The TROIKA casting website (rep. Michael Duff) have updated their database, and lo and behold: it seems we’ve found a gilly flower!
TROIKA’s site lists Hannah Murray’s current project as playing the role of “Gilly” (named by her mother for the gilly flower), for the upcoming second season of Game of Thrones. Gilly is one of many young women living with old Craster (yet to be cast)—a crotchety and blunt “friend” of the Night’s Watch. Gilly has a secret that threatens to sunder the already-uneasy peace between Craster and the northbound Night’s Watch.

**UPDATED**
UPDATED: HBO has since confirmed to us that the deal’s done, contracts signed, and Ms. Murray is on board. Exciting!

I never watched Skins, but know her from Above suspicion where she did a good job. Her look is pretty good for the innocent but wild Gilly.
ReplyDeleteA handful more photos of miss Murray while we wait for confirmation.
ReplyDeletethanks for the news
ReplyDeleteAnd this will make her the second Skins castmember to join GoT, after Joe Dempsie who plays Gendry.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I thought I recognized here
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I loved her on Skins and think she'll be perfect :)
ReplyDeleteShe looks perfect for the character.
ReplyDeleteShe looks perfect. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHannah Murray's casting as Gilly look amazing, she what I always pictured
ReplyDeleteOMG, I need to re-read NOW second book... XD I don't remember her... shame on me!!
ReplyDeleteOhoh! That's two minor characters you haven't recalled! One more and we may have to block you from the site ;)
ReplyDeleteWith a cast of literally 250-300 per book and over 750 total in the series (conservatively)..... I think we all have problems recalling every minor character. The Seven knows I do!
lol don't do it!! XD I promise I'll read it when I get it back!! I lent it to a friend so now I'm not even able to take a look through it... :(
ReplyDeleteIt's strange but I don't know how we can remember hundreds of characters of different books!! but yes, obviously, not even half of all! :P
Great news, Hannah is perfect! love her!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are much better. The one in the article looks like a rehab intake photo.
ReplyDeleteROFL
ReplyDeleteThe cast is so huge, I don't know how the author keeps track of everyone! I'm constantly flipping to the back of the book because I can't remember who's who.
ReplyDeleteGeorge R.R. Martin contacts Elio from Westeros, the Song of Ice and Fire fan site. His knowledge of the world GRRM created is actually better than GRRM himself!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a superfan! OR maybe an uberfan!
That was actually the intended purpose...
ReplyDeleteI wanted a somewhat crazy/wild and unkempt look look to represent the role - not the cute photos.
More than an uberfan! That's insane, I've just finished the first book and am already having trouble remembering names.
