Conleth Hill's GOT reaction was totally normal and understandable! He was pissed, they're all really invested in the project, but he did nothing unusual or disrespectful, considering he had no idea it was coming. So many OTT titles to that video "Angry Reaction" "Throws the script away"... when you see it, it's like he's just found his coffee had gone cold. Respect to him!

[@thecroft6070]

He was probably also annoyed at how badly it was written by Dumb and Dumber

There is a story about Dicky Attenborough. When he got the script for Jurassic Park, it didn’t have his gruesome death scene from the book. He was rather disappointed - he loved a good death scene. When he complained to his agent, he was dryly told, “You have a choice: a death scene or a sequel…”

I annoy myself by noticing every time a car park just outside the building is always available for the main character to pull in and run into the building. Never having to go around the block or parallel park. And I must point this out to my husband. He loves this.

According to TV screenwriter @MichaelJaminWriter, things like saying goodbye to end a phone conversation are known as ¨shoe leather¨ - bits of dialogue that add no value to the plot and are cut in order to save running time for more important things.

[@joan783]

Thinking about the “writing out” of a character, given how long production takes these days it must be difficult for the actor who has been written out because they can’t really take other jobs and keep the secret. Suspicion is raised when they aren’t filming and looking for other work. On the graveyard thing, I remember being in the cemetery in Halifax NS where many of the Titanic victims are buried. At the end of the row there was an additional stone that said “Jack Dawson”. I also remember walking through a cemetery in Scotland that was created for a film, all the headstones were resin and just left after filming.

[@hjt2236]

I always thought with Conleth, it wasn't just being written out, it was also because it was done in such a poor, cheap way that made no sense for the overall story and finalising of the series. I can believe most of the actors felt similar about their sudden character changes and demises!

In Brookside episode 1369, easily findable on KZbin, Jackie Corkhill takes a phone call in which she isn't heard saying anything as she picks up the phone (Though this can be excused by the way that the scene is edited.), and when given the news of Tony Dixon's death, blatantly nods in response and drops the phone from her ear. The person at the other end of the line must have been asking "Hello? Hello? Did you hear me? Are you still there?".

On actors discovering they’ve been written out during the table read: I’ve never been in a room where everyone is seeing the script for the first time and discovering the plot. It wouldn’t work for dyslexic actors (of whom there are many) or those with sight problems etc- normally you have received a password protected, watermarked script beforehand so you can prepare, make choices etc. Table reads are for producers/directors to hear the episodes and make tweaks if needed. They aren’t sight-reading competitions or ambushing actors with nasty shocks. What you see with Conleth Hill is a real reaction to it playing out during the reading- he didn’t agree with the way the character had changed and been dispatched. But he knew about it already.

[@JoeChristmas-rx1gr]

That's really interesting @matthewmurraybates1 - it did look like a 'school play' 1st read through when I saw the programme - though I suspected that it was just done for the Extras reel and they wouldn't normally work like that. I agree that Conleth Hill's reaction wasn't just a spur of the moment outburst on hearing how his character had been dispatched, but was bundled in with a general dissatisfaction with the way the whole last season was written and played out. Marina's comment about how exhausted the show runners were at that point was interesting too. In contrast, Kit Harrington's reaction when he found out the details of Jon Snow's fate struck me as genuine - as was Emilia Clarke's. Of course it's possible they were just doing the acting thing for the additional footage - though their responses did look genuine to me

[@matthewmurraybates1]

@ the table read is a standard thing, but I suspect Marina has conflated CH’s reported unhappiness about the ending with a mistaken inference about his reaction at the table, and assumed they hadn’t been sent the scripts beforehand.

[@JoeChristmas-rx1gr]

I agree it would be strange, but Kit Harrington's response suggested to me too that he hadn't seen the script prior to the table read

One of the rare occasions when a word has the shorter form for women, and has a suffix for the male version -- perhaps as a commentary on the brevity of male lives -- is "widow", with "widower" as the extension.

[@jrb5077]

It's not really a commentary on longevity; it's more to do with the status of women in medieval times. When a woman was widowed, she gained a kind of autonomy for the first time in her life, with no father or husband responsible for her. But a man's social/legal status didn't really change when his wife died, so no equivalent term was needed for him. I'd guess the term "widower" referring specifically to a man is a relatively late development.

The "-ess" suffix to denote feminine nouns in English is almost certainly due to its roots in Latin and Germanic languages. Both Old English and Middle English were gendered. For example, "the baker" - "se bæcere" was written "seo bæcestre" in the feminine form. This grammatical usage was eventually phased out by the 15th Century, but some elements remained. Interestingly, there is a movement within Modern European languages to reduce the gendering of words; many younger speakers are using gender neutral grammar forms - eg Germans have adopted alternative pronouns, or "Neopronomen", to define non binary or gender neutral status, such as xier, si*er, dey, em, en, hen, and iks.

Imagine being an actor at the top of your game. You give 8 years of your life to a TV show dealing with the difficulty of playing a mysterious character whose motivations are unclear, but who is clearly being set up to be central to the plot of the show. Then, in the final season, your character changes entirely from being a cunning manipulator to a bumbling idiot who basically commits suicide by stupidity, because the show-runners are too tired to write a show that makes any sense. Conleth's extremely mild reaction (looking slightly upset and putting the script down) was a testament to the man. Disgusting to be treated that way, I'd be fuming
