What’s more, Sophie also revealed during an appearance at the weekend’s San Diego Comic-con that Sansa will be transformed into “game-player”; coincidentally as she becomes closer to the venomous Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen).
“He’s a good accessory”, she toldEntertainment Tonight when asked about bringing him along on the red carpet.
For the past year, much has been made in the press about the tension rising between Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow, his adopted sister Sansa Stark, and that shadowy spider in the corner, Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish. “I can relate.” While going through her teens while working on the show was hard, the British actress will always be grateful for the role as it taught her more than she ever would have done at drama school. “We don’t talk about it”.
Turner’s tone got very mischievous when she said “when you play the game of thrones“, which is significant.
During her interview with EW, Turner shared how she – and by extension, Sansa – perceives Jon in the midst of the growing sibling rivalry between the Stark children.
In the one-minute clip, Melisandre (Carice Van Houten) returns to tell the Mother of Dragons: “I believe you have a role to play – as does another“.
‘So they just, they didn’t tell her. I was like, ‘Oh, when’s Ed Sheeran coming on the show?’ I told her by accident! I was kind of mad because I’ve been talking about [Justin] Bieber coming on the show for a while now.

She said: “I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it”. “Ed Sheeran is a hero!” No one slay Ed Sheeran! Most intriguing of all were Turner’s comments about Jon Snow’s clash with Sansa over leadership of The North in Season 7. I think Sheeran did a lovely job – he’s a lovely actor and a lovely person. After nine years working on the programme, Sophie – who is dating Joe Jonas – feels a deep connection to her alter ego from the fantasy drama series and can “relate” to her.
