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

Posted by Richard Atkinson on Monday, 28 September 2015

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?

Can't at all tell if it's Beanie, but it would be awesome if it was. It would be so cool to see him in an episode of something and not have him die.

I'm curious how much time they'll devote to this flashback/story.

I could see it being the prologue for this season. Like the prologue with the white walker to begin the series and the season four prologue with Tywin having "Two Swords" made from Ice.

DAMN. This is big. Basically confirms a whole lot of where the showrunners seem to be taking the story...not to mention George RR Martin and the direction he's taking the final books.

I'm game for having Sean back on the show, it's too bad we know he's destined to die though. At least he won't die in this episode.

It may be Ned Stark but that is certainly not Sean Bean. I would think it would be someone playing a young Sean Bean.

Ned Stark isn't going to look much different during a war that was supposed to take place about 17 years before the events of the show. If they do make him younger it'll be through digital trickery.

@Gusto - "I make myself look younger by
coating my body with mayonaise
every night when I get home."

Still no word from Hellman's or Kraft about a spokesman or endorsement deal??

All this mayonnaise talk is making me hungry for cake.

Gusto maybe you wouldn't have the restraining order if you weren't so emphatic about ham & mayonnaise:


And if you didn't use this line every time you saw multiple female Kraft & Hellman's employees:
“Uh-oh, is there enough room for some man-naise in this lady sandwich?”

And it didn't help you licked the mayonnaise off the sandwich this old lady found:

I can confirm Gusto's mayonnaise does wonders for the skin, provided you can get past the bleachy smell.

And it tastes great on bread too! Provided you can get past the salty...HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!!! >:(

Gotta be the Tower of Joy, where Rheagar kept Neds sister who was guarded by the Kings Guard.

So is it confirmed then that the Jon Snow theory is correct?

@McGee

You need to get some Sports Performance Utility Nutrition Kick!

It's not too expensive, but my guy gives me a great deal. It has an interesting/good unique bittersweet taste. Gives you an decent energy boost too.
