"Game of Thrones" season 6 could see Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) acting on their feelings for each other.
In the previous episode of the hit HBO series, Tormund and Brienne exchanged glances and it became obvious that the two could be interested in each other.
Immediately after the scene, fans started rooting for the two characters. They also came up with the name Tarthbane to refer to Tormund and Brienne.
While speaking with TV Guide, episode director Dan Sackheim said that the supporters of Tormund and Brienne could be in for a huge surprise in the upcoming episodes.
"I wasn't even sure that when I delivered that episode it was really clear. It was like a fun little bit, but I wasn't sure it was really clear that he had these amorous feelings for Brienne. I'm always amazed what fans pick up," he said.
Meanwhile, Sackheim also spoke to Tech Insider about the two characters' future.
"Honestly, I'm surprised anyone even noticed. I mean it was meant to be a little grace note, and the fact that it's blown up with the buzz it has on the internet and on the blogosphere is kind of shocking to me," he said.
In other news, the director also talked about the characters' chemistry and said that their scenes were very fun to direct.
"It's cool because they're two characters who are sort of expressly cut off from emotions. Certainly Brienne is. She's not particularly forthcoming or feminine. She's all about her charge, her duty, her responsibility, and you hardly ever get to see her as a person. I'm very grateful that I got the chance to direct a little bit of humor in both 'Oathbreaker' and 'The Book of Stranger,'" he said.
Meanwhile, there are rumors that Tormund and Brienne's relationship may eventually flourish, but it's highly possible that it wouldn't be anytime soon.
In the latest teaser for the upcoming episode of "Game of Thrones" season 6, Brienne will end up in Riverland and it seems impossible that Tormund will follow her there.
"Game of Thrones" season 6 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
