ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Have you recovered from the Red Wedding?
MICHELLE FAIRLEY: Yeah we did it, we shot it. We were very fortunate we had a week to shoot the whole wedding sequence and did it chronologically as well. By the end of the week you were getting nervous and you have to remain concentrated as well. But you have to remain because you have to do it right. You have to be in control, you have to be calm. You were just nervous, but in a good and productive way. It was amazing, actually.
At what point did you learn Catelyn’s fate?
I read the series so I knew what was coming and I also knew how many years I signed for. And it’s something that anyone who’s read the books will talk about it. So people take great delight in knowing what’s going to happen to you. There’s something incredibly dramatic and brutal about The Red Wedding, the shock of it. I met somebody who read it on the plane and they were so disgusted and heartbroken they left the book on the plane. It’s a challenge; it’s a life-or-death situation. For an actor to be given that part to play, you want to grab it and go straight into it. I loved it, absolutely. It was my favorite bit of filming in whole series. The intensity to detail — it was such a privilege to have David Nutter direct it, as well. He’s constantly pushing you and pulling you back. He knows what he wants to achieve and what he wants to get.

Gosh, to know that you are about to have your son killed in front of you and your throat ripped open makes her performance all the more good. I kinda wish she would have held the knife to the lord's throat and not his wife's.
