This may make some serious changes to the plot of the shows vs the books. I don't think in the books you will ever have that marriage finalized, yet i would think in the next four seasons it would have to be on the show, as the kid's 15.
15 is much too old for Tommen and I really do not like the change at all.
The point of his betrothal to Margery was that it was so odd, and obviously only done to placate the Tyrells.

Yeah, I'm a little concerned about the actor being 15. Tommen won't die until season 6 or 7 (assuming he does die)...which would make the actor around 18 by the time his part is done--that definitely seems old to me; and Jack Gleeson was 17/18 when they filmed the pilot and season 1, but he still looked young as Joffrey and he was 21/22 when he filmed his footage for this season. Not much of an age difference there between the eldest and youngest child. I wonder if they're going to use the same actress for Myrcella next season--Oberyn mentioned her being in Dorne last episode, so that Darkstar storyline has to come into play in S5.
