I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Game Of Thrones' Iwan Rheon: "I want Ramsey Bolton to die an epic, horrible death" - Wales Online
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Game Of Thrones: Iwan Rheon wants his nasty character Ramsey Bolton 'to die an epic, horrible death'
The Welshman has made the admission after being involved in a controversial rape scene, which he says he wasn\'t happy to shoot
Game of Thrones\' heartthrob Iwan Rheon has revealed that he wishes to see his character killed off in an "epic, horrible death - preferably dragon related".
The 30-year-old Carmarthen actor, who has played the hit US fantasy show\'s sadistic and psychotic Ramsey Bolton since its third season, also admitted that he was reluctant to film the recent, controversial rape scene which caused uproar amongst even the most hardened fans of the gory series, with many labelling it as "gratuitous" and "disgusting".
"Of all the terrible things Ramsey\'s done - and there have been loads - that was by far the hardest to shoot," said Rheon, referring to the shocking moment a few weeks ago when his character brutally raped his new wife Sansa Stark(played by Sophie Turner) .

"It was a horrible, horrendous thing to do, and I remember having a little moment in my trailer beforehand.
"I was like, \'I\'m not sure I can do this; actually , I really don\'t want to do this\' - I was struggling, to be honest.
"But, in the end , I just had to pick myself up and get on with the job at hand - we both did, me and Sophie.
"After all, this sort of thing goes on in the world all the time - it\'s our duty as actors to try and portray such things as truthfully as possible.
"Plus, I didn\'t write the scene - the script is nothing to do with me," he jokes, adding that he never pays attention to reviews and passed on the chance to read all the righteous indignation heaped upon the scene by those fans on social media.
"I get that people feel very passionately about the show and want to have their say, but I try not to get involved in all that.
"I\'ve always been the same when it comes to what the critics say, be it good or bad.
"Because if someone writes that you\'re brilliant there\'s always the temptation to take your foot off the pedal, performance-wise.
"On the other hand, a bad review can knock your confidence and affect the way you play a character from thereon out."
And Iwan adds that Ramsey is a world away from Ash, the sweet, wide-eyed naif he plays alongside Sir Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi\'s squabbling gay neighbours in the ITV sitcom Vicious, the second run of which started last night.
"No, there\'s absolutely nothing redeemable about Ramsey" - dubbed The Bastard of the Dreadfort - "which is crazy really, because surely everyone has at least one good point."
"After all he\'s the illegitimate son of a lord and has always resented his lowly status, along with the fact that he\'s struggled to win acceptance from his father.
"But that\'s no excuse for how he is - he\'s just been left to his own devices for far, far too long."
As a result, Iwan adds that he\'d like to see Ramsey meet a spectacular end.
"It could happen at any time, that\'s the nature of the show - no one\'s really safe.
"That said, I\'ve just bought a flat in London so I hope that day doesn\'t come too soon," he laughs.
"But that day is definitely coming, no mistake about it - and I hope that when it does it\'s epically nasty, and preferably dragon-related.
"God knows I don\'t want him to become a White Walker," says Iwan, referring to GoT\'s ghostly race of forest dwelling creatures.
"I\'d hate to become a bloody zombie after all this."
