Season 6 General Speculation v9

* He implied that the producers listened to fans input about Sansa and that she will get a more commanding role and that her character will evolve in a satisfying way.

* The Riverrun storyline will have way more action that it had in the books. One of the guys in the podcast also says that the shot from the trailer where an army shoots a lot of arrows are Lannister guys. And he is right, if you check carefully they have a Lannister flag, so this might be from the siege of Riverrun.

* Yara will visit a place that has not visited in the books (I remember there was a rumor that she was going to Volantis, so this could be it). Javi said it was an “exotic” place and that he was really surprised when he learnt about it. And the kissing scene involving her will end up in sex.

* The scene that looks like a group of women stabing someone are actually children and this is the Epilogue of A Dance with Dragons. He said this is confirmed but that the scene will play different compared to the books.

* The scene of the Dothrakis charging in what looks like a battle was filmed in Almeria and that it will happen by the end of the season.

* A main character will die and he said he was completely shocked when he learned about this particular character fate because it will be unexpected.

Still, Allen says season six might top them all.

“In terms of epicness yes, there’s definitely something towards the end of the season which is going to blow people’s minds. You’re going to love it,” Allen told The New Daily.

“In series five there was a running theme of characters you wouldn’t expect to cross paths crossing paths so there’s more of that.”

While Allen can’t offer any insight as to whether Theon survives season six (he blames “HBO snipers”), he says the new season will have “more of a Greyjoy presence”.

“We’ve got an actor called Pilou Asbæk from a show called Borgen and he plays my uncle … there’s a scene I’m very much looking forward to.”

Speaking of family, Allen possesses enviable showbiz pedigree – his father is seasoned actor Keith Allen and his sister is singer Lily Allen.

In 2006, Lily penned a song about her brother titled Alfie that painted her younger brother in a less-than-flattering light.

Asked about the track – which includes lyrics like, “I can’t sit back and watch you waste your life away / You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid” – Allen is surprisingly upbeat.

“I was in Canada teaching kids how to snowboard so I think she just missed me,” he explains.
