Richard Madden has announced that will be a very important death in season 5 and that "good people never survive in game of thrones". Now I'm afraid about that, who do you think will be the character that will die?
Hi!
Oh, yes, I read that interview (if anyone is interested, you can find it here!), and I have a little theory about it :P
BOOK SPOILERS
Ok, so, his exact words are:
"I do know of a death that’s going to happen in Season 5 that you’re not going to see coming,” Even though Madden, who played Robb Stark for the first three season of "Thrones," knows this big spoiler about Season 5, he says he tries to avoid learning what’s coming up in the new episodes — which is apparently hard when you’re friends with Kit Harington.When Season 4 was shooting, Harington would repeatedly try to spoil plot points of the show for Madden, and some times even tell him lies. It appears the man who plays Jon Snow is continuing to ruin the show for his friend, because Madden says Harington spoils things for him “all the f***ing time.”
Considering that reference about Kit spoiling some big surprises for him, and the fact that (iirc) Richard hasn’t read the books, I feel like he was actually talking about Jon’s (attempted?) murder at the end of ADwD.
It’s shocking (it was maybe the most shocking death scene for me after Catelyn’s in the RW and Oberyn’s), and since Jon will be put in a position of power, people won’t think he’s in trouble; moreover, if they do it like in the books, as a cliffhanger, it will happen in episode 10, not the more traditionally shocking episode 9 (though that changed last season). Jon is obviously one of the good guys from the beginning, one of the heroes, a fan favourite, so I get why Richard would thing it’s a big deal (it is a big deal!). And that also relates to the “good people never survive in game of thrones” bit —particularly because we fan books are more or less unanimous in thinking that Jon will survive, but maybe show watchers won’t.
Just my two cents!
