Sophie Turner says that Sansa Stark is going to be a "player" in the upcoming fifth season of Game of Thrones.

The actress reassured fans of the fantasy drama who have been frustrated by her passive alter ego in the past that things will now be changing for Sansa, as she grows stronger in the new batch of episodes.
She said "Let's just say after this series there should be a lot more Sansa fans.
"It'll be really nice when people start to accept she's not just a stupid girl.
"She started off very vulnerable but she has learnt a lot and will transform from being a chess piece to a player."
The show has been criticised for the amount of nude scenes, but Sophie believes both the sex and violence are essential to the plots.
She told Look magazine: "There's violence and there's sex - I think it's necessary to show it.
"Women in those times didn't have a huge amount of power, so they had to use what they had to manipulate men.
"But it's not just the women who strip off - there's more male nudity than in any other show. I don't want to see any more willies!"
