Game of Thrones characters we’d love to see return from the dead…and some we wouldn’t

Let him stay dead — Olly

Just look at this kid. How do you not get angry looking at that sneer? Taken in by Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch after his family was murdered by Tormund and the wildlings Jon later pardoned, Olly earned the ire of fans everywhere by killing two beloved characters. Seeing this kid return for season 8 would drive us up a wall, possibly the Wall.

Fans first raised their eyebrows at Olly when he killed Ygritte at the Battle of Castle Black. Even if we hated that it happened, we didn’t initially blame Olly, as the kid was just fighting an enemy, one who had participated in the slaughter of his village. One season later, Olly was back at it, this time joining the mutineers at Castle Black and murdering Jon Snow. We expected that kind of behavior from Alliser Thorne, but after everything Jon had done for Olly, his participation came as a shock.

Olly’s final sin was his lack of repentance. Even after Jon rose from the dead, the boy never asked for forgiveness or appeared the least bit remorseful. He may have been taken advantage of by older folk, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to feel sorry for him in his final moments. %#@^ Olly.
