[Batman]

That was fast, HBO's legal team is good

[Arkash]

Yeah, and the actor playing Edmure in the video doesnt look like Edmure at all, more the Blackfish... too old.

[The Monkey]

It's just one audition, no reason at this point to think that actor's been cast.

And yeah, Cat is a good 10 years older in the show than in the book.  So that would put Edmure 40-ish.

I'm just glad we've finally got an indication that House Tully will exist in the series beyond the occasional passing mention.

For those who missed it, it was a rewritten version of the scene in ASOS Catelyn II where the Blackfish and Robb chide Edmure for his military blunder at the Stone Mill. The actor was auditioning for Edmure, and the guy holding the camera was apparently reading the lines for multiple other characters. No ironclad confirmation that one of those characters was the Blackfish but there were lines such as:

Quote

Will you please shut your damn mouth about the damn Stone Mill? And he’s not your nephew, he’s your king.

...You’re lucky I’m not your king. I wouldn’t let you wave your blunders around like a victory flag.
...I wanted to lure the Mountain into the West, into our country.

They're too profane for Cat and too presumptuous for a Northern bannerman, IMO, but perfect to introduce the Blackfish-Edmure dynamic to the TV audience, and note the reference to "our country" (the Riverlands). The circumstances around the Stone Mill have been tweaked a little:

Spoiler

They have retained the concept that Edmure engaged the Mountain too early because he wanted some glory, and that Robb's plan was actually to draw them west. But Tywin is not mentioned (because he is back at King's Landing at this point in the show), and the idea of drawing the Lannisters west so Stannis could take King's Landing is obviously gone. Instead the rationale was that if they could have drawn the Mountain too far west, encircled him, and killed him "because he's a mad dog without a strategic thought in his head."

The scene also mentions that in the victory Edmure took two hostages, Willem Lannister and Tion Lannister (changed from Tion Frey).

These are the kids Karstark kills.

HBO actually lists Edmure (but not Blackfish) on the Tully family tree on their website, so it's a no brainer that he'll actually make an appearance. I think Hoster will appear to, but likely very briefly.

He's supposed to be 10 years or so younger than Catelyn, so I'd take someone around 35 yo for Edmure.

Awww too bad I missed the video.
