First seen on the set wearing all black, leaked photos can now confirm that a fan-favorite character from Game of Thrones is indeed filming new scenes for Season 6. Last seen on the show betrayed and lying with a blank, lifeless stare, many fans were heartbroken to see this character's time on the show seemingly over. But was it really the end?
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones Season 6 if you dare read any further.
But good news, Sibel Kekilli was spotted on the set of the hit HBO show in Peniscola by Game of Thrones leak source DragonsandDirewolves. She, of course, played none other than Shae, who betrayed Tyrion Lannister when he was on trial for the murder of Joffrey Baratheon, and then in a crime of passion and revenge, was herself betrayed, strangled and murdered by “her Lion” in Season 4.

Although the character of Shae was quite different and arguably more developed in the series than the version of her in George R.R. Martin's Books, the relationship between her and Tyrion brought on some of the sweetest moments in the otherwise bloody show, which made her demise at the hands of the man who loved her all the more sorrowful. Set photos leaked by the Spanish Twitter account, Todo Peñiscola, show Kekilli in costume and on the set beside Conleth Hill who plays Varys, as well as show producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss.

Book-savvy Game of Thrones fans are speculating [Spoiler warning!!] that Shae's sudden reappearance on the show is probably not a case of magical resurrection, but possibly a hallucination being suffered by Tyrion when famine hits Meereen.
While set photos also confirm that another character who was thought left for dead in Season 5 is back for filming, no word yet if Kit Harington was on the set for flashbacks or if he was rescued from the snow where he lay dying after being betrayed by his brothers in the Night's Watch.
