I see her more as Lysa Arryn than Catelyn, who I've imagined to be somewhat slimmer. But nevertheless, I've heard excellent things about Jennifer Ehle, and I think she'll do great justice to the role.

Can't wait for the pilot!

she's a very good actress but I too, imagined Catelyn to be slimmer and somehow more "regal"...
The pilot is shaping up pretty well!
But I still can't see Sean Bean as Eddard Stark... we'll see!

This is one of the better casting decisions IMO. Watch her in the movie Sunshine - I can see her bringing some of that character (Valerie) into Catelyn

L, do you know gods of death love apples?
Death Note

Her and Sean Bean as wife and husband - can't wait to see that! This is one of only a few shows/films I'm highly anticipating.

Actually, she's just been replaced by an Irish actress, no reason given. Her scenes will be re-shot.

She was great,but they had to bring someone from crappy Harry Potter.This is unbelievable!The nude scenes with Michelle will be hilarious considering that she doesn't have the body or the age to play this role.
