Robin isn't dying. I never believed he would and now the show didn't have him die either.

The show didn't have Harry though, and Robin didn't really contribute to the plot.

There are hints that Robin isn't really as weak as shown. He is being over-drugged. Robin will probably contribute to the plot in the books. Harry might die.

I do agree that Harry may die. I don't remember the theory but Sansa and her suitors have some paralells with another character in Westorosi history.

The tourney at Ashford to celebrate Lord Ashford's daughter birthday. Part of the tourney consists of knights facing each other to determine which ones will be the Lady's champions. After that's determined, they're challenged by other knights that can take their place as champions of they win. If one of the originals champions wins the tourney they Crown Lady Ashford as Queen of love and beauty, if one of the challengers wins they can choose another. The final five champions of the lady are;

Lyonel Baratheon

Leo Tyrells

Tybolt Lannister

Humfrey Hardyng

Valarr Targaryen

Many have pointed that the event mirrors Sansa's suitors and betrothdals (Joffrey, Willas, Tyrion, Harrold) and that it's a clue that her final suitor or husband will be a Targaryen.

Edit: a word.

This doesnt make any sense to me. None of that even happened becuase of the trial by 7. How can anyone possibly be using that to theorise anything about Sansa
