Ramsay knifed his father Roose in the heart, then killed his stepmom Walda.
But his main target was their newborn child who might have become his father’s new heir apparent.
“It shows a level of ambition we’ve not yet seen,” says Ramsay actor Iwan Rheon.
“His problem solving is quite basic.
Ramsay could have waited to find out whether his father stood by his illegitimate son.
But let’s face it: Ramsay’s not very comfortable with uncertainty, or demonstrating patience.
“He’s never ruled it out,” Hill says.
“What he cares most about is power.
As long as he was the sole son, the only possible heir, it was fine.”
“He doesn’t bear his mother any ill will,” Hill explains.
“She’s a very sweet woman in the wrong place, wrong time.”
“It’s not calculated, it’s reactionary,” the actor says.
“And it has an effect on him, which he didn’t expect.”
Agrees Hill: “Ramsay’s sad, he’s not acompletepsychotic madman.
He regrets having to kill his father.
