Are you are thinking Beric Dondarrion which will be his 3rd re-cast or “Priest, in his 40s or 50s. A gruff ex-soldier who found religion. Now a no-nonsense rural priest who ministers to the poor of the countryside. He’s salt-of-the-earth man who has weathered many battles.” Ian is 73!
I think it's the priest. Which is Septon Meribald...a conglomeration of Meribald and the old Brother from the Isle where the Hound ends up. He is in it for one episode, that matches the outlaw gang.That fits either Hound or Stoneheart. But then he pretty much said it was the Hound on the radio.
So yeah, the Hound is back.
Much as I would love it to be (and i didn't hear or read in full what he said) I think it's more likely not 
Well, I know how the Northern arc story goes. 
But not the riverlands story.

"UPDATE: In addition to his BBC Breakfast interview, Ian McShane appeared on Radio 5 Live today and pretty much straight up admitted who is coming back with his appearance."
Yeah, we know who's coming back. D

This thread expressly says spoilers in the title - I don't see th need for tags personally.
None of us know what's going to happen now, other than hints from indiscreet cast members Can't see the harm in speculating.
It's just plain old habit & politeness now None of us know what's going to happen now, other than hints from indiscreet cast members
Can't see the harm in speculating. (well, from me anyway 
Fair enough, Ali - old habits die hard
I'm not deliberately seeking out information ahead of the new series or next book, but neither am I actively avoiding it either. It's nice in a way that we're all equally in the dark now, readers and viewers, so can feel less constrained by inadvertently tipping off the other with spoilers.
Now if only GRRM would pull his bloody finger out....

king hell some people take it really seriously don't they! 
It's certainly a debate.
The trouble with Martin is he sort of bolted stuff on after the fact, he never created languages or lands, they came after the story, but then he is a screen writer and that's why his plot is so strong. That's his strength.
Tolkien created everything, everything from the bottom up; the world, it's creation, languages, peoples. Because he never intended it to be published, he just wanted to make a world.
I love 'em both now, and wouldn't really push either since they both have strengths/weaknesses.
Terry Pratchett is the third of that triumvirate that I would add to epic world-builder. He is different again.

Have you tried Steven Erikson's Malazan books? I read them whilst waiting for TWOW and really enjoyed them. If you can make it through the first book (which is highly confusing and took a lot of effort) the series is very rewarding and the scope is mind blowing.
