for the role of arianne, my suggestion is Emmanuelle Chriqui. For Doran, I say Alfred Molina, hands down.
Oh please, please, please, let that happen! Both would be outstanding and I miss me some Sloan!
I actually pictured Doran as a bit shorter and heavier than Alfred Molina, but there really isn't an actor that I can think of who looks exactly like the one in my mind's eye. In fact, I like Molina better than the one I imagined, so I think I'll picture Doran that way whether they cast him or not.

Emmanuelle Chriqui is too old to be Arianne IMO. Arianne is only about 5-6 years older than Jon. They should cast someone who is in their late 20s/not older than 30. Chriqui is almost 40.
As for the books passing up the show, I think the show will go 8 seasons. 10 is too many plus you don't want Isaac or Maisie to be in their mid 20s when the series ends or Kit and Emilia to be in their mid 30s.
I think they'll be able to start TWoW material in season 6 and that seasons 6-8 should cover TWoW and ADoS. Maybe a 9th season but definitely not 10.
I think David & Dan have every right to pass up George if they feel like they've covered what they could. Y'all have to remember that season 5 could potentially affect the Hodor viewership if they follow Feast & Dance verbatim. So, they're going to need to streamline and change up and cut some of the storylines. Or at least that's what I'd do.

Ages don't really cause issue with me. Almost any actor 20-40 can be made to look older/younger with makeup. Emmanuelle might be almost 40, but she certainly doesn't look it. The show hasn't made a big deal out of defining how old the characters are in realtion to each other. Only problems I see them facing are Rickon (Likely just be recast), Bran (stuck with this one), and Arya (same as Bran).
As far as the show passing up the books, I wouldn't watch them. Too much time invested in the books to let the show spoil anything for me. I realize the problem that they are facing with Sir Too Fat To Write, but I'm first and foremost a bookreader.

I like that choice. I liked her a lot in Dexter, and she is very pleasing on the eyes.

Not jealous of her but HBO will probably pick relatively unknown actresses for Val and Arianne. They'll probably cast actresses between ages 25-30 for those two roles.

Definitely their MO.

And they'll probably cast someone who is around the other actresses ages, around 25-30. Both of the suggestions for Arianne and Val are too old. It wouldn't be believable if Oberyn's niece is only 2 years younger than the actor.
Posted on 2/11/14 at 1:47 pm to ladytiger118
So you do think that Val will be in S6?
Posted on 2/11/14 at 1:58 pm to Analyze That
I think Val will be in S5. I don't think they'll cut her character; she's shaping up to be important.

I'm surprised we haven't heard of any new casting announcements yet. I wonder if they're keeping her under wraps?

I don't get the appeal of 'Dorkstar' (as the ASOIAF forum refers to him). No idea who they would cast as him. Did Arianne frick him? I don't remember if she did or not.
If I had to guess they have to show the Myrcella plot somehow; she hasn't been seen or mentioned since Season 2 when Tyrion shipped her to Dorne.

It's the ... And I am of the Night line that sends me rolling.
Arianne didn't frick him, but she was definitely turned on by his physical appearance.
I'm somewhat sure that Oberyn will mention that Myrcella is getting along quite well in Dorne. So I guess he'll be cast.

I like the theory that Darkstar is Oberyn's bastard with a Dayne woman. Would be a little too Targ-like for Arianne to frick him then.
I have no idea what future role Darkstar will play going forward in the next 2 books. What else could Doran use him for?

I was hoping Darkstar would be a Red Viper/Arthur Dayne hybrid and be involved in some good fight scenes.
Unfortunately hes only been a bitch, failing to kill a 7 year old and hiding the entire time afterwards iirc.
Last we see of him was when he tried to kill Myrcella right?

Yep.
Wasn't he acting on Doran's orders though?? Looks like I need to do a reread.

Maybe, I can't remember. If he was I think it was something the reader had to infer rather than Doran or someone else out right saying it though.
I need to reread and I want to do books 4 and 5 combined
Posted on 2/11/14 at 4:08 pm to Cockopotamus
Yeah, I'm really fuzzy on the details of everything that went down with Myrcella's crowning. I'm in the middle of a combined reread of AFFC and ADOD so I'll see it when I get to it (I just got passed Brienne meeting Nimble Dick)
