"Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin has described the Red Wedding as &amp;quot;the hardest scene... ever... to write&amp;quot;. The most recent episode of the HBO drama - which is based on Martin&amp;#039;s fantasy novels - saw both Robb (Richard Madden) and Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) killed off in brutal fashion.  &amp;quot;That was the hardest scene I&amp;#039;ve ever had to write,&amp;quot; the author told Entertainment Weekly. &amp;quot;It was like murdering two of your children. &amp;quot;I try to make the readers feel they&amp;#039;ve lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it&amp;#039;s a superficial experience isn&amp;#039;t it?&amp;quot;  Martin added that he knew &amp;quot;almost from the beginning&amp;quot; that Robb and Catelyn would die, explaining that it helped Game of Thrones remain &amp;quot;unpredictable&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I killed Ned [Sean Bean] because everybody thinks he&amp;#039;s the hero and that, sure, he&amp;#039;s going to get into trouble, but then he&amp;#039;ll somehow get out of it,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The next predictable thing is to think his eldest son [Robb] is going to rise up and avenge his father. And everybody is going to expect that. So immediately [killing Robb] became the next thing I had to do.&amp;quot; Richard Madden previously described filming his final scenes on Game of Thrones as a &amp;quot;big, emotional moment&amp;quot;. The series continues on HBO in the US and on Sky Atlantic in the UK. &amp;gt; Game of Thrones George RR Martin gets comic biography - pictures Watch a promo for the next Game of Thrones below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
