In the story, captured in the tweet below, she posted an image of Dora the Explorer heading off to find whatever is “west of Westeros,” just like Arya. > [](https://twitter.com/GehringRaissa/status/1130463990574964736) Sophie Turner, who spent eight seasons as Sansa Stark, posted a cast photo and thanked her character “for teaching \[her\] resilience, bravery and what true strength really is.” Emilia Clarke, the [Mother of Dragons](http://time.com/5591718/game-of-thrones-jon-kills-daenerys/), bid farewell to fans before she flew off into the sunset. In the caption to her behind-the-scenes photos, she wrote, “Dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we’ve made and what I’ve done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams. Without you there is no us.” More cast members bid farewell on Instagram, too, including the Lannister twins Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau,) Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson,) and Samwell Tarly (John Bradley.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5591818/game-of-thrones-finale-cast-goodbye/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5591818/game-of-thrones-finale-cast-goodbye/"},"headline":"Your Game of Thrones Favorites Have the Most Emotional Tributes to the Show You Never Wanted to Leave","datePublished":"2019-05-20T15:51:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T08:49:55.315Z","description":"Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, the Mother of Dragons and more all bid farewell to their Game of Thrones characters.","url":"https://time.com/5591818/game-of-thrones-finale-cast-goodbye/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Social Media","Television","game of thrones","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0491eb474d84245d/698946a48fd2ee5c2535df0f/sophie-turner-maisie-williams-game-of-thrones.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0491eb474d84245d/698946a48fd2ee5c2535df0f/sophie-turner-maisie-williams-game-of-thrones.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"sophie-turner-Maisie-williams-game-of-thrones","caption":"Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams as Sansa and Arya in Game of Thrones","creditText":"HBO (3)","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":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5591818/game-of-thrones-finale-cast-goodbye/","name":"Your Game of Thrones Favorites Have the Most Emotional Tributes to the Show You Never Wanted to Leave"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Game of Thrones The Last Watch Official Documentary Trailer","description":"Game of Thrones_ The Last Watch _ Official Documentary Trailer _ HBO","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/DjlTndze/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-05-14T14:26:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/DjlTndze.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5591818/game-of-thrones-finale-cast-goodbye/","duration":"PT1M","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5591818/game-of-thrones-finale-cast-goodbye/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
