Johannes Haukur (Lem Lemoncloak) on filming Season 6, and the plot that could have been 

Nordic actor Johannes Haukur wasn’t on 

for long, but he made his presence known. The actor played Lem Lemoncloak, a rogue member of the Brotherhood Without Banners and one of the men who massacred the Hound’s new friends at the end of “The Broken Man.” Hauker drew attention when he started posting about his role on Twitter. He confirmed he was indeed playing Lem Lemoncloak, a character from the books, and found himself having to clarify some of his remarks after he seemed to be hinting that Lady Stoneheart, a book character closely involved with the Brotherhood, might finally be appearing on the show.

Dawning on me that some of you guys might hunt me down if that bitch doesn't show up. I can't say either way!!! 😭🍋👗

Poor guy…I don’t think he was prepared for how passionate the Stoneheart truthers can be.

Well, Lemoncloak was killed off in “No One,” and Lady Stoneheart was nowhere to be seen. “I kinda thought it would be more,” Haukur said of his death scene. “But that’s just being selfish, I got my fair share.” This would seem to be the end of that particular fan theory, but Haukur helped ease the blow by recording one of Lem Lemoncloak’s lines from the epilogue of 

, where he talks to Merett Frey about Lady Stoneheart right before she orders the hapless Frey hanged.

Fine! As promised here's Lem's great line from A Storm of Swords we didn't get in the show. #GoT #Lemoncloak 🍋👗👢 pic.twitter.com/VAyRpzAstB

I’ve gotta say, that’s a pretty good reading, but it’s all for naught now.

about his role on the show, and revealed some interesting stuff about how far it went to preserve spoilers from leaking in the off-season. “When I found out I actually had been cast in the show I was ecstatic to be honest,” he said. “My wife who is an avid reader of the books was very intrigued, because she didn’t recognise my character’s name. In the audition he was called Lachlan.”

“Lachlan” was the name of a character from a casting call that leaked onto the internet a year ago. The production was right to change the name—if it was known that the producers were looking for someone to play Lem Lemoncloak, book-reading fans would have known that the Brotherhood Without Banners was returning well ahead of the start of Season 6. As it was, it still came as something of a surprise.

That camouflage extended beyond his character. “Even the script I got didn’t say it was the Hound or Clegane that was after us,” Haukur revealed. “He was called

in the script. I only found out it was the Hound when I arrived in Belfast for a costume fitting.” 

really made with the cloak and dagger stuff this year.

Haukur also talked a bit about his initial contact with the show. It seemed that he auditioned for the role of the Thenn Styr back in Season 4, but that role ended up going to Joseph Gatt. He even tweeted out footage from his audition.

Although Haukur has no idea what’s going to happen in the final two episodes of Season 6 (“It’s all very much on a need to know basis,” he said), he’s excited to watch the showdown between Jon and Ramsay in the upcoming episode, dubbed the Battle of the Bastards. And he might not be backing for the guy you think. “And yes, I’m totally routing for King Ramsay Bolton. I just wanna see that guy do bad things. That’s all I want in life.” To be a fly on the wall at that viewing party…

We’d waited a long time for this Game of Thrones reunion, and finally it arrived: Jaime...
