‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Spoilers: Davos Liam Cunningham Talks Stannis & ‘24: Live Another Day’ Michelle Fairley On Catelyn Stark Return From Death

When we last left Game of Thrones, the one true King, Stannis Baratheon was building an army and he has Ser Davos Seaworth to thank for that. Recently Liam Cunningham is opening up about what is in store for his character in Season 5. Meanwhile, Michelle Fairley has spoken about the possible Catelyn Stark following the death of the character on 24: Live Another Day.

POPSUGAR recently caught up with Stannis Baratheon right hand man, Davos, A.K.A. Liam Cunningham, where he opened up about the popularity of his character:

“I know he's a point-of-view character and so on. If we were making a movie I would have read it-- I think. But I like the rollout of this, the fact that we're shooting season by season, and in a sense, it helps me as an actor to not know what's coming next; I deal with the problems that we have when we're given the scripts. Obviously I know season to season, but I don't really follow that, or want that. It takes the spontaneity out of it, and I don't want to be playing what's two books ahead; I don't want to be trying to clever about it. I want things to be surprising to me. Charles Dance and Peter [Dinklage] haven't read them either.”

He went on to tease some of what is store for Stannis and his army in the new season:

“Well George said a really interesting thing; I saw an interview where he was asked about Stannis. And he said what's interesting, what has changed in Stannis' thinking about everything, is from wanting to be king and saving the realm, it's now the other way around. It's now saving the realm that will make him king, so there's been a 180 in the thinking, in a sense. So it'll be interesting where this goes. We're right up north of Westeros, and obviously we have our eye on King's Landing, but we've got get south, so it will be interesting, what I presume will be that journey to get south, and what happens along the way.”

Meanwhile, Michelle Fairley, recently spoke to TV Guide about the rumored return of her character Catelyn Stark to the series:

“Catelyn Stark is dead, I'm afraid. I'm sorry to say it, but she's dead. George [R.R. Martin] has written incredible novels, and David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] are doing a wonderful job of distilling those books into 10 hours and making a fantastic television series. But there's stuff along the way that has to go--you can't put everything that's in the book on the screen. There are sacrifices to be made along the way. Unfortunately, people might be expecting one thing, but it doesn't happen. It's life.”
