'Game of Thrones' Season 6 News, Update: Actress Maisie Williams Speaks About Jon Snow's Death and Arya's Blindness
There's so much to look forward to in the next season of HBO's popular TV drama series "Game of Thrones." Perhaps one of such issues could involve the real score on Jon Snow's (Kit Harrington) apparent death from the hands of his brothers in the Wall.
Actress Maisie Williams, who plays the vengeful character Arya Stark, recently spoke about the tragic events of Season 5 finale.
For one, there's the death of her Arya's half-brother. She admits that she was "heartbroken" to see the new Lord Commander go.
"People are really hurt by it, but that's what this show does," the young actress told People magazine. "If you haven't learned that by now, well, I can't help you."
When probed further by the host if there could be any possibility that he'd come back in any form whatsoever, this is how she replied:
"We saw him stabbed in the chest, like I think it's pretty clear … Well, if that's what makes you feel better then yeah, there's hope."
Numerous theories surrounding the event suggest that Jon's death could only be temporary and that the plotline involving the Watchers on the Wall and the Wildlings would be set aside to give way for other arcs like that of Bran's return as well as the whereabouts of Rickon.
Williams meanwhile spoke about Arya's blindness, of whether or not she would be sightless in the forthcoming season.
"I haven't got the new scripts yet," the 18-year-old said. "I'm guessing she would still be blind. But I'm hoping that she'd still be a total bad-ass even when she's still blind."
"Game of Thrones" Season 6 is slated to return on HBO in spring 2016.
