If they cut Stoneheart out of the show, it means to me that she doesn't really serve a purpose besides being a mute zombie who kills Freys. Martin's publisher must want to kill him.

Many people theorize that Jojen already died in ADWD (though it wasn't expressly stated) and that Bran ate his blood (unknowingly). In Bran's last chapter, Jojen is not well and then sort of disappears, and Bran then eats a "weirwood paste" that is blood red in order to help expand his greenseeing abilities. Sort of a coincidence. Killing Jojen on the show does give the theory a little more validity.
If Book 6 does not come out before the next season of the show, I expect a lot more book spoilers. On the other hand, the show has changed things so much, and added so much that never happened in the books, that it will be hard or impossible to say what is actually a book spoiler versus just being another show change. For example, I think Sansa's arc next season will be a total separation from her arc in the books. She and Littlefinger will have to move past the current books given where their story is now, and I don't think the way they do it on the show will resemble the book story very much other than perhaps where it leaves the characters at the end of it (Sansa killing Littlefinger would be my guess).
