Yes, wtf. Time for a re-set.

This is the WIC scuttlebutt re: Damphair...

In casting news, Watchers on the Wall reports that an unidentified actor has been cast as Aeron Greyjoy, Balon’s religiously devout brother and the guy who calls the Kingsmoot in the books. HBO’s version of the Greyjoy family tree didn’t previously include Aeron on it, so it’s unclear whether that actor is actually playing Aeron, or perhaps a different Drowned Man, the priests of the Ironborn religion. It’s also possible that, with an extra season to work with, the producers figured they had time to include secondary characters like Aeron, where before they thought them extraneous.

lets assume they would have recognized Ian at least walking around the set between shoots. who the fuck else has a small but important role? maybe Oswell Whent or Gerold Hightower from the ToJ scene?

[wts]

He'd make a good damphair though.

Good Randyll Tarly

Given the parameters we've been given about McShane's role, I'm guessing this role (although i don't know who this character is book-wise):

Lord Of Noble Northern House

This may be the most crucial casting pick of all. The role is described as a “savage warrior [that] rules a distinguished house in the very far north, and the role is said to be an impactful one.” He may only be in two episodes, but it may a couple of the most important we’ve seen so far.

maybe Wyman Manderly? a new lord Umber?

Maybe. Either way, this seems like showrunner invention, as it doesn't really fit Manderly and we've met Greatjon already. But, I do like the idea that someone in the north, a proper man of the north, will rise up and start to undermine the Boltons. They just can't leave that to Littlefinger (can they?).

Ahhh, only 8 more months...

Hmm, for all we know that could be a Mormont they created for the show. It might one of those clan leaders that followed Stannis. I don't remember their names and they weren't all that important individually but in the books they're still following him to Winterfell. Maybe it's a Glover and somehow they're weaving Deepwood Motte into the show.

That's the thing: the show has gotten so far away from the books we literally have no idea who the hell this character could be.

It can't be Manderly unless they're planning on reinventing him.
