Working on one of the biggest television shows on the planet apparently has its downsides.
Game of Thrones is known for its affinity for killing off key characters as much as it is for the complex characters and storylines, but having to endure the deaths of so many of their fellow characters means the cast have become desensitised when an actor leaves the show.

Speaking to GQ, Sophie Turner, who plays the tortured Sansa Stark, said that there are so many deaths they stopped having leaving parties.

She said: "There's always a lot of drinks at the bar [after a death]. But by now we're so used to it. We used to have big things when other people died. But there's so many people who die now, we're like, 'Can't really afford it, man. We've been out every night.'"
To add to the party pooper mood she also said every day the cast try to predict who may die next, admitting that she herself is "so terrified" when flicking through her scripts.
"It's crazy. Almost every day we're on set we're like, 'Who do you think is gonna go next?' It's almost like living in the Blair Witch Project."
Sounds fun.
