Westeros Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 It’s interesting to read GRRM’s high praise (there are spoilers) for Tamzin Merchant—formerly cast as Daenerys in the pilot for HBO’s Game of Thrones—and her performance in the fifth episode of the Tudors. It’s very clear that he’s saddened that she will not be continuing on with the series. Obviously, the reasons for Merchant’s departure from Game of Thrones are unknown, and may never be revealed, but it does not seem very likely that it had to do with GRRM (and perhaps other producers?) having any issues with her performance.No decision has yet been made in casting for Daenerys Targaryen, from what GRRM has recently indicated, but we expect it will be nailed down by the end of the month or, at the latest, the beginning of next month.Visit the Site!

iheartseverus Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I so agree with GRRM--Tamzin's performance in last night's Tudors episode was riveting. Her character went from being an annoyingly giggly airhead in earlier episodes to that of a terrified woman-child facing her own certain death. I could feel Katheryn's blind panic, her mind-exploding terror as she was caught and trapped--she seemed a fragile broken bird that suddenly realized there was no escape--savage wolves were closing in all around her. I also like the way GRRM described Katheryn's last lonely dance as 'exquisite'--it was eerily graceful, lovely, in stark contrast to the ferocious killings of her friends and lovers going on simultaneously. Nice job, Tamzin. Very nice, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
