Emilia Clarke Is the First Game of Thrones Cast Member to Admit Jon Snow Might Return

Season 5 chatter you’ll know that when it comes to the shocking death and possible return of Jon Snow, the cast and crew of the HBO series have been presenting a pretty unified front. Read between the lines of various interviews and you’ll find the underlying message is, “Jon Snow is dead. He’s not coming back. Get over it.” Or at least that

the message until this new interview with actress Emilia Clarke. She’s always been a rebel, that Khaleesi.

While talking to MTV’s Josh Horowitz about Kit Harington’s departure, Clarke said that the show-runners keep secrets from her because, “They know that I can’t lie very well.” So we can maybe believe her when she says, “I can, with all honesty, say I have no idea what’s happening.” She could have left it there and still been pretty much on message, but those weren’t Clarke’s final words on the fate of the Lord Commander. Like the rest of us, Clarke noticed that Melisandre’s hasty return to the Wall was

convenient. If we need someone with magical, resurrecting powers, well, the red priestess is probably our girl. Clarke pegs Jon/Kit’s chances of returning as “50/50” and, so far, that’s the most optimistic message we’ve heard from the

camp. We can take all of this with a grain of salt and the information that Clarke, like Jon Snow, knows nothing. Still, this crack in the HBO defenses is enough to keep hope alive.
