AceShowbiz - We may not need leaked episodes of "Game of Thrones" season 6 to find out what happens to our beloved characters earlier. Star Alfie Allen surprisingly revealed the fate of his character Theon Greyjoy and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) in the season premiere.
"At the beginning of (season) six, you find him running through snowy, freezing forests leading the way with Sansa. They've just jumped off the wall of Winterfell and now they're on the run from Ramsay," he told the press in Los Angeles. The scene, however, has been predicted since it was previewed in the trailer.
But what Allen said next contained more spoilers. Describing a scene which he and Turner had to shoot on a river, he shared, "Everywhere, all the trees, it's all done with this amazing snow. [SPOILER ALERT!] And we're running through and we come to a river and Sansa is just too scared basically to get into the river. So I get in. Don't believe the press shots!" He added, "It looks like she's trying to get me out of the river, when I'm actually trying to be the strong one and get her in the river. Makes me look weak. Haha."
Asked if Theon would sacrifice himself for Sansa, Allen answered, "He sacrifices himself, because I guess he hasn't really got much worth or meaning for himself in the world anymore. And so he leads them away - or rather that's what he's trying to do."
He went on revealing that Gwendoline Christie's Brienne of Tarth eventually came to the rescue. "In fact he doesn't lead them away, because they see Sansa anyway and then Gwendoline Christie turns up as Brienne of Tarth and smashes everyone to s**t," he dished on. "Dan Portman's there - Pod - and then Pod ends up having a fight with this guy and then Theon stabs the guy in the back with the sword. He kills someone for the first time in ages, which must be a gratifying experience."
"Game of Thrones" season 6 premieres on HBO on April 24.
