In the interview, Martin says he hopes to use the character of Jaime as a way to explore redemption.
One of the things I wanted to explore with Jaime, and with so many of the characters, is the whole issue of redemption. When can we be redeemed? Is redemption even possible? ... Woody Allen: Is Woody Allen someone that we should laud, or someone that we should despise? Our society is full of people who have fallen in one way or another, and what do we do with these people? How many good acts make up for a bad act? ... I want there to be a possibility of redemption for us, because we all do terrible things. We should be able to be forgiven. Because if there is no possibility of redemption, what's the answer then?

There is your proof, now STFU
No this isn't proof because the article is clearly talking about the books and how they diverge from the TV show. Hence why they talk about the sex scene next of Joffery's corpse being consensual in the books but rape in the TV show.
So all this proves is that Martin wants to explore whether redemption is possible for Jamie in the books. However, as you already admitted, the books diverge from the TV show and Jamie in the books doesn't stand there and do nothing after Tommen kills himself because in the books Tommen is not dead.
So you are being dense. I was never referring to the books when I discussed Jamie's redemption as I made it quite clear that from my perspective, Jamie's chance for redemption ended when Tommen hit the pavement. That obviously is a reference to the TV show not the books because again Tommen isn't dead in the books.
You are claiming it's not speculation because it's in the book after already admitted the books diverge considerably. That's just stupid. Jamie in the show diverges considerably from Jamie in the books.
