KingInTheCave Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If they include her people will keep comparing her to Tyrion and some will see her as the female version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlame Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Cut, pleeease! She was so boring in the books. Plus, given Tyrion's lightening, he won't be in as much need of a morality pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pero the first of His name Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I think they will pull of the same thing as they did with Beric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheirete Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I can't speak for everyone, but for me, cutting the character is more about pragmatism than cynicism... Don't get me wrong, I'd love 40 hours of GoT per season they can recreate the show down to the last detail, but without Penny, Jorah and Tyrion have many more options (for the writers) to arrive at Meereen. Penny is a cute/fun character, but not really germane to the plot.Until now she wasn't fundamental to the plot, but in the future only GRRM knows. If she appears in the show probably she will have an important role in the rest of the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Beyond the Wall Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Since the last we knew of her she was sick so not looking good for her character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 . Penny is a cute/fun character, but not really germane to the plot.She may not be germane to the plot, however there are already casting threads on this site for everybody from Black Balaq to Lady Merryweather, so I don't see why we have to suddenly draw the line at Penny.

Lord Elrosir Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I don't think any sane individual thinks that Black Balaq or Merryweather will be cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Jakkor Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Maybe they'll just shorten her involvement? Have her at the wedding feast, then have her show up for an episode or two in Season 5 when Tyrion is traveling where she confronts him and all that, but then shes goes her own way while Tyrion and Jorah go another. Then they'd be able to bring her back in in Meereen again if they chose to (or not). Basically cut out the boring parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pero the first of His name Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think they will pull of the same thing as they did with Beric.?????What did they do with Beric?What they did with Beric was hire an actor just to appear for 5 seconds in season 1 as Ned sends him after Gregor but then cast a new actor for real for season 3.They will very likely do the same with Penny, and it could just be a child actor. Or not, a proffesional actor is not even needed, just some kid who can ride a dog for 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Nobody is going to ride any dog on television. We will see two dwarf stuntmen in full helmets whale on each other during the wedding sequence. We won't ever see their faces, so any Penny casting will wait for a future season.

boojam Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 You know quite apart for the casting or Penny and Oppo , which , as someone noted, could be done with costumed stunt people and never introduce the characters....Are things all in place for the PW?The wedding takes place in the Throne Room, that's there, tho dressing that set is going to be interesting.All the request characters cast?Is Jamie going to be there? That's something I can't figure out.It was Jamie's arrival after the weeding and the trial too?... that led him to piece together the circumstantial evidence to strongly (very strongly) doubt Tyrion's guilt.

Not only is this an unneeded complication for the production, it's also not ethical to have people (regardless of their size) riding on a dog or even a pig.

In others word it can be easily cut. I for one am not interested in half a season of Tyrion moping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Tahu Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Would it be possible to start a poll to determine how many people think she will be cut and how many people think she will make it into the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fehler Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 She'll be in the show, but not cast yet (helmet). I think riding trained sheep/goats/pigs is definatly in the works. This is a royal wedding, it has to be BIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
