'Game of Thrones' season 5 spoilers: Lady Stoneheart will not be returning, character is dead

"Game of Thrones" fans may no longer see Lady Stoneheart in the hit TV series, according to Michelle Fairley.

Actress Michelle Fairley, who plays the role of Catelyn Stark or Lady Stoneheart, said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that her character will no longer return to the series. "The character's dead. She's dead," she said.

The quickly added that the producers told her Lady Stoneheart will probably never be revived. "I knew the arc, and that was it. They can't stick to the books 100 percent. It's impossible— they only have 10 hours per season. They have got to keep it dramatic and exciting, and extraneous stuff along the way gets lost in order to maintain the quality of brilliant show," the actress said.

It was initially speculated that Lady Stoneheart will be revived from the dead and will re-join the cast next season after actress Lena Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister, dropped some spoilers on her Instagram feed for the fans of the show. Lena Headey posted a photo on her Instagram. The photo showed several stones arranged in a shape of a heart. Earlier reports claimed that she will be part of the season 4 finale, but she went missing in action.

It was thought that Catelyn will transform into the new persona of the vengeful Lady Stoneheart and will lead the Brotherhood without Banners to a vengeful path, hunting down everyone she feels responsible for the downfall of the House of Stark as well as the crime that happened at the Red Wedding.

Fans who have read the book know that Lady Stoneheart will make a comeback. However, this may no longer be the case.

There is no word yet as to when the fifth season of "Game of Thrones" will come back on air on HBO.
