Last weekend’s new episode of Game of Thrones saw the death of a character that shocked a large number of people in the fandom.
Now, the actor/actress is discussing the death (spoiler warning).
It was Irri, who’s played by Amrita Acharia, who was killed off.
Select highlights from the interview by Winter Is Coming:
FaB: If you could have chosen any other way to have your character die, what would it be?
AA: Strangulation wasn’t a bad way to go – but I believe its going to be more dramatic if and when the killer is revealed! My ideal death scene would probably involve being catapulted out of a ten storey building, mainly for the adrenaline high.
FaB: Speaking of surprises, there seemed to be a lot of people reading into Irri and Rakharo’s “relationship” even before there was one. The “rabbit and duck” scene in the “Lord Snow” episode drew a pretty intense amount of interest and speculation. Was a mutual attraction between Irri and Rakharo ever discussed with the writers? How did it all play out?

The rabbit and duck scene was a lot of fun because she gets to be such a stroppy woman in it and its pretty obvious she fancies the hell out of Rakharo!
Were you surprised by Irri’s death?
