This has to be the coolest thing ever!

-A little inside baseball-

Connerh & Lena:

 I started developing Connerh and Lena further after watching Henry and Anya’s chemistry in Season 1 of The Witcher—a potential I felt, unfortunately, was never fully explored. Naturally, they became my top choices. There was just something about the way they portrayed both longing and weariness toward each other that perfectly encapsulated Connerh and Lena: two souls who should have met under different circumstances... who love each other despite the twisted agony they exist within.

Elarion & Illithor:

 Back then, Aaron Pierre wasn’t yet a household name. I had always imagined Chris Judge as Elarion, being a fan since the SG-1 days. But after seeing an interview where he expressed heartfelt reflections on his Kratos portrayal—and was moved to tears—I saw something deeper. That vulnerability behind such strength made me realize he would be the perfect Illithor. Elarion carries pain too, but Illithor is a man shattered by personal failure, tragedy, and shame. Though they are paternal twins, Illithor is very much the older brother.  I look at Aaron, and I see Elarion. Kind, stoic but not without emotion...humanity. Old, wise, but with a youthful countenance.  This pairing would be phenomenal.

Fear:

 I wrote Fear hearing James’s voice as if he were in the room with me. It’s so clear, so perfect—ancient, wise, assured. Just... brilliant.

Madika:

 I also wrote her with Zoë in mind. Zoë is Madika. A brilliant actress who can portray both strength and vulnerability with authenticity.

Queen Io(elena):

 As a huge fan of Noomi, I always envisioned her when writing Lena’s mother, especially after Angel of Mine. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7058080/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_12).

Darros:

 Always Jared.

Hargatha:

 This one’s interesting. I originally pictured someone completely different while writing her. But by the end—after fully understanding who she was—and deciding to give Bridgerton a try, I literally stood and shouted, “Oh my god, it’s Gatty!” after watching Polly’s performance.
