Young Cersei cast! 

season 5 was that the show would finally be including at least one flashback, possibly as part of a dream.

Without revealing spoilers, the flashback involves Cersei and a friend of hers visiting with an older woman called Maggy the Frog.

Casting news has been hard to come by lately, but our sharp-eyed readers noticed a name added to the show’s IMDB credits. A quick visit to the actress’s agency resume has confirmed the casting, so it’s official: Nell Williams will be playing the role of young Cersei.

, the CBBC sitcom that starred Dean-Charles Chapman.

According to her agency, actress Hattie Gotobed, who played Lily in

According to her Spotlight CV, the character’s name is Ghita. There is no further information on the part. The name feels more Essos-style. Perhaps she is somewhere in Dany’s storyline, or maybe she is the ill child referred to in this casting call for the father?

Well, Williams is a lovely young actress, and she looks great for the part. It’s interesting that she co-starred with Chapman, and now she’s playing his mom.

It is interesting that the IMDB link suggests that “Young Cersei” appears in at least three episodes – This might be an ongoing series of flashbacks??? I would have expected only one appearance.

Of all the flashbacks, they chose this one: the worst decision GRRM has made.

Well, that’s pretty exciting news. Adding it to the GoT wiki!

Maybe Cersei has recurring dreams, just as in the books.

But three episodes does sound a tad overkill, doesn’t it? The specific episode info is probably wrong, as it often is on IMDB.

Reminder: please cover your spoilers! This is not a spoiler free-for-all post.

Am I the only one who thinks she doesn’t really look the part lol? she has the blond hair but the cheekbone structure…….not so much.

also it does seem like she’ll be in more than one episode hmmmmm, sine her resume says “various” for directors

Not a fan of the flashback myself. I thought Cersei’s motivation for hating Tyrion was already well-grounded and realistic; there was no need to introduce this valonqar stuff. There’s a lot of fun involved in trying to decipher who the prophecy is talking about, but I didn’t like that it provided another, seemingly fundamental basis for Cersei’s hatred of Tyrion. She could have gone over the edge without it (she was already twisting his penis when he was in the crib, after all.)

(Sue, can you cover my spoilers or tell me how – I haven’t posetd in a while and I can’t get tags to work…)

and that her future daughter is played by a Nell as well…..
