Nikolai Arryn Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 While I was watching Siobahn Finneran's performance as O'Brien in Downton Abbey, I immediately thought of her for the role because of her cold yet devious presence. I think she would nail the role and it'll be great seeing her exhanging lines with Michael McElhatton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 While I was watching Siobahn Finneran's performance as O'Brien in Downton Abbey, I immediately thought of her for the role because of her cold yet devious presence. I think she would nail the role and it'll be great seeing her exhanging lines with Michael McElhatton. Unless Lady Dustin has a huge role in TWOW that can't be taken by someone else, I'm sure that the character will be cut. Her main purpose in the book seemed to be to shed light on Brandon Stark and, by extension, the Ashara Dayne backstory, but those things are almost completely absent from the show. The show will have to elaborate on some of the backstory eventually (Rhaegar and Lyanna, they're already bringing up Elia because it's important for the Oberyn plot, later will be for fAegon), but I doubt that they'll ever bother with Ashara and Brandon's liaisons, she hasn't even been introduced as a potential mom for Jon/red herring as she was in the books.

msmolly Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah, unless she has a big part to play in WOW it's unlikely they'll have the character. However, if they did put her in with a decent amount of screen time, my no 1 choice would be Frances Barber. She would do Barbrey's acidic bitterness brilliantly.

SM4e Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I am pretty sure Lady Dustin will be in. She gives Theon some very important character development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryaNymeriaVisenya Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Helen McCrory would be my pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown ben romney Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 ive been watching orphan black and i think maria doyle kennedy would be perfect as barbrey dustin. i also think molly parker would be good as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russo Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 When reading I had Polly Walker stuck in my head for Lady Dustin. Not sure if she even fits the description but think she would be good anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxWolfox Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Now I'm torn between Miranda Otto and Polly Walker. :( I think they'd both be great at bringing Lady Dustin alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Gina McKee. Totally see her as Barbery Dustin. Solid choice. Someone on another thread suggested Keely Hawes. I could see her playing Barbrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearlthegirl Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 When reading I had Polly Walker stuck in my head for Lady Dustin. Not sure if she even fits the description but think she would be good anywayMe too. It's funny I re-appropriated a few ROME faces as I was reading but not in the way the show has cast these actors. I love the Lady Barbrey character tho, I hope she's in there! (Love me some Polly Walker too!)Looked up Gina McKee, yeah, she's a good option too!

I think she would nail the role and it'll be great seeing her exhanging lines with Michael McElhatton. Oooh I like that. I also like Gina McKee. My top pick though would be Helen McCrory. Another choice would by Jennifer Ehle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's obviously had a lot of plastic surgery and I don't think it would fit in the world. What about Helen McCrory, Kelly MacDonald, Jennifer Ehle, Sarah Parish, or Maria Doyle Kennedy?

Good Guy Garlan Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 You know who could have been a great Barbrey Dustin? Michelle Fairley, for realz! After seeing her play a villain in "24" I think she could have nailed it as Lady Dustin. And I think she'll be great as Stoneheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Arryn Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I think Anna Gunn might be another choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
