    During an episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the showrunners discussed their favorite character deaths. “With ‘Thrones’, there was so much killing of good guys, and we finally got to really kill both Joffrey in season four and Ramsay Bolton in season six. It was fun to go back to the old-fashioned joys of just killing off a really bad guy. It felt like it was balancing the scales a little,” Weiss said.

    Joffrey had been portrayed by Jack Gleeson and he met his demise after drinking poisoned wine that is orchestrated by Lady Olenna Tyrell and Lord Petyr Baelish. Conversely, Ramsay has been played by Iwan Rheon who faced his end when Jon Snow defeated him in combat and he was devoured by his own hounds while Sansa that is portrayed by Sophie Turner.

    Benioff expressed his satisfaction with Turner’s performance during the scene where Sansa watches Ramsay’s demise. “For me, at the end of Battle of Bastards when Sophie sticks the hounds on the Bastard; she doesn’t walk away. You don’t really see the death. You see some of it in the background, but you don’t really see the death. But what you do see is Sophie or Sansa’s smile,” he recalled.

    Benioff mentioned it was a challenging one-shot scene that required several takes until Turner nailed it. “It was just that feeling of that’s so epic. Sophie was so good. When she got that shot, I felt like I can now die happy,” he added. Currently, Weiss and Benioff are promoting their new Netflix series, “3 Body Problem,” a collaboration with Alexander Woo.
