[...] name. Interestingly, it is possible WiC.net readers had a hand in her getting the role. Her name was first mentioned back in March 2010 as a possible Brienne by commenter Mauberly. Paul Gude then took the initiative [...]

As a 39 year old woman I appreciate that Catelyn is a real woman and not a 25 year old goddess playing a mother of five. And the actress is a beautiful woman in her own right.. . However, she is much older older looking than I expected of the desirable Catelyn.

you sound like a right ignorant big blubber, typical if you are such a fan of grrms books you should be delighted they are taking the time to make adjustments, it shows things were not working. Bet your big fat and ginger!

me to. some are saying they have never heard of Fairley, i had never heard of Ehle i had to google her. with it being filmed and based in Belfast i think it is great that the local talent it being used, good luck to them all. i am sure they will all do a fine job. lets face it if the first casting was working they would not have had to do a complete rejig of the cast!

I personally think Michelle Fairley would make an excellent choice as Catelyn Stark in HBO's Game of thrones as she looks more to the part that Jennifer Ehle. With all respect to Ehle i think Fairley is a much more experienced and professional actress. And to all you who think Michelle looks old, it doesn't take inestine to work out she is working and in role in most of her photos. I am very excited to see the series and and hoping for only the best which i am confident Michelle will bring to her performance.

with a name like "Shadallion" , should one say any more.. keep it clean this is in fact a well respected actress with an incredible pedgree of work to her name. lets judge Fairley on her work and cut this crap!!

me personally i think it is a great move, fairley is a very well known theatre actress with a year or longer stint in broadway theatres . grrm is said to be delighted she has joined the cast , i think she will be fantastic in the role. stop being so bloody minded and give other actors a chance!!!!!!!!!!!

I am disapppointed. I was excited about seeing Jennifer with Sean Bean. She is awesome. Don't know Fairley. Hope it works out.

That's a picture where she is aged up, I think it's from the George Best movie where she plays an alcholic. Trust me, in other productions she looks like a 40 year old or something.

I'm sorry, but Fairley is way too old for this roll. If I'm not mistaken, isn't Catelyn in her 30s? Of course, everyone cast in the show is older than they should be.

Except for that in the actually BOOKS we know that Cat was almost the same age as Ned (they were both teenagers). So whatever social "norms" are supposed to be in Westeros, the actual AGE of Cat should be nearly the same as Ned. And in fact Ms. Fairley is 10 years younger than Sean Bean. So… what's your point exactly? That we should change the canon of the books to more "accurately" reflect what other people in Westeros may have done? That's really backwards logic.

I was only excited about this series because Jennifer Ehle was going to be in it.

I am not normally a fiction, never mind fantasy, reader. When a JE fan, though, one is grateful for any and every project because there is often a lot of waiting in between things.

It is disappointing, in retrospect, that I invested significant time into the books to find out more about JE's role as Catelyn.

No offense to the new actress or to the series author, each of whom is talented in his/her own right, but I will not be investing time or money from this point forward into the series or HBO because of this change. I do hope it still turns out wonderfully for all the die hard fans of the series though!
