SPOILER: GAME OF THRONES Set Vid Seems To Confirm The Return Of A Dead Character
And it's probably not the one you're expecting! We recently heard a rumor that a certain deceased main character would be making a comeback for season 6 of Game Of Thrones, and the following set vid would seem to confirm it. Warning: possible SPOILERS ahead...
So apparently that's Sean Bean swinging his sword in the video below. Sean Bean as in Ned Stark, as in the man who lost his head back in season 1. If this is accurate, it would appear that the rumor was true and the honorable-to-a-fault Stark patriarch will be returning for a flashback next year on Game Of Thrones.
spoiler alert and a confirmation #TowerofJoy

This was shot at Castillo de Zafra in Spain, which is rumored to be doubling for the Dornish Tower of Joy that held Ned's sister Lyanna up until her death at the conclusion of the war. The novels tell the story of Lord Eddard Stark and six of his companions (Howland Reed, Lord Willam Dustin, Ethan Glover, Martyn Cassel, Theo Wull, and Ser Mark Ryswell) approaching the tower in an attempt to rescue Lyanna, and engaging in battle with three members of the Kingsguard (Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Oswell Whent, and Lord Commander Gerold Hightower). Only Ned and Howland survive, the latter saving the former's life - which seems to be what's going on in the vid.
The prevailing theory is that this flashback will finally reveal the true parentage of Jon Snow, who is believed to be the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen, and not Ned's bastard at all.
Obviously it's difficult to make out at that distance, but what do you guys think? Is that Sean Bean?
