Two members of the Stark family, namely Sansa (Sophie Turner) and her adoptive brother Jon (Kit Harington), have already found their way to each other in "Game of Thrones" Season 6. However, Season 7 of the HBO series will feature a power struggle between the said characters as Sansa is set to display more of her leadership skills.
"Game of Thrones" Season 7 is expected to feature a battle between Cersei's forces (Lena Headey) and Daenerys' (Emilia Clarke) army. Apart from the said battle, a different kind of war is brewing in the North that involves Sansa and Jon's power struggles.
In an interview with Gold Derby, Turner teased how Sansa will go on a "bit of a power trip," in "Game of Thrones" Season 7. With Jon being crowned as the King of North, Sansa will try to explore the depth of her power and influence as a Queen.
Despite the resurrected warrior's new found respect for Sansa after her political machinations helped him win the fight against Ramsay (Iwan Rheon), Jon does not always listen to his sister. With a potential tension arising between the two characters in Season 7, Sansa will feel frustrated with the situation, according to Turner.
The actress stated, "They've both been through so much, and he's not listening to her as much anymore ... I think she feels a little disheartened by Jon."
Meanwhile, avid "Game of Thrones" fans have been looking forward to the Stark siblings' reunion in the HBO series. Turner shared in an interview with The Wrap that she is also excited to see Sansa reunite with Arya (Maisie Williams) and Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright).
However, Turner neither confirmed nor denied the highly speculated Stark reunion in the HBO show's penultimate season. Despite keeping silent about the said plot development, the actress teased that viewers will see several characters uniting together and creating new alliances.
Turner shared, "There are definitely a few reunions happening this season - or unions. There were a few that I'm quite excited about."
"Game of Thrones" Season 7 is expected to premiere in summer 2017. Watch a clip that featured Jon being recognized as the new King of the North:
