'Game of Thrones' Season 6 News: Lord Baelish Turns A New Leaf

Another familiar face returned in the most recent episode of "Game Of Thrones."

Fans got to see Aidan Gillen's character, Little Finger also known as Lord Baelish, in "Book of Stranger." Lord Baelish was last seen in season 5 when he brought Sansa Stark played by Sophie Turner Ramsay Snow played. Fans were angered by his decision to do so knowing that the Ramsay who's going to mistreat her.

With that, Gillen shared some insight about his character's sentiments regarding Sansa Stark. He said that his character did make a mistake when he left her to Ramsay. He said, "For me, this time out, there's a level of atonement in relation to Sansa and my misjudgment of Ramsay Bolton. A lot of what I'm up to is atonement and really trying to align myself the right people – though, I guess, I'm always doing that! I left Sansa married to a psychopath. It's probably the one time we've seen Littlefinger slip up. He really didn't know about him. He should have."

In addition, he teased that his encounter with her will play a major part in his character's development. He explained that there is a chance that Littlefinger could be turning a new leaf in the upcoming episodes of the series.

According to Entertainment Weekly, he said, "I'd like to think that's what was happening. Ultimately, it always seems to be about him. He's good at fooling people. If he had to, he'd fool himself too. I'd love to think his actions were not purely self serving."

Fans will have to wait and see just what Lord Baelish has in store for the upcoming episodes of "Game of Thrones." Meanwhile, the synopsis for episode 5 read, "Tyrion seeks a strange ally; Bran learns a great deal; Brienne goes on a mission; Arya gets a chance to prove herself."
