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. ## Transcript [00:09] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [00:39] The dinners we have are definitely not that [00:42] Well- mannered, with their little boosters and that.
