The whole story arc of Jaime was evolving outside of Cercei's toxic influence.His arc in Feast of Crows showed his evolution into a capable leader in the campaign in Riverlands.The tv adaption didn't handle Jaime that good,but i hope that he well shine in the last season.

A little element I picked up, the actor playing Roose Bolton said that in the books Roose has moments where he takes baths with leeches. Which sort of imply he was some sort of a vampire. When I went back, I picked up several moments that make me think the Boltons had Dracula inspiration either from the Impaler or the fictional vampire.
For one thing the actor playing him would make a great Dracula from his voice to his presence, ravishing Evil. He has a Dracula-Reinfeld relationship with his son Ramsey. Ramsey does come off like a vampire from his pale look to his villainous personality. The Boltons are notherners with vicious mean streak, they use fear as a weapon as we see from their banners like Vlad the Impaler. In the old episodes, Roose never drink....wine.
BTW, If you go with that and you realises that Cersei's Hand of the Queen was Roose's Maester. Which would mean that Victor Frankenstein was working for Dracula, maybe?
Yeah... thats what I was thinking too... maybe with a little masochism thrown in... the Boltons were so screwed up that its impossible to tell, but vampires were never mentioned, or even alluded to in the entire ASoIaF series...
As a side note, as much as I enjoy the books and TV show as entirely different story telling platforms... S5 took me right out of the show... I get that the show has to deviate from the books... but Sansa willingly traveling to Winterfell to marry a Bolton is among the dumbest, most out-of-character decisions a showrunner has ever made, ever...
Especially with Ramsey being openly infamous in comparison to his calculating father.
It's funny,Roose Bolton's actor read the first two books in order to get his character better,but he started to see deviations and decided to stop reading the source material in order to follow the script better.Barristan Selmy's actor had read all the books and he was dissapointed how his character ended in the show.

I wonder how many of the actors have actually read the books?
Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke had read the books.I don't remember if Clarke read all the books,but Kit read them all,which is funny as i always found his Jon Snow to be too wooden and boring.
Alfie Allen(Theon) read the first 2 or 3 books and i think that Maise Williams mom read the books and told her the basics of her character(her mom thought that the book was way hardcore for her age when she took the role of Arya).

Yeah, leeches in a bath don't mean the humans could be vampires. The leeches are the vampiric ones, not the humans.
I'll bet the actor who plays Samwell has read the books.
Original join date: sometime in 2002
Yea John Bradley has probably read the books. The actress playing Dany's translator has read them.
Actor Charles Dance upon asking if he read the books said "are you crazy, have you seen them, they are huge volumes!". He seems to be a well-read educated guy so that is surprising but at the same time I like that somehow about him. But at one point a reader started to engage a conversation with him around 2011/12 or so and revealed to him that he was gonna die and how. Dance said this in an interview around the same time. So he is probably the only cast member that has a revealed a huge spoiler in the whole running of the show. I don't know how many people picked up on it but it didn't seem that many noticed. Anyway who is gonna say to Charles to shut the Hell up? lol
Lyanna Stark:

is the perfect woman.
No wonder they cast her as Lyanna. That whole feminine beauty and innocence that comes through in that song makes her the ideal girl to portray an iconic tragic female beauty of a medieval story .

In the ASoIaF forum, the most prominent dream casting for a "Roberts Rebellion" prequel, was Chris Hemsworth as Rheagar, Eva Green as Lyanna, and Tom Hardy as Robert...lol
