16.  Talisa and Robb Needed More Time

As Talisa is not in the books, the show could have given us a little more time with the two of them. Their relationship was new, they were just starting to build a family, and then the Red Wedding happened. It’s not that we necessarily needed it to happen later, just give us more glimpses into their relationship.

They were on the way to being the King and Queen in the North with an heir but then they were both brutally murdered and all our hearts were ripped out and it was terrible for us all. (Not really, just terrible for those of us who wanted Robb to somehow survive the Red Wedding.)

So if Robb was still alive, we could have a little more time with the two of them. We could see their relationship develop and really get to see them turn into a couple that we can root for. Because while we loved them and we wanted them to do well, we didn’t really know them as much as we could have.

If Robb and Talisa were still on the show, we could have gotten so much more out of a pretty stable relationship and that would have been nice.
