Flat out ask the Game of Thrones cast what happens in the next season and they’ll tell you nothing, but turn it into a game and apparently it's Spoiler City, at least when it comes to Maisie Williams (Arya) and Sophie Turner (Sansa).

Yahoo! asked a host of GoT actors to give them ‘two truths and a lie’ with regards to season 6 - most of them deflecting the proposition or sticking to stuff about life on set - but not the actresses.

Here are their answers, and a little hypothesising on their veracity *potential spoilers ahead*:

Sophie Turner

1. “Ramsay dies.”

2. “Lady Stoneheart returns.”

3. “Arya checks three people off her list.”

Verdict: Ramsay dying seems likely given he’s long overdue ramifications for his actions and has made many enemies (not least Jon Snow). Lady Stonehart (Catelyn Stark) resurrecting as she did in the books to exact revenge seems unlikely by this point, so excitingly it looks as though Arya might be ready to tackle more names on her assassination list. Lord knows how Jaqen H'ghar will take this though, given most of his dialogue has been variations on ‘A GIRL HAS NO LIST’ so far this season.

Maisie Williams

1. “Arya goes to Westeros, back over the sea.”

2. “Arya is in the trailer more times than people have realized, because they don’t realize it’s her.”

3. “Arya doesn’t cross any more names off her list.”

Game Of Thrones teasers ahead of Season 6

Verdict: Hopefully Arya will go back to Westeros, as she’s been stuck in a protracted Braavos storyline for too long now, and if we believe Sophie Turner’s Arya tease then #3 has to be false. It’s certainly possible Arya was concealed in a teaser trailer wearing the face of another character, though no obvious ones spring to mind.

Disclaimer: They could, of course, be lying about all six plot strands. Just look what a great job Kit Harington did.
