5 Game of Thrones Characters We Think Won’t Survive Season 7
2. Cersei and Jaime Lannister
Both Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) Lannister are starting off in a pretty bad place going into season seven. It’s ironic because Cersei is now the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the most powerful woman in Westeros, yet she’s in the most danger she has ever been in before because she has enemies everywhere in the North, the South, the East and the West.

While the most obvious death Cersei can have is Dany (Emilia Clarke) sacking King’s Landing and Drogon squeezing into the Red Keep and burning her alive, we also can’t forget about the prophecy that she will be killed by the valonqar (aka. little brother). Cersei thinks that the “little brother” is Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), but there’s a pretty high chance that it’s going to be Jaime that will do the deed.
(POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT) There is a solid theory that has been floating around the Game of Thrones universe that Jaime is going to kill Cersei for the sake of the Seven Kingdoms just like he killed the Mad King (Dany’s father) all those years ago earning the title Kingslayer. There is also some theories going around that he will choke her with his golden hand, which would be a pretty brutal death even for Cersei to have her brother/lover kill her in that manner.
On the topic of Jaime, we also have him pretty high on our death watch as well. If he does indeed kill Cersei, we have a feeling he is going to end up going down with her not being able to handle killing the one woman he truly loved.
Jamie also is not in very good favor with Dany at this point either considering he killed her father, so there is a very good chance Dany will end up executing him if she sacks King’s Landing. We really, really hope this isn’t the case though and that Dany doesn’t live up to her father’s reputation by forgoing mercy since Jamie killing the Mad King saved thousands of innocent lives.
