In an oral historical past of the episode, Michelle Fairley, who performs Catelyn Stark, described to EW what it was like filming the marriage scene. “The lady is simply grief-stricken. However she doesn’t lose management,” she mentioned. “She is aware of she’s useless — and in her thoughts she needs to be useless — and needs to get revenge as properly. Due to the best way it’s filmed, you felt extremely static, which is simply highly effective — she stays rooted to her spot. Her grief must be expressed in some form and type, and that’s vocally and thru her face.”
The true tragedy of the Purple Marriage ceremony: that Fairley wasn’t nominated for an Emmy.
