Omitting her precluded some interesting dramatic possibilities. In any case, Stoneheart isn’t showing up, despite many theories and false starts over the years. Alex Graves, the director of the season 4 finale, has stated that bringing back Fairley for a “cameo” as a zombie on a killing spree made no sense to him. Martin has said that he was always in favor of the show sticking closer to the books in terms of the plot, and that the exclusion of Lady Stoneheart was the first major diversion.
So why didn’t Lady Stoneheart make the cut?Ībout this change, George R.R. Had Stoneheart made it to the screen, it’s easy to imagine the procession of “Hell Yeah” moments borne out of watching an actress of Michelle Fairley’s caliber take down characters who had caused our beloved Starks so much misery. The last we see in her the books, she is about to execute Brienne of Tarth on the assumption that she’s allied herself with the Lannisters. She becomes the leader of the Brotherhood, takes on the name Lady Stoneheart, and sets out on her mission. He resurrects Catelyn, but at the cost of his own life. Catelyn, now disfigured and almost zombie-like, is consumed by vengeance towards everyone she feels has wronged her family, most immediately the Freys. They turn out to be the Brotherhood Without Banners, led by Berric Dondarrion, who came back to life in front of Arya Stark who, on the show, goes north of the Wall with Jon Snow.īeric doesn’t get that far on paper. The wolf flees as she hears the approach of humans. In the books, she is dragged from the waters by Nymeria, the direwolf. In the show, Catelyn Stark’s story ends abruptly at the Red Wedding, and her body tossed in the river. Easily the best-known of these is the story of Lady Stoneheart. For example, in the books, Jaime Lannister goes to Riverrun before his sister’s Walk of Shame, while on the show he goes after. At other times, entire plotlines from the books are dropped. Sometimes the differences are relatively small. It’s well-known that HBO’s Game of Thrones deviates greatly from its source material, George R.R. By Amulya Chintaluri 3 years ago Follow Tweet
