She said, "There were a lot of tears. I think as an actor it was really satisfying to be able to act out the way that it all ends. But who knows if it will be satisfying for the fans. I think a lot of them will be disappointed while the rest will be over the moon."

Sophie added that it will be really interesting to see the audience's  reactions. However, she confessed, "For me, reading the script was heartbreaking. The very final page of the script says, ‘End of Game of Thrones’ which was really emotional."

Sophie continued that saying goodbye to her character was very "bittersweet". She shared, "Every year I would plan six to eight months of my time to be dedicated to work - sometimes X-Men and the other times Game of Thrones. Now, I have all this free time to take up different projects that would normally take as much time to film as my last projects."

I'm getting a ton more scripts, which is fueling my passion for acting. But of course, it’s hard to say goodbye, especially to Game of Thrones. I’ve been on it for nearly a decade so it’s definitely difficult to let it go," she concluded.
