Game of Thrones Season 5 Spoilers: New Characters Will Meet Each Other

Season 5 of HBO's Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday, and fans are eagerly anticipating more adventures in Westeros. And by all accounts, this should be a fantastic season.

The "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online has some information on the new season.

"Eric: I need scoop on Game of Thrones. I don't want it, I need it!
Get ready for one intense season...in just a few days! Winter is coming...and so are some long-awaited reunions! 'The big thing is, we're past the halfway point of this story, and we're getting closer to the end of Game of Thrones,' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau tells me. 'The stakes have always been high but they're getting higher and some of the major characters that haven't met before will meet. It's very exciting.'"

In related news, Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, previewed the relationship between Sansa and Little Finer in the fifth season in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:

"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."
