'Game of Thrones' Season 7 production update: Two girls audition; Miltos Yerolemou (Arya's dance teacher) may return
Two new characters will be cast for “Game of Thrones” Season 7. The producers have already started the auditions for the roles. Meanwhile, Miltos Yerolemou teased the possibility of his character still being alive and returning someday.
The producers are currently looking to cast two characters in the North for a “high-stakes scene.” According to a previous casting announcement the roles are of a 16 year old Northern girl and a 10 year old Northern boy. The Yorkshire Academy of Film & Television Acting (YAFTA) Talent Agency announced on Twitter that two girls have auditioned for a role in the TV series, Watchers On The Wall reports.
The two girls who auditioned for the role are Lottie Cheverton and Hannah Waring. The tweet has since been deleted, presumably after the producers wanted it taken down. It should be noted that parts of the script were leaked last year from the audition process, revealing important details about the new Red Priestess Kinvara (Ania Bukstein) and her interaction with Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Varys (Conleth Hill).
Meanwhile, Yerolemou (Syrio Forel) has kept the hope alive for his character to return in “Game of Thrones” Season 7. Speaking with Digital Spy, the actor said that he wants to return to the show. On the question of whether or not Arya’s (Maisie Williams) dance teacher is still alive, the actor said that he has his own theories while the producers have theirs.
A big fan theory about the character states that Syrio and the Faceless Man are one and the same. The theory stems from the fact that Jaqen H’ghar (Tom Wlaschiha) appeared right after the dance teacher’s possible death scene. Some contend that the character has always been with Arya and has been watching over her, which explains why such a skilled assassin was found locked in a cage in his introduction scene.
Will Syrio return in “Game of Thrones” Season 7? More details will be revealed when production officially begins for the show.
