'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Spoilers Preview Sansa and Littlefinger's Journey From King's Landing After Joffrey's Death, HBO Cast Member Aidan Gillan Hints at the Stark's 'Dark Streak' in New Episodes

"Games of Thrones" season 4 has had fans on the edge of their seats as it was recently revealed that it was Petyr Baelish who helped Sansa Stark escape from King's Landing following King Joffrey's death at the Purple Wedding.

According to Entertainment Wise, cast member Aidan Gillan who plays Littlefinger decided to spill some spoilers on what's to come after his character's move and his relationship with Sansa.

During a chat with Rolling Stone Gillian confessed, "It was exciting for me to get that ship and sail away. Littlefinger has such long-laid plans - stretching away not just geographically, but over time."

The actor went on to say, "What his relationship with Sansa becomes is quite interesting. I don't want to give too much away, but her character and personality is surprising, and that really excites me. Or rather, it excites Littlefinger [Laughs]."

Gillian reflected on Sansa reluctance to put up a fight even though she was in the midst of horrific violence and threats.

The actor said, "Sansa is cleverer than we may have given her credit for."

The HBO star revealed that the latest journey between Sansa and Littlefinger is one to watch.

Aidan Gillian revealed, "For Littlefinger, there's a certain thrill to being in dangerous and new situations, finding new people to try and psych out. It's about the journey. Like he said: 'The climb is all there is.' Arriving there is not so important.

"It's not about being in a position of absolute power, which can be dull, and a heavy burden - and very dangerous. But to be close to that is exciting.

"And he likes to play games, especially with new people. To have an effect on Sansa, and to see her blossom as a player herself - to show a dark streak, or a daring side, or a playful side...."

Many fans are worried about Sansa now that she is stuck with Littlefinger however, the actor insisted that he is optimistic about the relationship.

He explained, "I think there's something genuine in his new surrogate-parental role in Sansa's life," adding, "There's something kind of sweet about it."

"Game of Thrones" season 4 airs on HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m.
