Pic: Game of Thrones star spotted in Belfast, suggesting major character may not be dead after all (Spoiler alert)

The plot thickens

We did our best not to reveal the name of the character in the headline, for the benefit of those of who you haven’t caught up yet.

Those of you up to date will know well that we’re talking about Jon Snow, whose death in the final episode of Season Five just about broke fans of the show who have struggled to deal with the deaths of a series of popular characters throughout.

Filming for Season Six is getting underway in Belfast at the moment and Kit Harington, the man who plays Jon Snow, is either in the north on holiday or he is going to play some role in the next season, whatever that may be.

Game of Thrones fan site Watchers on the Wall posted this tweet and mentioned that Harington has been declining fan requests for pictures, which is quite understandable under the circumstances.

It could be the case, of course, that he simply misses the guys really terribly and is hoping to hang around the set for as long as he can before being told to get over himself and move on.

Until the show returns, we know nothing about the fate about Jon Snow.
