This may be hard to hear, but someone needs to say it: Game of Thrones has finished filming forever and there’s nothing any of us can do about it. Feel better? Yeah, me either. But just because the show is over doesn’t mean the cast members’ careers are slowing down.

Take Maisie Williams (Arya Stark); she’s just begun a month-long run in a play, I and You, at the Hampstead Theater in London. Williams plays Caroline, a sick, housebound teenager. “Confined to her room, she has only Instagram and Facebook for company. That is until classmate Anthony (Zach Wyatt) bursts in – uninvited and armed with waffle fries, a scruffy copy of Walt Whitman’s poetry and a school project due in the next day.”
On Thursday night, Williams’ on-screen brothers Richard Madden (Robb Stark) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) showed up to support their kid sister, and the photos smacked me upside the feels:
The emotions; they burn.

You think Harington and Madden were competing to see who was the most photogenic King in the North?

John Bradley-West (Samwell Tarly) was also on hand. Sam is pretty much an honorary Stark, so this totally counts as a family photo:
And now one with just the fellas:
I and You will run through Saturday, November 24.
Moving on, according to Metro UK, Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) has a new boyfriend. She made the announcement obliquely on her Instagram, in the modern fashion:
Apparently, those two shadows in the bottom right corner are Clarke and writer-director Charlie McDowell (The One I Love) having a little smooch sesh. McDowell uploaded the same photo to his Instagram:
Notice the tire tracks in the sand? They drove onto this beach. Are we focusing on the wrong thing?
Finally, Variety reports that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) is shooting a movie called Suicide Tourist in Norway. The film is described as a “mystery drama with romantic elements.” Coster-Waldau plays Max, an insurance adjuster investigating a disappearance. “The trail leads him to a uniquely secretive hotel that offers its guests elaborate assistance in fulfilling their fantasy suicides. Caught in his own existential crisis, Max begins to question his perception of reality and wonders if death is the only way out of the hotel.” We’re sure the romantic elements are coming in any moment now.
For his part, Coster-Waldau is excited to be working “on a truly original, thrilling and moving love story.” There’s that “love” angle again. “We are halfway through the shoot,. And my enthusiasm has only increased seeing the set design, the work by our DP Niels and my fellow actors.”
Suicide Tourist should be ready for release in the spring of 2019. It also stars Game of Thrones alum Robert Aramayo, who played Young Ned Stark in seasons 6 and 7. Meme-makers: do something with that.
