Watch Sansa and Theon on the run in a new Season 6 clip
By Dan Selcke
Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Iwan Rheon (Theon Greyjoy), and Michael McElhatton (Roose Bolton) stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! and debuted a new clip from Game of Thrones Season 6. The is actually a direct continuation of a clip HBO already released—like, the Kimmel clip picks up a half second after the HBO clip ends. We’re re-embedded the HBO clip first, so you can get an idea of the full scene.
Here is: Sansa and Theon run like hell from Ramsay’s hounds.

Jimmy Kimmel: “I don’t think any clips have been seen from the show.” Well, no, but thanks for trying.
Anyway, I’d stake my life that these clips are from the Season 6 premiere. Between clips and interviews, we have a good idea of how this whole sequence will play out. Aflie Allen previously talked about what happens to Sansa and Theon immediately after this.
As we’ve guessed before, Sansa and Theon are heading into the river to throw Ramsay’s hounds off their scent. Ironically, this is the same tactic Osha, Hodor, Bran, and Rickon used to evade Theon back in Season 2 when they were trying to escape Winterfell. Funny how things come full circle. There’s a physicality to this sequence that’s very urgent. Sansa’s having to suck it up and take the plunge in a way she usually doesn’t.
Allen, Rheon, and McElhatton also shared some talk show banter with Kimmel.
Rheon is getting out there in the press today—in addition to appearing on Kimmel, he stopped by ABC News (apparently, Ramsay will get up to some “horrible behavior and real disgraceful stuff” in Season 6, which I’m sure will surprise no one) and gave a lengthier interview to The New York Times where he talked about being “the most hated man on TV.”
Rheon predictably keeps pretty mum about what’s coming, but he does reveal something surprising: apparently, Ramsay will show a little emotion when he discovers the death of Myranda, his mistress. We last saw her tumbling off one of the Winterfell ramparts and landing with a splat on the pavement.
Good times.
“That surprised even me,” Rheon said.
I can see how that might be surprising, but then again, Ramsay and Myranda did seem to have a stable relationship last season. I mean, they were very disturbed people, but they seemed to be comfortable around each other. According to showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, “[t]he spark of humanity that Iwan occasionally provides makes all the other stuff that much more terrifying.” It seems they’re writing to that.
