Game of Thrones Actress Hannah Waddingham Describes Waterboarding Septa Unella Torture Scene

Fans will remember that Sansa was one of three core characters whose sexual assault was written into the show, not included in George R. R. Martin’s novels. The other two were Cersei, who was raped by Jaime in Season Four, and Daenerys, who was raped by Khal Drogo on her wedding night in Season One. In James Hibberd’s new oral history of the show,
Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon, Martin himself
commented, "Why did the wedding scene change from the consensual seduction scene ... to the brutal rape of Emilia Clarke? We never discussed it. It made it worse, not better.” The show’s gratuitous and offensive obsession with sexual assault generated widespread backlash, leading to what Waddingham described as a last-minute change to Septa Unella’s fate.
