The suspense is killing: Is he out, is he in? HBO's hit epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones' much loved character Jon Snow was killed off last season and the backlash from fans was unprecedented.

From keeping a watch on the length of his hair to asking the producers to confirm if he's actually dead, the fans have tried everything. And then came the bad news: We were told "he is deader than dead" and most of us made peace with his absence in the next season.

There is now a ray of hope. Kit Harington was spotted in Belfast recently where the latest season of the series is being shot. He was chased down by Watchers on the Wall, a fan website dedicated to the show.

Harington was sporting a fabulous man-bun, another clue towards his return, walking out of the airport with Tom Wlaschiha (Jaqen H’ghar).

As expected, conspiracy theorists have been working overtime since then. Some say he's there to play *SPOILERS!* the 'corpse role' after the stabbing on which the last season ended, a la Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) in season 5. Many hopefuls feel he's returning for good... as a White Walker maybe?

Watch this space for more, because at this point we are more or less like Jon Snow himself...
