If they paid the actor ( and gave him a raise ) to hang around the set in costume for a whole year, just to fool us all into thinking he is not dead, and then edit him out of every scene they shot, then I will be very impressed. I'll have to check the credits and see if it says "Kit Harington ... Key Grip."

You're a little too deep in the fantasy, I think.

If he really is dead, then Thorne will kill off a whole slew of other (sympathetic) characters, and the whole "Wall" thing becomes much less interesting. So then the Starks are mostly dead, the Lannisters are mostly dead, the Baratheons are all dead, the Wildlings are off in the woods, Dany is still boring, and Tyrion better become a ninja or something, or they won't have much of a show left.

Of course he is alive.
