Game of Thrones: Not Even Kit Harington Knew About That Stark Reunion At First

Harington had no idea that his Game of Thrones character, Jon Snow, would be reuniting with his long-lost sister Sansa (Sophie Turner) in last Sunday's episode, director Dan Sackheim tells TVGuide.com.

Just like everyone had to keep the secret of whether Jon Snow was alive or not, you're requested not to talk about the material in front of the actors until they see the script.

Without saying anything, the scene says so much about the Stark siblings' relationship and everything they've been put through since leaving Winterfell in Season 1, which is exactly what Sackheim wanted.

At the end of the day, you handle any scene like, 'What's the truth?' And in that case, the truth was these two people are coming together that love each other but have been estranged, and you try to find some active things for people to play.
