'Game of Thrones' season 6 premiere spoilers: Tyrion's dead former lover rises from the dead?

Jon Snow is believed to be alive, but no one guessed or thought Tyrion's former lover Shae is still breathing. Sibel Kekilli, who played the character who supposedly died in the hands of Tyrion in season 4, was spotted on the Spain set where "Game of Thrones" season 6 is being filmed. She was photographed hanging out with Conleth Hill aka Varys and showrunner David Benioff.

It is still unclear what she is really up to but media outlets think that Shae will more likely be in some sort of a flashback or dream sequence rather than be revealed to be alive. Of course, there's also the possibility that she is only there to visit her friends and former castmates.

Before news about Shae's possible re-emergence in "Game of Thrones" season 6 made the rounds, there were reports that hinted Meereen will be enveloped by famine. This is after casting breakdowns (via the Independent), which include "an emaciated street woman in her thirties, a painfully thin woman living in extreme poverty with a starving baby" came about.

The scene these characters will be in is said to be filmed in Peniscola, Spain. Interestingly, Peter Dinklage was spotted dressed as his character Tyrion and Hill as Varys in the said location, and judging by the timing of the casting and the sightings, the said characters will somehow be majorly involved in a scene showing a famine-ridden Meereen.

However, it is unlikely that both of them will take care of the problem. Tyrion and Varys will share a scene following the storyline, but as far as addressing the food crisis, Independent hints that Varys will leave Tyrion the responsibility to deal with it and fix it.

"Game of Thrones" season 6 is the first season that isn't completely based on a book from the series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George RR Martin. The new season is said to premiere April next year.
