Readers of the “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series can no longer spoil major plot points in the “Game of Thrones” HBO series since George R.R. Martin has regretfully announced that he will not be able to publish "The Winds of Winter" before the new season airs. But the show regulars just might with some accidental slip of the tongues and behind-the-scene tales as we count down the long wait before the show finally comes back in April.
Filming for the upcoming season has wrapped up and that means the actors involved are now on their merry way doing promo tours and interviews for other projects they have on their belts. In the case of Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell, her guesting on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” may have revealed more than she intended about a co-star whom everyone has been wondering will return or not.
It is, of course, HBO's worst-kept secret that Kit Harrington's ill-fated character, Jon Snow, will be returning to the Night's Watch one way or another when “Game of Thrones” returns. But with no official confirmation and only a cryptic teaser poster for season six, sightings of him in Ireland while sporting his long locks as clues, fans can still only speculate.
Although his co-stars, like rumored real-life girlfriend Emilia Clarke, have not been officially told of his character's fate, and the show's producer, Michael Lombardo, said that Jon Snow is definitely dead, Dormer's slip points to another direction.
According to Dormer, although she plays one of the major characters on the show, even she tries to stay clear of spoilers by only reading parts of the script that she appears in.
However, even this plan did not help because she manages to bump into her co-actors in the makeup and costume room as they get ready for filming each morning.
She shared in the interview on Kimmel's couch that one morning, she happened to bump into a certain co-star and exclaimed, “What are you doing here? Oh my God, you're back?! I've got to leave.”
Although she never actually named which co-star in particular she was referring to, heck, maybe she was referring to Margaery's now dead and blue and universally hated ex-husband, King Joffrey. But we would place bets that no other character on the show would elicit quite a response than the revelation of Jon Snow most definitely not dead and returning.
Is Jon Snow alive? We know nothing, but it seems that Natalie Dormer may know something.
