The latest in Game of Thrones season 5 casting news might disappoint Hodor fans, and there's also one more Stark to miss.
There's Game of Thrones season 5 casting news for raving fans of the HBO series, with a handful of new and returning characters confirmed. While the producers are mum on who's going to be killed off this season, some characters are confirmed to step out of the scenes for a while.
Bran and Hodor are practically inseparable ever since the Stark boy fell from that tower, and Bran even went so far as to wield Hodor's brute force to swipe threats. Fans will have to deal with their absence this season, though. The characters take hiatus.
Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor, confirms in an interview that the Hodor and Bran characters will merely be a context between the scenes in Game of Thrones season 5.
"We have a season off and we have a year's hiatus, solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books."
That's a tall assumption in Game of Thrones season 5 casting news, since the series are notoriously known for killing characters unannounced and almost at whim. Nairn stays busy during the time off, though, as part of the "Rave of Thrones" DJ Tour across Australia.
There's also good tidings from the Land of Dorne in season 5; as Prince Oberyn's legacy of a clan invades the kingdom and the plot. The TV adaptation for "A Song of Fire and Ice" will see Oberyn's fierce daughters come into play.
Three Sand daughters are confirmed casted, played by Jessica Henwick, Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, and Keisha Castle-Hughes. Alexander Siddig and Toby Sebastian will play Doran and Trystane Martell, the latter heir to the Dorne.
Prince Oberyn just might exact his revenge with an entire family of Martell in play, in the latest Game of Thrones season 5 casting news (eonline.com).
