Rory McCann as The Hound was nowhere to be seen in season five...

***WARNING: SPOILERS*** (if you haven't seen season 5 finale that is)

Some of the apparent deaths which took place during the last couple of seasons of HBO hit Game of Thrones may not follow through to season six if cast shots on location are to be heeded.

Last month images of Kit Harrington, whose character Jon Snow apparently died a bloody death thanks to mutiny, apparently filming in Belfast emerged, reigniting speculation that Jon Snow lives after all.

And now Sandor Clegane aka The Hound, who also appeared to die by the hand of Brienne of Tarth at the end of season 4 has been spotted back with the cast.
