5) Walder Frey
This will almost certainly be the most satisfying death in all of Game of Thrones, and that’s saying quite a lot for a show with so many despicable bastards.
Walder Frey has been one of the primary antagonists since season 3 after he was responsible for orchestrating the Red Wedding. Sure, Joffrey was a sadistic brat who ordered the beheading of Ned Stark, and Ramsay is a psychopath who tortures for fun. But Frey is the man who coordinated the most gruesome event in modern pop culture.
After being mysteriously absent during the past few seasons, actor David Bradley is set to return this year, and he can be spotted in the season 6 trailer. In fact, he appears to be at some sort of feast or wedding, which would be the ideal time for a northerner to seek revenge.
There are also some behind-the-scenes factors that point towards Frey’s death. In a surprisingly revealing interview that Sophie Turner gave to Yahoo, the Sansa Stark actress played a game of two truths and a lie. Her responses were that in season 6, Ramsay dies, Lady Stoneheart returns and Arya checks three names off her list.  Stoneheart’s presence is unlikely, meaning this is the lie and the other two are legitimate.
To summarize, Arya is evidently going to knock three people off her list during the same season that Walder Frey happens to be making a return. Hmm….
