Stars Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Maisie Williams (Arya
Stark) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) walked the
carpet at Los Angeles' TCL Chinese Theatre but Kit Harrington,
who plays Snow, was a notable no-show.
Snow appeared to be killed off at the end of season five of the
popular drama based on novels by George R.R. Martin but HBO sent
fans into a frenzy last year when it tweeted a season six teaser
poster with a shot of his bloody face.
"Listen, my only reply is the man's had about 25 knives in his
chest - how much steel does he need to have in his body to be
confirmed dead? He's dead, dead as a doornail," Liam Cunningham,
who plays Davos Seaworth, told Reuters.
"It's so sad. He's gone, gone ... Such a shame. Such a nice
young man," added Iwan Rheon, who plays Ramsay Bolton.
The fifth season finale, which saw Snow stabbed repeatedly and
appearing to bleed to death, drew the show's largest U.S.
audience with some 8.1 million viewers, according to reports.
It is also the point that Martin's books have reached, so not
hint there.
Coster-Waldau said Snow's demise was yet to be properly seen by
fans: "It's going to be interesting to see when people find out
what happened, how dead he is. He's dead. Dead, dead."
"Do you know what? I don't know. I just ... well, whatever
anyone else has said is exactly what we're... he's gone. We saw
him die, we saw it happen," Clarke replied when asked about
Snow.
While cast members kept tight-lipped about the storyline, one
element of the new series however has been revealed -- the
female characters will be fighting back.
"If anyone thought the dudes had it going on, this season will
change their minds," Clarke said. "Yes, we're bringing the
fire."
"Game of Thrones" season six premieres on April 24 on HBO.
