Tell me this isn't true :(

I hope that this is not true... very upsetting and little else has upset me about the series before this...

Yeh they have stated Trystane as the heir to Dorne....so Arianne's role has either changed or has been cut completely from the show. I think the latter is more likely

Because why explore inheritance rights in Dorne when you can have a mushy romance between trystane and myrcella?

I don't think Arienne has been cut, they probably say Trystane is the heir so Arienne and the viewers think he's the heir until some badass reveal happens about Dornish law.

Arienne can't be cut, they must be looking for the perfect actress.

unfortunately i don't share your optimism :crying:

Yeah she's gone, replaced by a combination of Ellaria and olderTrystane, who will later take Quentyn's role via Meereenese jetpack

Something still needs to happen to turn the Martells against Dany. Quentyn and Aegon both contribute to this, so I doubt that both would be fully cut. The only way that could work in the show is if the Martells start out against the Targaryans from the start... but then that doesn't gel with the Oberyn stuff we've already seen. TV-Martells already have their motive for a Targaryen alliance.

If their plan is to flesh out the sand snakes and make them more rounded characters, which appears to be the case, then the Arianna character becomes unnecessary.

*facepalm*

They're not going to show us every new character. IIRC the new cast video for season 4 also left out some important characters

Was there even a casting video for S4? It seems to be but the casting of Oberyn and Ellaria came out separately and then we got random announcements like Mace and Tycho Nestoris (the latter actually being broken at a con, maybe even Comic Con, I don't know all these cons seems the same to me :p)

Great move by the show. Arienne had so many chapters and I still couldn't tell you offhand who she is, what she's like and what she wants. Theon's sister ought to get whacked too.



The show needs to absolutely mecilessly burn through the fat of book 4/5. They should be well into the endgame territory by the end of season 5 (meaning, past Dance) if they want to have a decent conclusion at season 7.

We have to get at least one Greyjoy uncle. This is because Balon has to die. And Asha doesn't get the seastone chair, so who will oppose her? Theon is currently unavailable so there must be at least one uncle!!



If Asha becomes queen of the seastone chair then i can't see her actions in taking and keeping deepwood motte justified. So then it changes her whole arc

Arianne as a character is really in a shitty place, plotwise.



I think she'll actually play an important part in the endgame, but before that she's stuck in a mostly pointless Queenmaker plot



So with that storyline and the lousy POVs in Dorne I think poor Arianne suffers from a less than ideal introduction, sadly
