*** Potential spoiler from book ***
So people are wondering if Lady Stoneheart will return. @
BrAinPaiNt gave a good explanation about how a lot was left out in the TV show that wasn't very crucial to the story. I agree and I don't have a problem with these things being left out. I also don't know how crucial Lady Stoneheart'sb return would be. It might turn some viewers off with another return from the dead. However, Lady Stoneheart does something pretty significant in the book. This not happening would be a huge deviation from the book. A lot of fans love Brienne and probably want to see some type of romantic reunion between her and Jamie. But that's not supposed to happen if the show and book are ultimately following the same story. Lady Stoneheart is supposed to see Jamie's sword on Brienne, think it's some type of betrayal, and sentence Brienne to death. Now, I don't think Lady Stoneheart needs to return for the sole purpose of killing Brienne. The TV show can have Brienne die in some other way and it wouldn't be any deviation from the book in the long run. But having Brienne live and be happily ever after would be the complete opposite of the book. So Brienne should die and it probably should happen pretty soon. Personally, I like the idea of her being sentenced to death over a misunderstanding.
