I find almost certain that King Lot will have a plotline (minor or major). He was mentioned in the hunter's heart and the sword in the stone, the last episodes of series 4, so he must have something to do with next series. My theory is that he will form an alliance with Morgana. He gets betrayed and killed by her, and his kingdom is hers. Then she won't try to conquer Camelot again, only destroy it. She could also try to cause harm to Hunith or Ealdor in general, so that she would force Merlin to come out. Since she was a lonely witch this year, I think it's logical for her to become a warlord next year, so that she poses an even bigger threat.
