Iwan Rheon seen on set of Game of Thrones-- role confirmed(?)



Note: Some possible spoilers for ADWD under the cut 



Someone on Tumblr (teawithconckers) saw them shooting a scene from Game of Thrones.

Anonymous asked: what did you see being filmed on game of thrones??? what was happening?

They were filming Theon being let down from a big torture cross thingy, there was a prosthetic wound on his foot that was sooo gross looking, had to remind myself it wasn’t real. And all the torture props were horrific, I hated Theon last season, but after seeing those, I think he’s getting his comeuppance. And I got shown round all the other sets, kept going I’ve seen that on tv!! Oh I remember a scene in here! Ya know the big massive table shaped liked Westeros - sure didn’t I touch that. Oh I’m so happy, it was so cool, I just wanna work for them.

Anonymous asked: OMFG YOU SAW THEON BEING TORTURED BY RAMSAY. WAS IWAN RHEON THERE?


I’M GOING TO CRY. I thought that was him, but then thought I was wrong cos his hair was different and I wasn’t very close to him and it was really really smoky on set. Oh my god, if that was him and I didn’t realise I’m going to have to cry. I thought it was him and then thought no, don’t be stupid, why would he be on Game of Thrones. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah it 99% was him, I’ve just googled it, he’s meant to be playing ‘Boy’ and that was who was on the call sheet that day. OH MY GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWD.

I didn’t see the torturing happening btw, though I think they were filming those scenes the next day. I saw him being taken down from this big cross thing he was tied up to by the boy. There were only 2 actors on set when I was there.

Anonymous asked: So the staff were a-ok with you seeing a scene they are probably trying to keep tightly under wraps? Did Iwan have long hair?

I had permission to be there, the set has very tight security, I wouldn’t have had a chance of even getting into the studios if I didn’t have permission. And they must have been alright with it because I watched about 3 hours worth of filming without anyone stopping me. Yeah, his hair was a lot longer than it is in Misfits, it covered his ears. (I’m going to go with 99.999% sure that it was him, though it’s probably a good thing I didn’t realise at the time as I probably would have exploded or something.)


So...if this is true (and I think it is) this confirms that that Iwan Rheon is playing none other than Ramsay Bolton and that they're moving Theon's torture into the third season.





And if Tumblr is any indication, expect Ramsay fangirls next season.

He was so creepy during the first year of Misfits. I was shocked how many fangirls he had back when he was the creepy guy eating ice lollies by a corpse so of course he'll have people fawning over him in this.

Ikr? And turning invisible to spy on her. He was lovable to the audience but the kid needed serious help.

I question the sanity of certain sections of fandoms.. reminds me of how many people loved Franklin on True Blood even though he was an insane rapist/kidnapper.

OMG, I did not get the Franklin fangirls AT ALL. Especially the ones who sincerely shipped him/Tara. What the fuck.

ugh i remember. lots of side-eye happening back then.

ita. He was so fucking creepy the first season, and I kinda didn't like how they made him all romantic in the later seasons.

At least in GoT, there is no way to make Ramsey romantic.

I preferred him in the first series, he was much more interesting then. Although he wasn't hot at all. I guess people thought he was a bit vindicated since the woman he killed led him on and played him, but the creepy Kelly thing was gross. I never got how he changed so much so quickly, it was really weird. I guess once they realised that loads of people fancied Super!Simon they decided to make him like that immediately.
That being said, people will always fancy a hot guy even if he's mental. :c

He got the Chuck Bass switch from bad to good in s2 of Misfits. I always found it a bit jarring.

yep! i never got over it tbh

In my defense, I fangirlled for him (and continue to do so) because I knew him from musical theater. So I'm not really that creepy, I swear.

I never saw him as hot in the first season (that changed) but he struck me as sympathetic. His speech pattern was very well done, choking his words out, etc. Also I liked how he never whined about he "didn't deserve" community service. idk - the bullied kid brings out my sympathies.

ikr i understood during 2nd season when we got to objectify his body, but he was a SUPER creep in the 1st season... and he almost raped kelly! wtf!

ia he was so creepy and I couldn't like him in the later season either. I'm surprised how many fans forgot what a creep he was in the beginning of the show.
celtic_thistle 23rd-Jul-2012 12:54 am (UTC)
He WAS. People forgot that too easily.

As one of those who fangirled him a bit and shipped him with Alisha way before it was canon... I wasn't into woobifying him. I fully embraced his fuckedupness and I never thought he was all that mentally healthy.

And I know this is weird, but I still don't think Simon/Alisha was all that healthy either - and that is part of what I liked about them. Yes, they could be cute and adorable. But there was still this underlayer of darkness that really drew me into them. Simon never stopped being unhealthily obsessed with her. and as someone into (fictional!) dubcon, codependent people and a fair amount of angst it totally worked for me.

Yeah, he was a big creep in first season D:
quietlyobsessed 23rd-Jul-2012 01:12 pm (UTC)
remember he accidentally killed her though. im not saying the guy didnt have issues and be seriously in the need of some therapy and social skills, but he wasn't exactly jack the ripper.

btw, icon love. i rewatched north and south today. unf that sexy voice of his.
