Weissare not shy about killing off characters in their shows.
It was fun to go back to the old-fashioned joys of just killing off a really bad guy."
“It felt like it was balancing the scales a little,” Weiss said.
Benioff shared the sentiment about Bolton’s death.
“You don’t really see the death.
“What you do see isSophie [Turner]’s smile.
Sophie was so good.
When she got that shot, I felt like I can now die happy.”
Rheon toldEntertainment Weeklyin 2016 that he didn’t know Bolton’s death was coming when they started production.
“They joked, ‘Isn’t it great Ramsay ends up on the Iron Throne?’
As soon as they said that, I said, ‘He’s dead, isn’t he?'”
“I do think it’s just and it’s right,” he said.
“I’m glad it happens as a fan of the show.”
