Number of episodes: 1

Character name: Talla Tarly

In Game of Thrones season 6, Samwell heads to the ancestral Tarly home of Home Hill, which he would have inherited had his father not railroaded him into becoming a member of the Night’s Watch. We get to meet more of his family, including his sister Talla Tarly, played by Rebecca Benson.

During season 7, we find out what happened to Talla. With the deaths of her father and brother Dickon, and Sam still a member of the Night’s Watch, Talla ends up inheriting the family home. However, we don’t get to see her in charge, which is a shame. It’s also a shame that we don’t get to see Talla and Gilly interact more, since they were clearly friendly with each other.

If you’re looking to see Benson in other roles, you’ll want to check out Flack on Amazon Prime Video. Benson plays Melody, the young intern who gets a sharp awakening to the world of celebrities and working in PR.

For those who love period dramas, Benson also played Margaret Plantagenet on The White Princess opposite Jodie Comer. The series is on STARZ. She has certainly made a big name for herself in a short space of time.
