Game Of Thrones Season 8: Ranking The Probability Of Every Character Death In The Finale

Game of Thrones pretty much wrapped-up the story of Sam and Gilly in episode 4, The Last of the Starks: with the reveal that Gilly was pregnant, they were ready to get their happy ending and Jon said his goodbyes.

It was a nice moment, but it still feels like we should see them - or at least Sam - again, even just to put a full stop on their arc, because Sam's one of the few non-Stark characters left who's been a part of the show since Season 1. That doesn't amount to death, however. These three have always seemed like Westeros' best chance at a successful, surviving family unit, and there's nothing to be gained from taking that away now.

Chance Of Death: 1/10
