Game of Thrones Season 5 Spoilers: Sophie Turner Talks Sansa Stark, Littlefinger Relationship

The Season 5 premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones is just days away (Sunday, April 12, to be specific). One character of particular note to watch in the fifth season will be Sansa Stark, played by Sophie Turner.

When we last saw Sansa in Season 4, she finally decided to start playing the game and took on a much more assertive role with Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen). In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Turner previewed that relationship in the fifth season:

"What was surprising was reading comments and talking to people who suddenly started rooting for Littlefinger/Sansa romance.
It was so weird! That was really weird, actually. When the kiss happened, my Twitter exploded with 'Eww! that's disgusting!' And like the next day I got a ton of tweets going, 'Ohhhh, they should be together.' Aidan has a daughter who's like a year younger than me. Game of Thrones, they love that stuff. It was Sansa playing the game a bit more. I think they liked that because so far, she's been the weak vulnerable one. Then she came out in the outfit she knew was going to-I'm reluctant to say the word 'seduce,' but use it to manipulate Littlefinger. And they were like, 'Oh, she is actually playing the game,' which was fun."

Turner then talked about Sansa's love life.

"Who in the Thrones universe would make a good match for Sansa?
To be honest, Littlefinger. Not a match as in romantically, but as a duo they could be a real power duo. They have this weird balance and trust and distrust with each other, and she can somewhat manipulate him, and he can her. But romantically? I really don't know. There's not many great guys."

Finally, the actress offered a bit of a tease for her character in Season 5.

"You could say it's a dark season for her.
It's definitely a dark season for her. [MILD SPOILER ALERT] She just escaped King's Landing, and she goes back to a place where she becomes somewhat of a prisoner again. Despite being a prisoner again, she plays it out very differently this time compared to before. She tries to take command and begins to manipulate the people who are keeping her prisoner, which is nice."
