    They changed her name to "Talisa Maegyr" in the TV show and gave her a different backstory (she's from Volantis in the show, the Westerlands in the books). Aren't we going with HBO's characters?

      Editing … Maybe make a separate page for Talisa Maegyr? I can't see us ever having two separate lists for the book and show version of characters so I'm using this one for both and ranking characters the show didn't do justice (Qhorin, Mance, Oberyn, Blackfish) or cut out of the story as well as the characters that are great in the show.

      Editing … Ok yeah I thought it would be easier to stick with the show canon, so if they've been mentioned so we know they won't get cut/merged into another character, they can be added. All 8 sand snakes haven been confirmed by Oberyn so I might have to add them! Ooo Duncan the Tall and Arthur Dayne got mentioned as well :D

      Editing … There's not too many characters that got outright cut (Strong Belwas, Patchface, Garlan Tyrell, Wyman Manderly). The Bloody Mummers got merged into Locke and made a Bolton henchman, they gave Gendry Edric Storm's part, Asha got renamed Yara for some daft reason, a fair few backstory characters haven't been mentioned (my favourite being Bloodraven) and obviously there's this example. Since we're on about it I prefer Jeyne and the she comforted Robb when he was grieving story to the show romance myself. Then you've just got characters that were just pretty different in the show even if they perform basically the same role (Qhorin, Mance, Beric, Shae, Osha, Catelyn etc).

      Editing … I think it's because they cut the Tyrell siblings and made Loras the heir to Highgarden, I always assumed they'd be far more brutal when it came to the Dorne/Iron Islands. I still don't think we'll see Damphair, guessing they'll merge him into Victarion somehow. Its true though, they havent outright cut all that much

      Editing … I reckon we'll get Euron and Victarion but yeah, Damphair could just be replaced by a priest that isn't a Greyjoy and only needs to be around for one episode. Not sure who'd get cut from Dorne but I don't really mind, that area of the plot's never seemed that great to me (which was really disappointing considering it's where Oberyn's from).

      Editing … Oh cool, he looks the part. I wonder if they'll find a way to give his backstory (I'd say more but that'd definitely be a spoiler for anyone else reading this).

      Editing … That's true, he only needs to act disapprovingly towards Euron for a bit then bugger off. Quentyn is another that we'll probably lose entirely but we don't really need him either. They've done a great job so far, I shouldnt really be surprised we've got Doran and the Sand Snakes. Doran's so cool. "Deadly, dangerous, unpredictable. No man dare tread on him. I was the grass. Pleasant, complaisant, sweet-smelling, swaying with every breeze. Who fears to walk upon the grass? But it is the grass that hides the viper from his enemies and shelters him until he strikes."

      Editing … That's far and away Doran's best line, he's a good character but I wouldn't say great. I don't think we will lose Quentyn, I think they'll want him to add something to the Dany/Meereen storyline in season 5 or 6, I can see them changing him a bit though (hopefully into more of a young Oberyn like I hoped he'd be before I read Dance). I reckon there's more chance we'll lose Darkstar, Areo Hotah and Aerys Oakheart and have Arianne but only with a smaller part. I can see them changing Aegon/Jon Connington and the characters Brienne meets as well.

      Editing … *Possible book spoiler if anyone's reading this! At the pace they're going we'll probably have daznak's pit next season and all Winds of Winter material in season 6, infact they're going to need Winds stuff next season for certain plotlines, I doubt they'll need Quentyn to fill in time if they're going to finish in 7 seasons. Although yeah I wouldn't complain if they made him less frog and more viper! And the 7 season plan will likely become 8
