-up, we can't be sure. Especially because when many speculated that the shadow of his character had been spotted during a Season 6 episode, Yerolemou fueled the conspiracy theories with a cryptic tweet.Many took this as confirmation that Syrio Forel is back, but at the very least, it seems to suggest that Miltos Yerolemou is down for a return. After all, what do we say to the God of Death? (Not today!)

3. Thomas Brodie-Sangster

It was a huge bummer when Brodie-Sangster's character Jojen Reed was killed off in Season 4, but no one is more hopeful than the actor himself about a possible return, jokingly telling Good Morning Britainin 2015, "No one knows what goes in that show. It would be fun and I had a great time doing it. It's a fun show to be a part of."
