Game of Thrones Season 2 Casting: Jeyne… But Which One?

Apparently Charlie Chaplin had a granddaughter who is into acting. I never knew that but Oona Chaplin has been cast in the latest season of A Game of Thrones as a character named Jeyne according to Access Hollywood. Now as fans of the books will realize this could mean one of two characters. The first is Jenye Poole, the daughter of a steward of Winterfell that accompanied the Starks to King’s Landing and was held captive after the slaughter of the Northmen. Jeyne Poole makes a lot more sense in the long run since she plays a pretty big role in the fifth book ‘A Dance With Dragons’.

**Spoilers Below**

The other character that she could possibly play is that of Jeyne Westerling, but it wouldn’t make much sense because she doesn’t show up until book 3 ‘A Storm of Swords‘. But it wouldn’t be unheard of for them to add the character in early to move things along. They put in an Arya scene at the end of season 1 that was from book 2 so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they did something similar in season 2. Jeyne is a very important character because Robb Stark marries her after she tends to his wounds in book 3. This proves problematic since he had a marriage agreement with Lord Walder Frey that is now null and void. The whole ordeal leads to one of the most shocking scenes I’ve read in the George R.R. Martin books aside from Ned’s beheading.

I’m betting on her being Jeyne Poole, but I suppose we’ll have to wait and see how everything unfolds as filming continues. As always, stay tuned for more casting news!

One thought on “Game of Thrones Season 2 Casting: Jeyne… But Which One?”

  1. Robb does not marry Jeyne Poole, she however, plays a rather important role in the 5th book, her story is perhaps even equally, or perhaps even more traumatizing then the Red Wedding.
