There had even been constant hints by those in the show of her imminent return, when Cersei herself (Lena Headey) posted a pic on Instagram, of a series in rocks in - yep, you guessed it - the shape of a heart.
But from the sounds of it, no matter how much we might want it, it doesn't look like this is a plot-line we'll be getting, as Martin continued:
"In my version of the story, Catelyn Stark is re-imbued with a kind of life and becomes this vengeful wight who galvanises a group of people around her and is trying to exact her revenge on the Riverlands. David and Dan made a decision not to go in that direction in their story, pursuing other threads. But both of them are equally valid, I think, because Catelyn Stark is a fictional character and she doesn’t exist. You can tell either story about her."
In other Martin/GoT news, he took to his Livejournal account this weekend to put to rest all of those rumours about his next chapter in the Games story, titled The Winds Of Winter, which folk have been saying is either (A) Completely finished but he's sitting on for some nefarious reason, or (B) He hasn't even started writing yet:
"Both ‘reports’ are equally false and equally moronic. I am still working on it, I am still months away (how many? good question), I still have good days and bad days, and that’s all I care to say. Whether WINDS or the first volume of FIRE AND BLOOD will be the first to hit the bookstores is hard to say at this juncture, but I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018… and who knows, maybe two. A boy can dream…"
Fire And Blood, by the way, is Martin's prequel series to Game Of Thrones, telling the history of the Westeros and the Targaryen reigns, and will be divided into two volumes, the first of which is apparently pretty much finished, and will be out... well, whenever Martin feels like it.Explore more on these topics:
