aFeastForDragons Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I know they can bring in and out characters very easy like Ramsey, Locke(Vargo Hoat), Ser Dontos but since Tyrion is now going to spend the rest of his time in a cell this season does this mean Penny has been cut? Personally I'm not a fan of the character but she does help with Tyrion's character development and may have a part to play in future books. Unless they introduce her in Volantis the same way but having no prior connection to Tyrion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Penny was a character I hated at first, but after a while I realised what her purpose was and I would be disappointed to see her cut from S5 onwards. She doesn't need a place in S4 though - they can skip her quite easily from this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Isn't the "Robb" dwarf kinda covered? that could be her. Or, she could be simply part of the troupe but she wasn't there because they didn't need a girl. It's even more tragic that they all got killed due to Cersei.

Koi No Yokan Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah, they don't necessarily need Penny at the wedding - she could still be introduced later and tell Tyrion that her brother was one of the jousters, thus connecting the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleFinger Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Good riddance if she doesn't make it in. Also I have a feeling it would be difficult to find a very good little person actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Also I have a feeling it would be difficult to find a very good little person actress. They do exist. House MD had 2. The daughter of that pair would be fine and I don't even have the resources of a casting agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van West Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Good riddance if she doesn't make it in. Also I have a feeling it would be difficult to find a very good little person actress. She was pretty good for Tyrion's development. She made him less rapey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilúvatar Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 As others have said, it's really not necessary for her to be at the wedding. She doesn't need to have seen Tyrion in person to identify him, if someone calls his name out.. In fact, even if there were no dwarves at all at the wedding, I wouldn't rule out Penny making an appearance because it's not necessary for her to have a brother at the wedding either. Her brother could just be some random dwarf who was mistaken for Tyrion and killed. I'm sure it's a lot cheaper for the show producers to hire one time guest appearance actors for the dwarf scene than it is to cast a season 5 regular now for only one brief scene.

Asshat by the Shadow Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I feel they could have at least had a woman be one of the jousters, then "recast" her in season 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 10th Penny King Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I wrote this in the main episode forum, but the Robb Stark dwarf had a deep voice yelling "I'm the king in the North." It will most likely be one of the performers will be her brother. I'm leaning to the one who plays Joffrey. He would have the blonde Lannister locks that would definitely make him a target. Then, the irony would kick in that Penny would be seeking vengence for "Joffrey." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 They could easily just not have had her at the wedding. However, I sincerely hope that she's just been cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could definitely be "Robb," as has been pointed out other threads. Also there may be no Penny. We don't know what will happen to her in TWOW, but I don't see her having staying power, and so far she hasn't been integral to the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanml82 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 She was pretty good for Tyrion's development. She made him less rapey. Well, I'm not sure the show will go that particular way with Tyrion anyway, so there is a lot less he needs to climb back during Season 6 compared with TWOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigocell Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Sometimes I wish people would just relax and not concern themselves with issues like this. Sometimes you just have to trust that the writers know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeheartsansa Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 IIRC it was her brother who was performing, not her. She may or may not have been at the wedding; it is a gargantuan affair and she could easily have been present but off screen. Maybe she was backstage in the green room or something?

JagLover Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 They could easily just not have had her at the wedding. However, I sincerely hope that she's just been cut. Me too The natural conclusion I would draw from Dany shortly moving into her Mereen material from ADWD while Tyrion wont be leaving KL into Ep10 of this season is that, thankfully, the bulk of Tyrion's ADWD material will be cut. I am fully onboard with Tyrion very swiftly joining Dany's court (if that is how it plays out in WOW). Aside from the end of "and now his watch is ended" the Dany storyline has often been one of the weakest on the show. Tyrion would much improve things from a dialogue/character interaction perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbershanks Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 They did use a female actress, Krysten Coombshttp://m.imdb.com/title/tt2832378/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_tt_cl_scOf course, this doesn't mean she will return, Penny will appear at all or if she does they won't use another actress.

"She" is actually "He". And he plays Badminton. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
