Warning: Spoilers for this week's episode of "Game of Thrones"
In Sunday's episode of "Game of Thrones," Sansa Stark was married to the psychotic Ramsay Bolton who savagely attacked her in their bedroom on their wedding night. What's worse is that Ramsay forced Theon, the Stark's ward since both characters were young, to watch. Several viewers have expressed their displeasure with the scene online but Sansa herself, actress Sophie Turner, has a different opinion.
"When I read that scene, I kinda loved it," Turner told Entertainment Weekly. "I love the way Ramsay had Theon watching. It was all so messed up. It's also so daunting for me to do it. I've been making [producer Bryan Cogman] feel so bad for writing that scene: 'I can't believe you're doing this to me!' But I secretly loved it."
Turner peels back the layers of the scene to explain why she liked it from a creative standpoint.
"Last season [Thrones director] Alex Graves decided to give me hints. He was saying, 'You get a love interest next season.' And I was all, 'I actually get a love interest!' So I get the scripts and I was so excited and I was flicking through and then I was like, 'Aw, are you kidding me!?' I thought the love interest was going to be like Jaime Lannister or somebody who would take care of me. But then I found out it was Ramsay and I'm back at Winterfell. I love the fact she's back home reclaiming what's hers. But at the same time she's being held prisoner in her own home. When I got the scripts, it was bit like, dude, I felt so bad for her. But I also felt excited because it was so sick, and being reunited with Theon too, and seeing how their relationship plays out. Theon's a member of the Stark clan but she thinks he totally betrayed and killed her brothers. It's a messed-up relationship between them."
