Which is possible. Or since they made his escape from the Twins, perhaps he goes from there to wherever it is he will be in the books?
I dunno about the other. He isn't Stark or even northern born, regardless of his relation through marriage and his fealty to Robb.
No, the GoW is northern born, a Stark bannerman of old, and someone who knows Winterfell very well.
I don't much like Blackfish for his prejudice and ignorance against Jon, so I could be biased.
The whole prejudice against bastards is tiresome and ignorant and it annoys me whenever I read some character bemoaning the lack of character in bastards. Ramsay is a sociopath but not because he was born a bastard.
Still, being a bastard is a major theme and demands attention...even bastard swords. (Jon, Long Claw Sansa/Alayne, Daemon Blackfyre, Blackfyre, Bittersteel, Brynden Rivers, Gendry, Ramsay, etc.)
Even Cersei's children are/were bastards, of sorts - for she and Jaime were not married and their conception was treason.
Some people think it Harwin or Reed or one of the Glovers (Galbart/Robett). Some think it Theon's imagination.
I like to think the GoW is real...or real enough. Course, who it is in the books may not be who it is on the show. If the character even makes it to the show.
