Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner)
Sansa got some brutal revenge on her rapist and torturer, Ramsay Bolton, by feeding him to his hounds. Jon promised she would lead as the Lady of Winterfell, but then when Jon was nearly unanimously declared King of the North, Sansa seemed a little bit miffed. Littlefinger was also miffed, especially considering his offer to have her lead by his side if he were to take the throne...

Arya Stark (Maisie Williams)
Arya—now fully trained as a Faceless Man—was last seen getting the ultimate revenge on Walder Frey (David Bradley) by making his sons into meat pie, serving him that meat pie, and then slitting his throat.

Bran Stark and Meera Reed (Isaac Hempstead-Wright and Ellie Kendrick)
When we last saw them, Meera and Bran, the new three-eyed raven, had just made it to the wall. Bran then had a very crucial vision that revealed that Jon Snow was actually the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.

Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
Cersei's now the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, all thanks to the consequences of her decision to have the Great Sept blown up instead of attending her trial.

Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
Jaime is currently in the midst of a personal crisis, forced to come to grips with his own morality when Walder Frey compared himself to Jaime, and then realizing what Cersei had done for power. He got back to King's Landing just in time to see his sister lover become the Queen, and he did not seem happy about it.
Brienne of Tarth
When last we saw Brienne of Tarth, she was waving goodbye to Jaime and rowing away with Podrick (Daniel Portman) after Jaime took Riverrun, and her plans to get the Blackfish to help Sansa had failed.

Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen)
After coming to the rescue of the North in the battle of the bastards, Littlefinger had one goal: to sit on the Iron Throne with Sansa as his queen. She's not such a fan of that idea.

Melisandre (Carice Van Houten)
Davos forced the witch to admit to Jon that she had murdered Shireen, and while Davos begged Jon to have her executed, Jon decided to just exile her from the North. The last time we saw her, she was riding south.

Yara and Theon Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan and Alfie Allen)
The Greyjoys made a deal with Daenerys that they would pledge loyalty and ships to her, if she would allow the Iron Islands to keep their independence and to help defeat their brother, Euron. Dany agreed...as long as the Ironborn stop raping and pillaging. Yara was reluctant, but eventually she also agreed, and so the Greyjoy troops joined the Dothraki and the Unsullied in heading to Westeros.
The High Septon, Tommen, and Margaery
All dead, thanks to Cersei. She plotted to blow up the Sept, which contained the High Sparrow and Margaery, and when Tommen saw what happened, he killed himself, leaving his mother to take the throne.

Lady Olenna (Diana Rigg)
After Cersei's extremely bulls--t move of blowing up the sept, killing Margaery, Lady Olenna was out for justice. Ellaria Sand promised she would get that justice by aligning herself and the Tyrells with Dorne and Daenerys Targaryen, so that's exactly what she did.

Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek)
This asshole still thinks he's gonna marry Daenerys Targaryen, but he doesn't yet know that his niece and nephew got to her first and she agreed to help them defeat their evil uncle. That'll be fun!

We haven't seen Gendry since he rowed away at the end of season three, but the secret son of Robert Baratheon has to come back sometime, right?
