Game of Thrones: The trouble with Joffrey Shae wants to forget the danger around her. She is a friend, not just a handmaiden, of Sansa's. She knows it's a dangerous world, but she's started to hope. In the last season, she had told Sansa, "Don't trust anyone," and I think she still believes that, but when you're in love. Does she realize the depth of the danger she's in just by staying there? Shae knows that Tywin ( Charles Dance) threatened to kill any whore that his son Tyrion brought to King's Landing. The first time that Shae met Sansa, she was like, "I don't want to be here with one of these rich, spoiled girls," but now, I think she would die for this girl. This season, Shae is taking care of Sansa, sort of undercover as her lady's maid, but also as a confidant and protector. We promise to each other to stay together." And I think it started at that point that she fell in love with him. How have Shae's feelings for Tyrion changed over time to where we see her now?Īt the end of the second season, when he lost his power and he is wounded - that was the time when she could have left him easily, but she didn't. So the first thing was not love at first sight, it was, "OK, this would be a good business for me." What were Shae's feelings for Tyrion when she first met him?Īt first for Shae, she's like, "Is this guy rich? Can he give me things?" And I don't know if you remember the first scene, but she was looking around like, "What else can I take with me from this tent?" So at first, it's really selfish of her because it's a world of power, fighting, losers and winners. Game of Thrones' Coster-Waldau on Jaime losing his hand. Let's see how this works." So I was a bit frightened. and after they gave me the description of Game of Thrones and told me that Shae is a prostitute and will become the girlfriend of Tyrion. They only gave me that first scene for the audition, not the whole description. When you first tried out for this role, how was Shae described to you? In the first season, when they played that game in the tent, we find out that her mom is not a prostitute, but Shae didn't like to talk about her parents. Have the producers Dan Weiss or David Benioff told you her backstory? But other than that, her background is mysterious. We first meet Shae as a camp follower whom Tyrion offers to set up as his mistress in Season 1.

I think she feels hurt and at the same time, she is angry."Ĭheck out the rest of Kekilli's interview for insights into how Shae has changed over time, her feelings towards Sansa and more: "She's never going to be a girl like Sansa. I could marry Tyrion one day.' But now, the real world shows her the reality, that it's not a game," Kekilli says. "She may have thought, 'Maybe, even though I was a prostitute, I could change things. It's a sticky and somewhat tragic situation all around: Tyrion is honor-bound to House Lannister to make the match, Sansa finds him unappealing (especially after her previous engagement to the knight of her dreams), and Shae knows that political marriages are all about producing an heir. Game of Thrones "The Climb" recap: Littlefinger's bad investment She's jealous sometimes when he talks about other women, and that's a typical relationship problem." "Shae's in love with Tyrion, and Tyrion is in love with her too. "I think yes, she's more than that now," Kekilli tells. And even though Shae began as Tyrion's paid mistress, they've both developed genuine feelings for each other. One former whore recently paid the ultimate price for betraying her boss, and on Sunday's all-new episode (9/8c, HBO), Shae ( Sibel Kekilli) is dealing with the bad news that her lover, the highborn Tyrion Lannister ( Peter Dinklage) will marry the teenaged Sansa Stark ( Sophie Turner) for political reasons.
