Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington slams original plans for Jon Snow and Sansa Stark’s incestuous romance
GAME of Thrones' Kit Harrington blasted the original plans for Jon Snow and Sansa Stark's incestuous romance.
Fans have taken one of the theories involving the show's two characters and former star of the series was less than impressed.
Jon did get with his queen, who also happened to be his aunt, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), but this was't the original plan.
Author George RR Martin, originally pitched the idea of Jon getting together with one of his sister, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner).
During a video call, a fan informed Kit, 33, of the original idea for his character's relationship, to which he replied: "They wanted Jon with Sansa?! What? No! What? That's weird!"
In the realm of Game of Thrones, it is more common for marriage to take place between siblings, as it contains the family's bloodline.
Jon's partnership with Sansa would certainly have been a strange situation, but it would have made sense.
However, Jon and Sansa were not actual siblings and were in fact cousins, meaning the pair would have been able to tie the knot, and have children together.
If this materialised, it would have officially brought the Stark and Targaryen houses together, once again leaving Sansa in power when everything came to an end.
Last week, Kit admitted he has yet to watch the Game of Thrones finale a year after the hit series ended.

The hit HBO series came to an end in May last year, with Kit's character Jon Snow killing his lover Daenerys before being exiled to the North and the Night's Watch.
While the final season came under fire from some fans of the show and George R.R. Martin's books, Kit has revealed he hasn't seen it.
During a Q&A session with @purple_dwagon on Twitter, Kit said "I haven't seen it", while discussing his alter ego's return to the North.
He added: "When people say to me, ‘I wish you’d been on the Throne or I wish you’d been with Dany on the Throne,’ I disagree because Jon’s place was always in the North.
"He’s never have been happy in the South. He’s like Ned Stark. Ned goes to the South he’s in danger… [Jon] belongs North of the Wall.”
