Speaking of that death scene with Sansa…yes, THAT one…
Iwan Rheon really should get some kind of award for his acting during Game of Thrones. Ramsay Bolton isn’t an easy character to play, but Iwan totally nailed it. His character was finally, blessedly killed off in the end of season six, and it was so, so satisfying.
Iwan Rheon has gone on to be cast as the leading role in a new Marvel series, so don’t worry, we’ll be seeing lots more of his awesome acting. It’s called Inhumans, and it’ll premiere in November of next year (2018) on ABC.

Satisfying death scenes are one thing, but difficult death scenes are another. Kerry Ingram played Shireen Baratheon, the beloved daughter of Stannis Baratheon who had been disfigured from a bout of greyscale when she was a baby. Shireen is one of the purest, gentlest characters on Game of Thrones, and her death in Season 5 was one of the hardest things to watch in TV history.
The actress herself is having a pretty good time, though. She’s gone on to star in a Netflix original show called Free Rein. It’s going to premier sometime later in 2017.
