Every Game of Thrones Spoiler We Know for Season 7
By Ani Bundel
One last stop in the North
The shoot at Linen Mills yielded a lot of useful info: we’ve already shown you pics of the actors behind Lyanna Mormont, Littlefinger, Sansa and Jon Snow all gathered there. And there were others. As you can see above, Gwendoline Christie was also on set, meaning Brienne likely returns to Winterfell from the Riverlands, where she was last seen trying to talk the Blackfish into lending Sansa his army.
Liam Cunninham (Davos) was also there, meaning he’ll spend some time at Winterfell, too.
There are a couple of minor characters first introduced in season 6 who will be coming back. For example, recognize the guy in the upper-left hand pic in this collage?
That’s actor Richard Rycroft, in costume as Maester Wolkan — he was the Bolton maester in season 6, the one Ramsay tasked with telling everyone that Roose Bolton was “poisoned by our enemies.” It looks like Jon and Sansa keep Maester Wolkan on at Winterfell. I’m sure he’ll prefer working for them to working for Ramsay.
You can also see Aidan Gillen in his Littlefinger outfit and Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) talking with Cunningham.
Finally, here’re a couple of snaps of actor Tim McInnerny (Lord Robett Glover) on set — he’s in the bottom two frames.
In season 6, Lord Glover refused Jon and Sansa when they asked for help fighting the Boltons, but still declared Jon Snow King in the North after Lyanna Mormont shamed him and the rest of the Northern Lords for their cowardice. Apparently, he’ll stick around to help Team Jon with their next steps.
What does this all mean? That Winterfell will be overflowing with people in season 7!
But not everyone will be there at the same time. Jon, in particular, will be away for much of the season. Let’s leave the North and check out some SPOILERS from other parts of Westeros.
