Well, it could have gone worse.
And Jaime responded by promising vengeance.
When someone you love is in pain, you want to do anything to comfort them, said Coster-Waldau.

We can do this.
Were going to fight back.
Were going to take revenge.
Because hes never seen her this broken before.
And now he wants her back.
You have the religious uprising.
Its a tricky situation.
Coster-Waldau notes that things have definitely been strained between Jaime and Cersei for quite a while.
She hasnt been happy with him for a long time, says the actor.
And I think now she needs him.
And I think he is, for now, happy to step up.
But shes not an easy lady to deal with.
(You dont say!)
So what does that mean for what happens next?
We asked Coster-Waldau what we can expect for Jaime coming up.
His fathers gone, Tyrions gone, hes all Cersei has now, says Coster-Waldau.
Its hard to control him.
So he has to deal with that.
He has to deal with him.
Thats what hes gonna do.
Lets hope a Walk of Shame is not in Jaimes future.
It will also be interesting to see which other characters he ends up interacting with in season 6.
In episode 1 of the whole [series] I had one scene with Bran, says Coster-Waldau.
Then I pushed him out the window.
And he was just a kid then.
Now hes grown into this young man.
I think it would be interesting to see how that encounter would play out.
I have no idea if thats ever going to happen.
Interesting is certainly a word for it.
