Those Game of Thrones writers really are evil geniuses.
The fear of impending death/the dole queue is never far away from the show’s stars, with the actor who plays Jon Snow revealing that the writers regularly throw fake death scenes into the scripts to keep them on their toes.
Kit Harington says that nobody feels safe because they have no idea if they’re going to make it to the end of every season.
He explained: “We all flip through the scripts when we get them to see if we live or die, but the writers are very cruel; they sometimes write fake scenes to kill someone off and then that actor will be kind of out of a job and scared.
“People caught on to this… so now no one knows whether they actually die or not; you read it and go, ‘Is this a joke or do I actually die?’
Harington, as quoted by Contactmusic.com, refused to comment on whether he’d be slayed come the end of the show’s fourth season.
“I can’t tell you. I could be out of a job right now.”
This, meanwhile, is a fair point…
@JOEdotie maybe they could just read the books..
