Real leeches don't hurt, except emotionally -- their mouths secrete an anesthetic so you don't notice them. And the wound they leave keeps bleeding for a while, because there's also anticoagulants. Pretty neat except for the part where they're feeding on you.
Anyway, kudos to Sophie Turner. Who is playing someone so fragile and miserable. Sansa has been so emotionally battered that when a reasonable human or two (Margaery and Tyrion) comes into her life she can't trust enough to confide in
I also feel like I should speak up for Jack Gleason (aka Joffrey) who has one of the most thankless acting jobs and carries it off so well.
Joffrey is excellent and so hateable. He really does a good job.
Everybody in the cast seems compelled to mention as often as possible that Jack Gleason is the sweetest, nicest guy you'll ever meet. Which is absolutely fine, because Joffrey really is the worst, and he's wonderful in the role, and very much deserves to be seen as a separate person from that horrible, horrible little shite.
The actor also has been experiencing a lot of harassment and has contemplated leaving acting. So I think people are protective of him.
I read in an interview with him somewhere that one of his inspirations for Joffrey is Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. I can see some similarities in the physicality of the characters.

G-d, people really, really suck.

Yes, Sophie Turner mentioned in that interview that he was one of her favorite people to act against.
I always worried about Tom Felton after all those years as Draco, but Draco looks like a fuzzy kitten next to Joffrey.

Yes, but these are Westeros leeches.
