Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey Bids Farewell to Cersei Lannister: “I Loved Her”

So, you’ve had time to digest what happened in Game of Thrones‘ “The Bells.” It was…a lot. Warning, spoilers follow!

In the penultimate episode of the series, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) destroyed King’s Landing atop her dragon—and a lot of people died! But not all of them died at the hands and fire of Dany and Drogon. Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) died in each other’s arms, but first Jaime took out Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbæk).

Told you it was a lot.

After the episode aired, the actors behind some of these fan-favorite and fan-hated characters took to social media to bid adieu.

“There she goes. It’s been fun, and bonkers. I loved her. I am grateful for the opportunity. Massively thankful for your encouraging and supportive love along the way. And now her watch is ended (I know she’d never make it; Night’s Watch wouldn’t have her…but still…),” Headey posted along with several heart emojis.

She also shared some behind-the-scenes videos, like the one above, and photos, seen below along with tributes from Asbæk and Coster-Waldau.

The final episode of Game of Thrones airs Sunday, May 19 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
