HBO might not have shown any footage for Game of Thrones season 2, but that hasn't stopped them from promoting it. A short teaser accompanied the Boardwalk Empire season premiere, and the network continues to highlight the upcoming season, along with fan-favorite and Emmy-winner Peter Dinklage. Leslie is the latest in a long line of notable actors to take a role in the upcoming season. The producers seem to have a penchant for UK actors and actresses with period piece experience, and considering how successful the first season was, it's hard to argue.
None of the new actors have a very high profile - Sean Bean, who won't be returning, remains the most well-known Hollywood name in the series. Remember Gwen Dawson? She was the ambitious maid who, with the help of Lady Sybil Crawley, realized her dream of becoming a secretary.
Leslie was only on the first season, but she does make a cameo later in season 6, the final season of the series. Because just as Ygritte and Jon were redefining what it means to spelunk a cave, the actors she 24 then, he 25 were falling for each other too. And even though— spoiler alert —Ygritte meets her fate during the attack on Castle Black, the story of Harington and Leslie has many more chapters, including a joint appearance on Saturday Night Live in April As if it were ripped from the pages of D.
Her father, Sebastian Arbuthnot-Leslie, is chieftain of the Aberdeenshires. For anyone tracing the roots, that makes Leslie and Harington very distant cousins.
I feel duty bound to reveal that Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are distant cousins. They're both descendants of Charles II. And for Leslie and Harington, who tried desperately to keep their romance under wraps, that happened reportedly four years after their first date.
The two looked smitten at the Olivier Awards in London. Rose Leslie fought The Good Fight for three seasons. An original cast member, she starred as lawyer Maia Rindell in the courtroom series. Season 4 of The Good Fight begins litigation most likely this spring. Share this page:. Around The Web Provided by Taboola. Details only on IMDbPro ». Trending Stars at Comic-Con.

On the way she argues with Jon, saying that the North belonged to the Free Folk long before the Andals came. Ygritte tells Jon that, as both Northerners and the Free Folk are descendants of the First Men , there is no sense in the two constantly fighting. After luring Jon off his guard by attempting to seduce him, she manages to escape again and lead him into a wildling ambush. Ygritte brings Jon to the Lord of Bones , who orders him executed.
She convinces Rattleshirt that Mance will want to question Jon because of his Stark blood. The Lord of Bones presents Qhorin, whom he had captured. The Halfhand openly blames Jon for the deaths of his men, and this discord intrigues Ygritte. Unbeknownst to Ygritte, Qhorin's outward rage toward Jon is actually a plan to install Jon as a spy within Mance Rayder's army.
During their way to meet with Mance Rayder, Ygritte continues to toy with Jon. Qhorin communicates a plan to Jon, through which Jon would appear to desert the Night's Watch and join up with the wildlings. He insists that Jon and he fight and allows Jon to kill him. Ygritte and the rest of the band are stunned, but accept Jon as one of their own and free his hands. Jon is shocked to see a giant among the tents.
While the group is walking through the camp to Mance Rayder's tent, some young boys pelt Jon with ice and stones, Ygritte protects him and shoos them away.
When they arrive at Mance Rayder's tent, she tells him not to look so grim, "If Mance Rayder likes you, you'll live another day. And if he don't Ygritte later travels with Jon and Mance as they march slowly south towards the wall.
They encounter one of his scouts, Orell. Ygritte is surprised to find that Jon has never seen a warg before. They survey the bloody aftermath of the assault on the Night's Watch by the White Walkers and their army of undead wights. Before leaving the camp she playfully steals Jon's sword and makes him chase her into a nearby grotto. Ygritte starts undressing, and says that she wants to make sure Jon Snow has truly abandoned his vows.
She stands before him naked and kisses him. Jon is hesitant at first, but loses himself in his attraction to her and performs cunnilingus on a very surprised Ygritte. After sex, Jon and Ygritte lay together in a naked embrace, and she lovingly teases him about his former virginity.
They then leap into the hot springs and Ygritte expresses her reluctance to ever leave the grotto. Some time later, as the wildlings ready to climb the wall, Ygritte reveals she is aware that Jon is still loyal to the Night's Watch.
She understands that he is an honorable man, but warns him that he has obligations to her as well. While climbing, Ygritte causes a massive crack, which dislodges a large sheet of ice and sends several wildlings to their deaths. She and Jon are left hanging by their safety rope. Orell decides that Tormund cannot continue climbing with the weight of Jon and Ygritte's bodies pulling them down, and begins cutting the rope. Jon barely manages to get a hold in the Wall and saves himself and Ygritte when their rope is severed.
They reach the top of the Wall and share a passionate kiss, grateful to be alive after such a narrow escape. Ygritte, Jon and the wildlings are led by Tormund Giantsbane, then make their way towards Castle Black to await Mance Rayder's signal to begin the attack on the Night's Watch.
On their way there, when Ygritte mentions that they're going to take their land back. Jon tries to dissuade Ygritte of attacking the Wall, mentioning historical accounts in which all of the previous Kings-Beyond-the-Wall have failed. Ygritte protests, saying they'll be successful because Mance is leading them, but accepts that they may die. She tells Jon, "But first, we'll live. Along the way, Ygritte is confronted by Orell, who expresses his distrust of Jon and says he would make a much better husband.
However, he is flatly refused. Later, Jon tries to persuade Ygritte that the wildlings' cause is doomed to failure, but she refuses to listen. She tells him that if they die, they die, but before that, they will live. The two kiss passionately. Later, the wildling party prepares to raid an elderly horse breeder's home.
When the party attacks the farmstead, Jon surreptitiously hits a rock with his sword, alerting the old man and giving him the chance to escape. When Ygritte tries to shoot the fleeing man with an arrow, Jon causes her to miss by calling her name. The old man is later caught in an abandoned windmill. Outside the mill, Orell suggests that Jon prove himself to the wildlings by killing the man himself.
