Game of Thrones was known for its total disregard for fan-favorite characters and brutal on-screen deaths. The show's first season finale proved to fans that the show didn't mess around and wouldn't hesitate to kill off even its biggest stars. While the later seasons may have been appealing to fans, the deaths in the early seasons set it apart.
Actress Sibel Kekilli, who played Shae in the show, reportedly begged the makers not to kill her off in the show. The character who becomes close to Tyrion Lannister and eventually betrays him, is strangled to death by the Imp after he escapes from prison, which is one of the most harrowing moments of the show.
Sibel Kekilli played the role of Shae, a young prostitute who likes Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. The two fall in love and Tyrion takes her to King's Landing despite being forbidden by his father Tywin Lannister. He places her in Sansa Stark's chambers as her handmaiden and sees her regularly.
