‘Games of Thrones’ Spoilers: Maisie Williams Teases Arya Stark’s Blind Fights, Says Jon Snow is Dead

"Games of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams recently opened up about her character, Arya Stark's blindness. Williams, 18, spoke with TVLine during Sunday night's Emmys Award Show about filming for season six.

"Arya may be fighting blind," Williams teased. "Exciting."

After Arya lost her eyesight in season five, viewers did not know if the blindness would carry over to the next season, but now, according to Williams, it seems like Arya will be blind for at least a while longer. In case viewers forget, Arya's sight was taken away from her as punishment for killing Ser Meryn Trant without permission.

Aside from talking about Arya's sight, Williams also cleared up rumors that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is alive.

"He's dead. Sorry," she said. "And the interview you've all read that thinks that Kit [Harington] spoiled it is fabricated."

Williams was talking about the interview claiming that Harington said he would still be in "Games of Thrones" when he is in his 30s. Since Harington is turning 29 at the end of the year, fans assumed this statement meant that his character is still alive. Even though Williams discredits this story, she does not explain why Harington has been spotted in Belfast. He was reportedly seen filming a fight battle and hanging out with Iwan Rheon, who plays Ramsay Bolton, on his free time.

Williams' co-star, Sophie Turner, who plays Arya's older sister, Sansa Stark, also spoke about Snow's death. Her answer, however, was more vague.

"I couldn't tell you cause I honestly have no idea myself," Turner, 19, said. "As far as I know, he was stabbed in the last episode that we saw him in and he was dead. So I'm going to stick with that."

Turner also teased that in this season, everyone throughout the world is starting to come together.

"Games of Thrones" season six will premiere some time next spring.
