Game of Thrones: Richard Madden on Robb Stark, Adolescent Crush, and Theon’s Betrayal


There had been many of the interesting changes to the characters which were introduced a year ago in Game of Thrones, yet easily one of the most pleasant to just watch the show consume its second season, especially because the hero’s journey taken by the young wolf Robb Stark. Robb Stark is played by Scottish actor Richard Madden, and season 2 began kicking in for the claimed King of the North winning battles and maybe even showing off so far – some shrewd logic, while stashing king’s ransom among his forces, Jaime Lannister. There's more to Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 9: Blackwater online this coming May 27, 2012. 
But exterminating the feisty Lannisters can be an impossible feat for a young man, and viewers recently even saw Robb strike into a couple of conversations with the raven-haired beauty Talisa, the latest of which certainly revealed Robb in the first blush of a crush.
  “Hmmm…,” he paused, after AccessHollywood.com asked if there were parallels among the young men. “I think it’s different. With Romeo, he’s kind of, very quickly head over heels and Robb’s got much more kind of reserve there, where he’s never been in a situation with a woman before, where he’s been taken by someone. Whereas I think Romeo [has] kind ofbeen there, he’s fallen in love how many times already…
“Robb’s never been there and he doesn’t know what it is yet. And also, rather than kind of knowing how much he likes this woman at this point, he’s just kind of surprised and intrigued by her, and wants to kind of get to know her, this woman that challenges him, and is a kind of light in the darkness for him,” Richard added. “He’s not taking it all too seriously yet
But as it turns out, the crush may have to wait.
In the previous episode, Robb found out Theon betrayed him, by using a small force to take Winterfell, killing Ser Rodrick and even proclaiming himself Prince Theon. The news, Richard said, is particularly hard for Stark family mom Catelyn, who is now unsure about the whereabouts of two more of her kids Bran and Rickon.  
“I think that’s part of him being so alone and then finding this woman, [Talisa], that’s a light in this darkness where she’s real with him and she challenges and pushes him, but she’s also changeable. If you can convince her, then she’ll run with that as well,” he added, hinting at things to come.
