I haven't read the books, but I get the issues with Stannis. I'm also not convinced he's dead. While Brienne is dutiful, she also doesn't seem the type to murder a helpless man. But he has no army, and literally nothing now...difficult to see what purpose he'll serve if he's still alive. An interview I read with the actress that plays Brienne - she's convinced he's dead (not in a what she thinks sort of way, but what she knows). But I will say Stannis got his ass kicked at Westerios, so maybe that all really isn't that much of a stretch.
I think the Lannister girl is dead. That seems a given to advance [what I expect] the coming conflict between Dorne and Westerios.
And people forget Theon and Sansa jumping off the castle. I don't think they're dead, either.
Kit Harrington said in a EW interview released at 10pm that he was told Jon isn't coming back... but that is what he has to say when asked that. There were articles about contract negotiations that said he was signed on for seasons 6 and 7, which he said were not true... but again, I think he has to say that right now. It would be stupid to have him die and immediately say "no, he'll be back".
They asked him what gift he got from the crew (like how Ygritte's actress got her bow and arrow) and he said he didn't get anything... so I'm thinking he's coming back.
I think Theon and Sansa survive. They know Winterfell better than any other person there, so I think they know where to jump to land on something that will soften the blow or some place they could jump to get away.
