10 Characters Game Of Thrones Killed Off At The Wrong Time
8. Ros
This bombastic and hyper-visual fantasy series was famed in its early days for gore, swearing and a tonne of sex. All of the show's nudity and indulgence was fun, but felt very needless. Still, one method the showrunners employed to make it seem relevant was by taking the sex worker Ros and turning her into a legitimate character.
Viewers got to see as Ros went from a humble worker, spending time with the likes of Tyrion and Theon, to a significant role working as a spy for Lord Varys. She was never a major part of the story but seeing one of the indulgently sexualised figures gain some character was fascinating, and many fans were looking forward to seeing where she would go.
Sadly, things did not end well for Ros, as Petyr Baelish discovered her treachery and gave her to King Joffrey, who tied her up and filled her with crossbow bolts. It was a truly surprising moment, but one that felt like pure shock-value, as this character's story was unresolved, and there were plenty of avenues she could have gone in.
