New photos of Sam & Gilly in Oldtown, as Game of Thrones in Cáceres filming wraps! 

reported the first photos of John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) in

season 7. Now that filming has wrapped in Cáceres, Spain, we have even MORE photos from the good people at Hoy and, as you can see from above, we now have some with Hannah Murray (Gilly)!

Check out the rest (and some minor spoilers) under the cut!

Sam, Gilly, and not-so-little-anymore Sam were seen bundled up and heading out of Oldtown. Given their attire, we can guess they’re heading North!

Murray and Bradley weren’t the only ones spotted as director Matt Shakman (of episodes four and five) was also seen on set!

Given his appearance, we can also infer that this will be taking place during the later half of season 7.

The cutest couple in Westeros were also seen on-set enjoying a mini snack break:

We’ve also got an oddly (maybe even Braavosi?) dressed extra, and Sam and Gilly heading out!

It’s extremely exciting to see Sam and Gilly on the move again and even more so when there’s a possible Jon Snow reunion on the horizon! What are your thoughts? Let us know below!

I wonder if they’ll leave Oldtown post “Roseroad scene” and with knowledge of a couple things that happened there…

Definitely Braavosi- and I believe there’s also a male Braavosi extra there too. Gets more and more mysterious.

First thought on seeing the first photo was “Thank the gods, they finally sold that little brat. Time to have some fun for a change!”

It’s nice to see Sam, Gilly, and little Sam. I’m really not feelin’ Gilly’s flowery dress. The hair looks good, though. Poor Sam has been wearing the same quilted black tunic (?) since S2, I think. If anyone ever needed a change in attire, it’s definitely Sam. I don’t see Heartsbane anywhere. Maybe it’s in the cart.

Isn’t Old Town a port city? So I don’t think it’s strange that a Braavosi woman would be strolling the city streets. Just as Westerosi go to Braavos, the Braavosi can go to Westeros too.

Shakman being the director of these Sam/Gilly scenes seems to line up with what Lads said: that they will leave Old Town in episode 5 and head to Winterfell. That explains Sam, Gilly, and little Sam being bundled up for the long journey to the cold North.

Oldtown is a large city and a harbor. It wouldn’t surprise me to see people from all walks of life there.

Love Gilly’s new look, she looks like she’s really come into her own now.

Bloody Sam, change your clothes. Lol his as bad as Jorah and Davos in that department.

At least Jorah has changed his rags to proper Westeros clothes this upcoming season from Dragonstone pics hallelujah. I’ll miss the blue thing he had around his neck though when he was obviously trying to match Dany’s blue clothes lol

I think it’s very unusual that a clearly Braavosi couple would be there-even though it is a port. Kings Landing is also a port but all the locals have a similar style there. The wardrobe team are paying particular attention to their hair styling and costuming (taking reference photos to ensure continuity that they usually do for main cast), would they be so particular if they were just random extras?

Shouldn’t Sam be wearing one of those maester’s chains across the chest?

I just have one question…where is Sam’s chain? Maybe he got his knowledge and left to rejoin everyone else.

It takes years of study to get chains, he won’t be a proper maester when he leaves. He probably just got important information for the fight against the WW and is going back to Jon to help in the fight

Yeah, that’s definitely a Braavosi. They’re portraying Oldtown as a very cosmopolitan city.

Maybe the Brevosi is Arya? I don’t know how to hide spoilers so I won’t say why it would make sense.

You know, we’ve passed the point at which they have to admit that Little Sam can or should be able to talk.

I kind of was thinking that too. I would have liked to have seen him actually become a maester though and still marry Gilly

Yeah, there is a reason all the maester’s we see are at least middle aged because they’ve spent years studying

He could technically still marry Gilly after the WW war since I don’t imagine they’ll have need of a nights watch afterwards but I can’t see him becoming a maester since they are forbidden to marry perhaps a scholar though or he’ll take over his house since his father and brother are going up against Dany and it probably won’t go well for them so someone will need to fill in the gaps they leave behind

reallylike the gilly new look, but wheres the scene with davos and tyrion finding gendry? like, peter was in te city last week, so he came back to spain to film in malpartida? strange since was confirmed he wasnt part of the ambush. i dont get why he was in caceres

Wait, are they going to take the Kingsroad to Winterfell? That seems really dangerous now. Why not take a ship? Maybe they are really in Braavos on the way to White Harbor. But then again, what would they be doing with a cart and horse?

In the books, they get to Oldtown by way of Braavos in the first place (involving all sorts of fun with Arya), and that appears to be a typical route when coming from the North (in that case, I believe the point of origin was Eastwatch), so if they are on their way to Winterfell, I suppose it’s not all that odd that they should stop in Braavos.

However, the horse and cart are sort of inexplicable. Maybe they are making a delivery on the way. 🙂

The Dragon Demands: You know, we’ve passed the point at which they have to admit that Little Sam can or should be able to talk.

Er, why would they “admit” this? Given the kid’s size (or kids’ sizes: he probably is played by twins), he’s supposed to be about 3. However, just because a three year old can speak it does not follow that anybody other than his parents ever want hear it, and it certainly would be nothing that would add to the story.

No it takes years of studying to get them I doubt Sam will be there for more than a few months. I imagine he’ll leave with information about the WW threat from books at the Citadel without actually becoming a maester

Hmmm, Sam’s non-black cloak (pelt-collared too!!) and Gilly’s finery might indicate that maybe he’s learned that he is now Lord Tarly. If he learned of JOn’s leaving the NW and becoming the Kitn as well, maybe Sam considers his watch ended as well. I’ve never thought he would become a maester. He specifically was told by Stannis and Jon to learn what would defeat the WW, and although Sam loves learning (don’t we all?), he’s got more important things to accomplish upon completion of his research: crucial knowledge to convey, caring for family, etc. One other remote possibility: if he’s in Braavos, perhaps to deal with the Iron Bank. Or per hints in the books, Jaqen could have met him in Oldtown and even told him to go to Braavos for some reason. BTW, has anyone spotted Tom Wlaschiha during S7 filming? Of course, Jaqen could look like anyone.

I think that to get to Winterfell, it would make more sense to go directly to White Harbor from Oldtown. Oldtown to Braavos to Eastwatch by water, then south on the road to Winterfell, seems a tad much given winter sailing *and* road conditions.

Little Sam really takes after his father. In fact it’s rumored that he already has thirteen wives.

I hope this part is not true as it’s stupid and so un-necessary given Bran’s power to see the past. Why on earth would he be looking for and care about the information he’s found other than as an aside? Make a note of it and file it under something to tell Jon AFTER he finds a way to stop the WW. Their world is in peril from the NK so instead of trying to find a way to stop them – he runs to tell Jon some ‘personal news’ like some teenage girl relaying gossip? The ‘paper in question’ ins’t going to say ‘Jon has super powers’ and he can stop the WW so why would he stop trying to save the world to deliver this? Bran likely already knows the entire story including what’s potentially written on that paper so it makes absolutely no sense at all.

I agree but I think he probably finds out stuff about the WW as well and can’t discover anything else so he goes North to relay that information before the WW invade. Just because it wasn’t in the leaks doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, I’m sure there are many things they didn’t mention like this website announcing Cersei and the Iron Bank issues.

Cannot unsee Greenman. XD That’s just awesome.

Also can Gilly and Sam even get any cuter? I love them.

Cannot unsee Greenman. XD That’s just awesome.

They just seem so darn pleased about it all. 😁

The green man looks really interesting. Isn’t it the same colour they use as CGI marker or whatever that thing is called?

I think the handle of the Heartsbane can be seen in the second photo from above. It’s wrapped into cloaks, so it’s hard to tell for sure but the shape looks similar. It’s not just a bundle.

Presumably Belfast filming will continue until shortly before Christmas. If I understood WOTW correctly, filming will then pick up in the new year. And they’ll also start filming in Iceland mid-January.

The stuff Sam finds there basically legitimizes everything Bran sees about Jon, so yeah it’s important. Not everyone is going to believe Bran’s magical visions, but more would be convinced if there are records at the Citadel which confirm those visions.

I think though what Kathy is referring to though is Jon’s parentage doesn’t matter if they all die against the WW, so It would be stupid for Sam to leave before he gets information on the WW giving them a edge against them since Jon’s parentage will not help them in the slightest in the actual fight if anything it would do the opposite and hurt Jon in a time when he needs to be clear headed in the fight, instead he’ll keep thinking about the man he looked up to for years and has tried to be like isn’t his father, instead it’s the man who Ned told him basically kidnapped and Raped his sister.

Maester Wolkan is the one keeping Sam up to date with what is happening in Winterfell, so maybe he’s assured that he can return. Or he finds something about the WW and sends it to Winterfell and Bran (who knows these things anyway) and that makes it easier to leave. To me it always seemed obvious that the reason Sam and Gilly were sent away from the Wall was: 1. to keep them alive because the WW are going to attack it and nobody will survive and 2. to find out something about Jon’s parentage which will confirm Bran’s visions, so I’m not too worried about this.

The leaker clearly didn’t reveal everything that happens this season anyway.

It is important that either Sam or Bran find a way to defeat the WW as I think we all know a frontal assault will fail every time, they may kill quite a bit of WW but every time one of their own fall their added to the WW army. It has to be more to do with the Night King himself.

Bran will most likely figure it out. He already saw how the NK was made, so he might see more in the future. I don’t think the show wants to reveal everything too early.

We also don’t know what else Sam might discover, as those are probably all indoor scenes.

Mel: It is important that either Sam or Bran find a way to defeat the WW as I think we all know a frontal assault will fail every time

This is not Lord of the Rings: ultimately, the big hook is going to be Jon and Daeny building upon their past experiences to make some damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t decision(s) with which they will then have to live (although we won’t see that part).

At any rate, it would be silly if the Maesters had information about how to kill White Walkers. After all, the Maesters do not think that White Walkers ever existed. At best, they would have recordings of the old myths that they would record for anthropological reasons: but the Children have (or had) much better historical references, and they did not know how to kill the Walkers. So, if actual recordings of events do not tell you how to fight the Walkers, then how will heavily distorted and mutated stories derived from those histories tell anyone anything? (Note that this really eliminates both Bran and Sam.)

Instead, the bigger issue is going to be: why are the Walkers back? They’ve been gone for millenia. There must be some reason why they are back. Understanding that, and understanding the cost of undoing or balancing that reason is a much more plausible direction for this sort of story. My bet is that it will be something along these lines: and Jon & Daeny (and perhaps Tyrion, Arya, Bran & Sansa) will be involved in making some pretty terrible choices about how that “undoing” is paid.

What Bran learned from this was why obsidian can kill them. The Children had no other ideas, and they have been able to relive those histories for thousands of years. It would be silly if the answer was sitting there for one person to realize. (And, no, that is not how it works in reality; in reality, these things come from groups of people attacking the same general problem in a variety of ways: usually the answer could not have been had given the effort of just one of them.)

The leaks say Sam leaves Oldtown because he is tired of doing dogsbody work, which implies that he doesn’t find anything useful about the WWs I thought.

Secondly, what I understood from the leaks was that Sam doesn’t realize the truth of Jon’s parentage when he leaves Oldtown. Gilly finds the papers, however she pronounces “Ragger” when she mentions it, and Sam doesn’t connect this with “Rhaegar” and so he doesn’t pay her much attention. And it is only later at the end of the season when Sam and Bran talk about this that Sam realizes Gilly was talking about Rhaegar. That’s when they connect the dots and realize Jon is Rhaegar’s legitimate son.

So apparently Sam just leaves Oldtown without any particular purpose in mind.

One of the things I have been most curious about is what causd the white walkers to wake, and also WHEN did they wake. Maybe if we knew when they woke and started traveling south, then we can have a better idea of the events of that period in question. We know they were on the move when the Stark kids were younger. So when did this begin? What was thecatylist that triggered them?

Also regarding WW, I am wondering if some type of imbalance was created and if they have to somehow get the balance back. Did the original Bran the builder work some kind of peaceful deal with them? I can’t fathom a couple of dragons and human beings defeating them in a war. I mean, there are thousands upon thousands of wights alone and God knows how many white waLkers. I am looking forward to getting some answers I hope.
