We still have to wait a pretty (read: really) long time for the final season of Game of Thrones but, thankfully, the cast has been dropping a few hints to keep us going.
The latest of which comes straight from Sophie Turner, who revealed that reading the final episode of the series was “a shock to the system,” simultaneously revealing that her character, Sansa Stark, lives ’til the end of the show.
“At the end of the very last script, they read aloud, ‘End of Game of Thrones,‘” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
“As soon as they read that out, pretty much everyone burst into tears. There was a standing ovation for [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss]. We were all clapping and cheering. It was amazing.”
“We actually realised, reading that ‘End of Game of Thrones‘ line, that that was it. When you’re in it, you don’t really see an end point. It’s just an ongoing thing you’re living with,” Sophie continued.
“It was a real shock. It was really sad, but there was an immense amount of pride, too.”
The actress also revealed that, like us, the cast have “discussions about theories about what we think is going to happen – who’s going to die, who’s going to end up ruling.”
“Now, we know. It almost feels like another one of our theories. It doesn’t even feel like it’s what’s actually happening. It’s very satisfying.”
