Williams, who plays Arya Stark, has claimed that Jon Snow is definitely dead, despite reports and speculation that the character will return in season six. | |
Talking to Absolute Radio’s Christian O’Connell on his breakfast show, she said: “All the time people are asking me if Jon Snow is alive and the answer is no! He’s dead! I promise.” | |

The last season ended with a few cliffhangers, but the most shocking storyline was Snow, played by Kit Harington, being “killed off”. He was shown apparently dead in the blood-stained snow after being stabbed by fellow members of the Night’s Watch. | |
Snow’s demise was not well-received by fans, and his character’s fate has been much debated. | |
The fact that Harington did not immediately cut his long hair shorter – and visited Belfast, where the show is filmed – prompted speculation that he was preparing to shoot more episodes. | |
Recent reports suggest there have been “sightings” of the actor while they film the sixth series. | |
Mail Online published photographs last Friday of Harington apparently on set in Belfast | |

As to what is in store for the rest of the cast, she said: “I’m aware of the other storylines – we’re given the full script at the beginning of each season so we can read ahead – I always flick through my story first, the suspense is too much. I have to see what I’m up to first and then what other people are up to but it’s never the same as seeing on screen – it’s nice to watch and get the full effect.” | As to what is in store for the rest of the cast, she said: “I’m aware of the other storylines – we’re given the full script at the beginning of each season so we can read ahead – I always flick through my story first, the suspense is too much.

Williams, who was born in Bristol, is to guest star in Doctor Who later this year. | |
The actor was in Cardiff to film her part in the new series of the long-running BBC sci-fi show. | |
She said: “I’m so excited to be working on Doctor Who as it’s such a big and important part of British culture. I can’t wait to meet the cast and crew and start filming, especially as we’ll be shooting not too far from my home town.” | |
It has not yet been revealed which part she will play, but Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat said: “She is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways. | |
“This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.” | “This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.” |
