Judging by [Sansa](http://time.com/5408551/sophie-turner-thrones-end/) and Arya’s [final scene together](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjkdNeXBVn0) in season 7 of [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/4913247/game-of-thrones-season-8-premiere-date/), it’s clear the Stark sisters have never stopped missing their father. But [Sophie Turner](http://time.com/5408494/sophie-turner-baby-shark/) has apparently been missing him offscreen as well. During an appearanceat New York Comic-Con on Saturday, Turner told [_Entertainment Weekly_](https://ew.com/tv/2018/10/06/sophie-turner-game-of-thrones-new-york-comic-con/) that she got super emotional when she was reunited with Sean Bean—who played Ned Stark in _Thrones_‘ first season—for a forthcoming season 8 featurette. Ned was killed off in the HBO drama’s ninth episode of season one when King Joffrey ordered Ser Ilyn Payne to behead him for treason, a twist that shocked fans. “We did a behind-the-scenes thing on the final season,” she said. “We had big panel where Sean Bean came back and everything. That was really emotional. I saw him and burst into tears. I wasn’t expecting that!” Let’s just hope the reunion went better for Turner and Bean than their last scene together. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5418669/game-of-thrones-sophie-turner-ned-stark-reunion/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5418669/game-of-thrones-sophie-turner-ned-stark-reunion/"},"headline":"Sophie Turner Had a Very Emotional Reunion With This Former Game of Thrones Star","datePublished":"2018-10-08T18:58:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:06:14.826Z","description":"We all miss him too, Sansa","url":"https://time.com/5418669/game-of-thrones-sophie-turner-ned-stark-reunion/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","TV"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1ace855c40eea2e0/698893fda988ca05f46b7ed1/sophie-turner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1ace855c40eea2e0/698893fda988ca05f46b7ed1/sophie-turner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Sophie Turner","caption":"Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark in HBO's Game of Thrones","creditText":"HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5418669/game-of-thrones-sophie-turner-ned-stark-reunion/","name":"Sophie Turner Had a Very Emotional Reunion With This Former Game of Thrones Star"}}]}] ```
