In episode 2 of "Game of Thrones," it can be recalled that Sam Tarly decided to bring Gilly to his home town due to the latter's ineligibility to set foot at King's Landing. While on board in a ship, Sam decided to bring Gilly to the home of Tarlys in order to protect her and little Sam. On the other hand, Sam's bestfriend, Jon Snow is set to have his parentage revealed in episode 6.
The upcoming episode of "Game of Thrones" season 6 will be introducing the entire Tarly family. Samantha Spiro will be portraying Sam's mother as she plays Melessa Florent while Sam's father, Randyll Tarly, will be played by "Downtown Abbey" actor James Faulkner. On the other hand, "Macbeth" actress Rebecca Benson will portray as Sam's sister, Talla Tarly and "Harry Potter" actor Freddie Stroma will play as Sam's brother, Dickon Tarly, Grumpy Fish reported.
Meanwhile, it is speculated that a new bloodline will also be revealed in the upcoming episode. In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kit Harington, who portrays as Jon Snow, confirmed that Jon's story will be revealed in one of this season's episodes. He also answered an inquiry regarding his temporary death last season, and revealed that he was not informed right away about his character's comeback in season 6. He also pointed out that he had a hint he will be coming back due to several theories about his character's parentage. It can be recalled that many fans theorized the "R plus L equals J" theory, pointing out that Jon Snow's parents are Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.
Harington continued as he recalled how "Game of Thrones" executive producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss told him he was going back. He was casually invited for a walk when the two revealed he will be back on the show, and how he will be resurrected. The "Game of Thrones" actor admitted he felt relieved upon knowing about the news and that he felt "incredibly happy." Struggle came as Harington admitted he had to lie to his friends to keep this revelation a secret first to the majority in order to avoid spoilers.
