As for your main cast decisions:
-Brienne isn't in the main cast still? Damn, the Wench has been on the show since season 2.
-Ramsay the sausage eater should be in the main cast as well. He's going to be around for a while. Same with Asha.
-The Red Viper should be billed as a main character to make his death shocking with the Hodors, like when Sean Bean received top billing in S1.

And next season we'll lose the following characters of the main cast:
Tywin Lannister
Joffrey Baratheon
The Red Viper
Ygritte
The Hound (at least for Season 5)
Bronn (at least for Season 5)
Varys (iffy, since you could easily restructure Varys' story to go with Tyrion)

Don't forget Lysa Arryn

. I know she's not in the main cast but she dies as well

.

Varys doesn't reappear until he kills Pycelle and Kevan, but I'm thinking for continuity's sake that he'll appear every now and then.

As for Bronn, no idea what to do with him since Lollys isn't in the show. That would've been so funny to watch that plot though.

I'm also starting to wonder if Gendry will be MIA for a season or two, unless they show him at that inn that was in that one Brienne chapter.

Now that I think about it, a lotttt of characters die in the last portion of ASoS. The Hodors shouldn't be mad at GRRM and the showrunners for introducing new characters to take the place of the deceased characters, but who knows. I recently started re-watching Season 1 and while watching it, I thought "Damn, most of these characters are are dead and have been dead for a while."

quote:
So Season 5 I think they'd add to the main cast:
Daario Naharis (he's basically going to replace Brown Ben Plumm)
Barristan Selmy
Loras Tyrell
Val

Agree with all of that. I think Arianne will be introduced in season 5, but probably not as a main character. And YES, Val needs to be in Season 5. No wait, she needs to be introduced in Season 4, since Stannis is going to let Jon decide if he wants to be the Lord of Winterfell. Have Val and Dalla even been mentioned on the show?? I have a poor memory.

Also, are there going to be any Sansa Littlefinger creepy scenes in Season 3 leading up to the forced makeout in the snow? Some of those scenes, mostly in AFFC, were

. I think it was the last Alayne chapter when he kisses her full onthe mouth, tells her about her betrothal, and begs for some kisses that aren't 'dutiful'.

ETA: In season 5, will Aurane Waters and the other council members that Cersei selects be introduced?

I think so, briefly, when Jon meets Mance after he kills the Halfhand. Even if they haven't, they'll have plenty of opportunities with the Mance/Dalla/Val/Gilly storyline.

There would pretty much have to be, it's why Lysa flips out, which leads to the Moon Door scene.

There really is enough in just the remainder of ASoS to fill up season three. I think that they will carry Dany's story past her taking Mereen, Jorah's betrayal and exile and may get us as far as Drogon eating small children.

I don't see them getting beyond Stannis' offer to Jon to become Lord of Winterfell.

I think the Red Viper and Tywin both die in episode 9.

I think Arya only sticks around Westeros for the first few episodes and then it's off to Braavos. I would say that they could bring her all of the way to the Blind Girl, but she would have had to kill Dareon, which means that Samwell's story would have to be much farther along, and I'm not sure they get there.

Bran should make it all the way to the cave. His story isn't as intertwined with the other storylines at this point, so they could drive on.
