Certainly doesn't seem significant enough, to the show at least, to have to bring that character to conclusion. Are the BWB even important to the show beyond being necessary to the scenes with The Hound? It appears he may join them, but certainly an open question at this point.
Only having watched the show, the Freys getting weakened by the BWB isn't something I'd put together or suspect. As only a show watcher, that entire scene seems necessary only for bringing Jaime and Brienne together.
They could show us Stoneheart through one of Bran's visions (which would be a jaw-dropping season finale). But practically speaking, they really have to move on to larger plot lines in the final 16(?) episodes.
But maybe you can look at Coldhand, and perhaps even the Blackfish (he may not be dead, but as far as we know he is) and think the writers DO seem interested in giving readers some sort of closure.
On the other hand, Ramsey has been so, so, SOOOOOO horrible that only a particularly brutal death will do. Lady Stoneheart might be the only truly satisfactory option there.
Calling that ramsey Bolton meets his end at the teeth of Ghost... as he is about to finish jon snow... It would only be fitting with how he like to feed people to the dogs.
But all we know in the show about the BWB is that they are in the riverlands fighting for the people and are or were king Roberts men. its an angle they can use. maybe the hound becomes the new leader of the BWB and they use his story line that way. It seems hound vs mountain isn't gonna happen at ceresi's trail as we had hoped. since no more trial by combat's...
it could go a lot of ways but the freys need to go lol... they have to work that in as they broke guest right. Only issue with stoneheart now is shes been dead a long time so if she hasn't already been resurrected and is out there somewhere not sure if they could pull it off now. unless bran somehow interjects into the past. but I don't think there will be time to set that all up in the next 2 episodes. So I agree she might not be pausable. But the role she was playing in the destruction of the freys should be handed to someone.
