Game Of Thrones siblings cast as lovers in steamy horror movie - as sheepish star admits 'sorry guys, it's really weird for all of us!'
A Game of Thrones star has admitted 'it's really weird for all of us' after landing a new role in an upcoming horror film which sees her former co-star as her lover. Sophie Turner, 29, and Kit Harington, 38, will be back on our screens very soon to star in The Dreadful. 'The Dreadful follows Anne and her mother-in-law Morwen who live a solitary, harsh life on the outskirts of society - but when a man from their past returns, he will set off a sequence of events that become a turning point for Anne,' IMDB's synopsis reads. Kit will take on the role of Jago, while Sophie will play his alter-ego's partner Anne. But some may find it weird considering Kit played Sophie's character Sansa Stark's half-brother Jon Snow on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons, between 2011 and 2019. Speaking about her new role, Sophie told Vogue magazine: 'I've got a few very exciting projects coming out. Kit (pictured) played Sophie's character Sansa Stark's half-brother Jon Snow on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons, between 2011 and 2019 'I did a movie last year which I'm really excited about. '[It's] with my old but very good friend, Kit Harington, who played my brother on Game of Thrones. 'We're doing a Gothic horror, but we play lovers. 'Sorry guys, it's really weird for all of us.' Sophie was just 14-years-old when she first appeared on the popular series, while Kit was 10 years older than her. The pair will also be joined by Marcia Gay Harden, Lauren O'Fuarain, Jonathan Howard, Catherine McDonough, Zachary Cohen, Huxley Sheppard, Tigerlily Langford and Jürgen Koenen. The Dreadful has been directed and writer by Natasha Kermani. But despite finding it weird, the mum-of-two actually put her former co-star's name forward. She told The Times: 'They were trying to find someone for that role, and I was like, "You can't not have Kit." 'It's set around the time of the Wars of the Roses, so we'll probably be floating about in robes on clifftops again.' Game of Thrones hit our screens in 2011. The fantasy series, based on A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin, aired 73 episodes over eight series. And it boasted a stellar cast, including Sean Bean, Mark Add, Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen and Harry Lloyd. But this isn't the only film that will allow GoT fans to get their fix. Last month it Netflix fans have been gripped by a 'highly underrated' period drama with two major Game Of Thrones stars. The historical drama, titled Medici, first aired in 2016 and consists of three seasons. Based in 15th-century Renaissance Florence, the series follows the Medici dynasty as it 'flexes its power in politics and the arts,' according to the synopsis. The show has largely gone unnoticed despite boasting an impressive cast of well-known talent. In the first season, Medici: Masters of Florence, Game Of Thrones actor Richard Madden stars as Cosimo de' Medici. The Scottish actor played Robb Stark in the first three seasons of the fantasy drama between 2011 and 2013. While another Game Of Thrones star, Sean Bean, joined Medici in season two and plays Florentine banker Jacopo de'Pazzi.

Five Mothers on How They Are Protecting Their LGBTQIA+ Children
Today is May 11, the 131st day of 2025. In the last 131 days, 575 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills have been filed in 49 states—all of them attacking the community's right to breathe, go to school, walk safely down the street, and not only live, but thrive. Today is also Mother's Day. For many of us, mothers are the world's guiding lights, the fixers of all problems. The five mothers below reflect that: They are mothers standing up for their LGBTQIA+ children in a time when their very existence is being called into question. Marcia Gay Harden, mother of three Courtesy Subject 'My children are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to bed. All parents have preconceived ideas about who our children are. When they begin to define themselves differently, there may be some sort of mourning. But immediately after, hopefully, there's a celebration of the fact that you gave them this place to feel comfortable to explore and be who they are going to be—and you get to receive that gift. The Drag Isn't Dangerous telethon was the first time I said out loud that all of my children identify with the LGBTQ+ community. And then the hate mail came rolling in. I think it came from very right-wing Republican groups with an organized hatred of the LGBTQIA, as you can see by the laws and politics that are currently rolling back all kinds of all kinds of rights, permissions, passports, and healthcare for the community. They should be more interested in insider trading and corruption than the signs on a bathroom. But then one of my kids said 'Work it, Mom. If they're mad, you must be doing something right.' My coping mechanism is just to refocus and ask myself: Who is more important? My kids, or some extended family member, who is choosing to say something inappropriate? My kids, or the neighbors acting rudely? We're talking about who my children are—this is not a political belief, it's their being.
