"Game of Thrones" — HBO's hit television series based on George R.R. Martin's hit novel franchise — has been under the spotlight since news about season 7's ongoing production has struck the internet. Over the past few months, plenty of rumors regarding the 7<sup>th installment's plot has spread around the internet, and one even suggests an unpleasant reunion for the Stark children.

Ever since season 1 of "Game of Thrones," the Stark children have been separated from one another. Even until now, with everything that has been going on in Westeros, the remaining Starks have not been able to see each other.

In season 7 of "Game of Thrones," it is said that fans will get to see Arya (Maisie Williams), Sansa (Sophie Turner), and Bran (Isaac Wright) reunited in Winterfell after being separated for years.

Unfortunately, the long awaited Stark family reunion will not be as great as fans would expect. Apparently, years of being apart has made the Stark children complete strangers, which is why some speculations say that the Stark children will not be too pleased to see one another.

According to recent speculations, Arya and Sansa will have some tension between them, especially since they both parted ways hating each other back in season one after the latter lied about Geoffrey (Jack Gleeson) being attacked by Arya and her friend, the Butcher's son.

Sansa's lie has then led to the death of Arya's dire wolf Lady, and Arya's friend was then killed by the Hound (Rory McCann) under Geoffrey's orders. Furthermore, other speculations suggest that Petyr Baelish (Aiden Gillen) will be taking advantage of the rift between the Stark children for his own dark agendas.

On another note, other speculated plots suggests that Jaimie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) will have an army going against Daenerys's (Emilia Clarke) Dothraki and Unsullied army. What's more is that Jaimie is said to finally see Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), who happens to be Daenerys' advisor, once again.

"Game of Thrones" season 7 is expected to come back on air sometime in Spring 2017.
