They mentioned it and it happened offscreen? That seems like a weird choice.
He is in play in the books, right?
Yes, he's still in play in the books. But they also killed Stannis offscreen on the show, and I don't think he's going to pop up.
The one thing that has been consistent this season is that they're trying to tie up loose ends, and they don't really care how. The Bronn thing was lame, Ghost is gone, etc.. It seems to me the last thing they'd want to do is revive a plot thread or character who appears to be dead, to no real purpose. As @godfather said, D&D just want the damn thing to be over.
