SDCC 2016: Sophie Turner Talks Sansa “Secret”
In one of the key episodes of Game of Thrones Season 06, Sansa Stark, played by Sophie Turner, held a key truth from her “brother” Jon Snow in the episode “The Battle of the Bastards”.
Mainly, she didn’t share a key tactic in regards to their forces, she had reinforcements at the ready in the Knights of Vale, but failed to share that info with Jon. At a panel during SDCC, she was asked about why Sansa took this gambit with him. She was curious about it herself apparently, but then replied:
“She wanted all the credit,” Turner noted, “It makes for a more dramatic moment when they show up and it makes for better television.”
When asked whether Sansa believes Jon Snow is right for the Iron Throne, “She believes [the victory over Ramsay] was more a joint effort,” Turner said. “They should be King and Queen of the North. I’m not sure about the Iron Throne.”
“She thinks Jon doesn’t have the intellect, the knowledge, or the experience that she has. And I concur,” Turner concluded. “He has wonderful morals.”
