HBO's Game of Thrones (GoT) Season 5 might have already ended weeks ago, but the GoT fever is still on. The series' latest updates includes casting and director news, as well as possible story plots and spoilers. Meanwhile, actress Emilia Clark who plays Daenerys Targaryen, recently revealed the "valley girl" persona she adopts when out and about in the U.S.
On Tuesday, UK's The Week compiled a list of items to expect from Game of Thrones season 6. The list includes new characters, based on casting calls, that may be joining the series. This includes Red priestess Kinvara and a pirate-like character described as "cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness". Vanity Fair's Joanna Robinson says the pirate is "definitely everyone's favorite eye-patch-wearing uncle, Euron Greyjoy, aka Crow's Eye" from the books.
Game of Thrones Season 6 will also have five directors, each handling two episodes, reports Time. Three are GoT veterans namely Jeremy Podeswa, Mark Mylod and Miguel Sapochnik. The two newcomers are Daniel Sackheim who previously worked on Miami Vice, The X-Files and House; and Jack Bender, best known for directing 38 episodes of Lost.
There are a lot of speculation surrounding Season 6's storyline, but none could be more popular than the character Jon Snow's resurrection. Jon's death in Game of Thrones Season 5 is one of the most devastating scenes for the series. Fans are thinking Melissandre's appearance at the Wall could signify a potential resurrection for the character. British actress Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen, also thinks that there's a "50/50 chance." Clarke told MTV she had "no idea what's happening", but added: "If I had to bet, I'd say there's like a 50/50 chance. There's some very helpful people there who could bring him on back to life."
And while Emilia Clarke is not playing her Daenerys Targaryen character and flying on dragons, the British star is also playing a "valley girl" when she goes out and is trying to avoid fans. Clarke revealed her "valley girl accent" during Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, reports Us Weekly. The star has even given her Californian alter-ego a name - "Callie from the Valley."
Clarke's valley girl accent was impressive when she did a sample of it during the show. When asked where her inspiration for her "Callie from the Valley" voice came from, Clarke replied, "I, like, love Clueless!"
