The final season of the popular HBO show 'Game of Thrones' was a bloodbath, which saw the largest number of major character fatalities in the drama's 8-year-long journey. At least a dozen of the characters met their end over the course of the last season. However, it turns out, one of the most tragic death scenes in the eighth season wasn't actually supposed to happen. One of the deceased characters was originally supposed to survive through the entire series, reported Entertainment Weekly.

If you are thinking it was Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke), hold your horses, it wasn't. It was rather her protector and friend Ser Jorah Mormont (portrayed by Iain Glen).
