Lord of Nutella Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hey guys, as I hope we will get the Tower of Joy in the show to reveal Jon's Parentage, who would you cast for Lyanna Stark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clair de lune Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 http://i.picresize.com/images/2015/02/08/oMAbW.jpgOona Chaplin (but only in a Robert's Rebellion movie/miniseries context...not if it's done on GoT) http://i.picresize.com/images/2015/02/08/nvcy.jpgEmmy Rossum http://i.picresize.com/images/2015/02/08/jxCJR.jpgKaya Scodelario I've provided a photo of each of my suggestions. I tried to simply embed the photo but it seems this forum is disappointingly strict about posting photos from what I can tell lol. I even went to the trouble to resize all the photos for a message board setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcasinoroyale Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I always thought Gemma Arterton for Lyanna Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clair de lune Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Here's a photo of her so that people don't have to go on a wild goose chase through Google images:http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/_pinkpornstar_/1198725/329031/329031_original.jpg IMHO she looks 100% wrong for the part.

My second choice was Kaya Scodelario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Nutella Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 arterton...not right for the part. She looks a bit mediterranean, that doesnt fit. And IIRC, Lyanna is said to have been remarkably slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Kaya Scodelario has always been my head cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Is she his mother for a fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not a fact, just a popular fan theory with plenty of textual evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtMaester Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I always thought Gemma Arterton for Lyanna Stark.That would be a big joke. Not even close. I'd say someone in the mould of Liv Tyler... Younger off course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Nutella Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Liv Tyler?Seems a bit too "fair" to me. But that is probably just because of her performamce as Arwen in LotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If they ever cast Lyanna and Rhaegar, it would be really important that they look convincingly like they could be Kit's parents. That means that people who perfectly match the book descriptions would not be the right choice, since Kit doesn't quite match Jon's description. Instead, at least one of them should have brown eyes, and one of them should have curly hair; and it would be nice if Lyanna's hair is really dark like show!Jon's. The show may not otherwise pay attention to such detail, but it should if the viewers are supposed to draw conclusions about Jon's secret parentage.

Here's a side by side of Kit and Emmy Rossum: http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2014030/rs_1024x759-140130111559-1024.kit-Harington-game-Of-Thrones.jl.013014.jpg and http://i.picresize.com/images/2015/02/08/nvcy.jpg And here's Bill Skarsgard who I think would make a good Rhaegar (unfortunately there's no photo of him with targaryen hair) http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/34500000/Bill-bill-skarsgard-34587995-1354-2048.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of the Dreadfort Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Eva Green for sure; or Emmy Rossum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newstar Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Adelaide Kane (Mary) from Reign, maybe. Very dark hair, brown eyes (like Kit's), very pretty. Still too old (24), but not that bad age-wise, especially when everyone's aged up in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Adelaide Kane (Mary) from Reign, maybe. Very dark hair, brown eyes (like Kit's), very pretty. Still too old (24), but not that bad age-wise, especially when everyone's aged up in the show. One complicating factor as far as age goes is what approach they take with Ned in the flashback. A lot of people really want Sean Bean back to play Ned in the flashback, in which case, you don't want to case somebody really young or it will just make it more obvious that Ned is being played by somebody in his mid-50s (however made-up they try to make him).

Lord of Nutella Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Makeup does much...if there is a ToJ flashback, Ned HAS to be Sean Bean. He is just perfect for those Boromir/ Eddard Stark/ honorable dude with sword roles, and he was THE main actor of s1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
