Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner did not expect an happy ending of Sansa Stark

Game of Thrones Season 8 was the most controversial season among all in this cult TV series. While performances of the cast were appreciated, according to reports in a leading daily, audience was unhappy with the poor writing. Creators of the show David Benioff and D.B Weiss were blamed for the apparently hasty execution of the plot of the show. There was a petition signed with 1.5 million signatures and they were asked to remake the final season all over again. But not all characters were bad in the final season according to the fans. One of the good character arc liked by the fans was of Sansa Stark whose ending was much better than the fans expected. Though she did not win the Iron Throne, she became the Queen in the North.
