New Game of Thrones character could mean a comeback for the show’s most hated family

Don't call it a comeback.

Carl Kinsella

When it comes to deaths on Game of Thrones, it can be hard to decide whose was most painful…

However, nothing has ever produced the same level of shock that was seen on social media after the Red Wedding claimed the lives of Robb Stark, his wife, his mother and his unborn child all at once.

It was that incident which cemented Walder Frey and his sons as Public Enemy Number One for anybody spends too much time thinking about Westeros.

Of course, it seemed as though Arya Stark avenged her family and wiped out the Frey line in the opening scene of Season 7, but fans of the show now suspect the Freys might be on their way back.

According to fansite Watchers On The Wall, Irish actress Danielle Galligan is set to play a character called Sarra in the show’s upcoming eighth season. The only known mention of a Sarra in the A Song Of Ice And Fire book series is Sarra Frey, a granddaughter of the hated Walder Frey.

Whether or not this means Westeros’ mostd-despised family will get one last hurrah in the show remains to be seen… All we really know is that we can’t wait for it to return.
