This major character won't be in Sunday's 'Game of Thrones'

If you're still reeling from Sunday's Lannister revelation on Game of Thrones, you're not alone. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, said his character is so excited to be a father (again) that he's sitting out Sunday to celebrate.

"Jaime's gonna be a dad," Coster-Waldau told Yahoo! News. "Which is why he's not in episode 6 on Sunday, because he's so excited he's decorating the nursery. And he's chosen green cause he's like I don't wanna be -- I don't wanna jump to conclusions. So it's all green, he's got his baby bjorn ready, he is excited."

"It was very unpleasant. You know this is not a good situation," Coster-Waldau told Vulture on Friday of the pregnancy. "I mean, I don’t think these people should have any more children! Jaime knows that this is not necessarily great as well. But if this dream is the one thing you want more than anything your whole life, you can’t help yourself."

"He experienced it for a second with Myrcella — what it felt like to be a father and have his daughter tell him that she’s happy that he was her dad — but it was taken away from him the second after," he elaborated. "Now, the idea that you don’t have to live a lie, you can have a son or daughter and this can be beautiful, he forgets the reality of their situation and he’s happy."

The actor explained the allure for Jaime in finally being able to share his love publicly, but that doesn't change the fact that Cersei is rapidly drowning in paranoia. We may still see her even if we don't see Jaime -- but don't expect that to bode well.

Game of Thrones returns Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO.
