Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Crazy Rumours You Need To Know

4. Shae's Comeback

One of the most surprising leaks from the Thrones set was the bizarre appearance of Sibel Kekilli a.k.a. Shae in Peniscola, the location for Meereen scenes. She was quite clearly dead the last time we saw her in Season 4... Right? So what is she doing in costume? Surely she could only be in line for a flashback return, and if that's the case, fans have already theorised that her death was far deeper than just Tyrion delving into full rage-mode. Some fans have suggested that Varys set the whole thing up, ordering Shae to plant herself into Tywin's bed while he used the toilet. Varys knew Tyrion would enter the room, become enraged at seeing her, and kill Tywin for apparently sleeping with her. Shae's fate was unimportant in the grand scheme of things, Varys just wanted Tyrion to assassinate the greatest threat to House Targaryen - the side for which Varys and Tyrion now commandeer. If it's true, well played, eunuch.
