Game of Thrones is a highly eventful show from week to week, so it’s no surprise that Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) isn’t too thrilled when insiders or fans leak critical plot points.
Talking to Radio Times, Maisie emphatically expressed: “It hurts. It’s just like, oh we wanted to tell this story, and yeah, lots of people don’t want to read it, and don’t want to look at it. But then it’s even more annoying when you know [the leaks] might be from someone on the inside, and it’s just like… you’re trying to make something really cool, that is really cool, and people really like, and it’s like ‘stop ruining it’. It’s such a childish, annoying thing to do. And yeah, it’s sad. It really annoys me. I don’t know if that’s unexpected, that I’d be like ‘Oh, I don’t really mind!’ People still watch it, but it does really grind my gears.”
