The Arya Stark actor, Williams, and Turner — who plays her onscreen sister, Sansa — really adore each other. Despite never having shared a single scene [together on the show](http://time.com/4689569/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-sophie-turner-friendship/), they’ve become close since the HBO drama’s early days. So when a Sansa Stark fan account shared a particularly cute tweet full of screen shots recognizing how these two are both always saying the sweetest things about each other in [interviews](http://ti.me/2qD9rry), Turner loved it. > [](https://twitter.com/amanltacaplan/status/869601268989394945) So, she responded by flagging the tribute to her co-star. > [](https://twitter.com/SophieT/status/869632574154567680) Williams responded with the maximum amount of best friend love possible in a tweet, and it was an emotional time. > [](https://twitter.com/Maisie%5FWilliams/status/870013966457593856) Characters on the show — they come, they go. But this friendship may just last forever. The seventh season returns on July 16. **Correction:** The original version of this story misstated which actors play which characters on Game of Thrones. Sophie Turner plays Sansa Stark and Maisie Williams plays her sister Arya Stark, not the other way around. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4801073/maisie-williams-sophie-turner-game-of-thrones/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4801073/maisie-williams-sophie-turner-game-of-thrones/"},"headline":"Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams Prove Their Friendship Will Outlive Everyone on Game of Thrones Again","datePublished":"2017-06-01T15:01:45.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T07:24:40.000Z","description":"When \"Game of Thrones\" fever fades, the friendship between stars Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams will probably still be going strong","url":"https://time.com/4801073/maisie-williams-sophie-turner-game-of-thrones/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","TV","Maisie Williams","Sophie Turner","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt76fe22d37b76eb32/6988be1d0b72e36f476ecef8/sophie-turner-maisie-williams-carpool-karaoke.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt76fe22d37b76eb32/6988be1d0b72e36f476ecef8/sophie-turner-maisie-williams-carpool-karaoke.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Featured Session: Game of Thrones - 2017 SXSW Conference and Festivals","caption":"Actors Sophie Turner (L) and Maisie Williams attend onstage at 'Featured Session: Game of Thrones' during 2017 SXSW Conference and Festivals at Austin Convention Center on March 12, 2017 in Austin, Texas.","creditText":"Amy E.
