Emilia Clarke back in action; Spanish casting calls offer more season 6 hints 

Emilia Clarke is back to work this week, on the set of

. The actress shared this bewigged photo of herself, with Daenerys’ hair. It’s not clear where she is in the hairstyling process, whether she’ll wind up with a more ornate style or if Dany is having a rough time with the Dothraki she encountered at the end of season 5. But according to Clarke’s hashtag, “Good hair days are here again.”

Well well well…. It sure looks like, #goodhairdaysarehereagain #cantwashthis… 👊🏻

is searching for a baby in Canet de Mar, Spain for September 16-18th. (Modexpor handles the casting for extras and these minor roles for GoT in Spain.)

The child needs to be 9 to 12 months old and blond/fair-haired, according to the casting call. With this specific description and location, I think this points to one particular baby we’ve already encountered- a fair-haired baby of this age is most likely Gilly’s baby Sam.

Canet de Mar is the home of the Castell de Santa Florentina, the medieval castle that has been the subject of speculation since it was confirmed as a season 6 location.  Baby Sam in Canet de Mar presents a strong likelihood that Castell de Santa Florentina is Horn Hill, the Tarly family home. We know from casting breakdown spoilers that we’ll be meeting Samwell Tarly’s parents and siblings in season 6, so it seems likely he and Gilly will stop by Horn Hill on the way south to Oldtown.

Modexpor has another casting call today- they’re searching for young Girona locals to take part in filming September 9,10 and 11th.

In particular they’re looking for people who are around 16 years old: girls with long hair and boys with short hair. There’s a maximum height of 167 cm (about 5’6″). So it appears they do want people who genuinely look like teenagers and not large adults.

What do you make of these casting calls, readers?

That’ll be interesting actually seeing Gilly at Horn Hill. Will Sam and Randyl actually share a scene? Big Sam might shit his pants along with little Sam lol.

I wonder why they would need teenagers with long hair and short hair specifically?

Argh, I really wish they’d start aging up baby Sam; its by far the biggest thing messing up my own sense of the series’ timeline. Shouldn’t he be like three years old by now?

It’s quite obvious little Sam aka Azor Samhai is simply going to get his Lightbringer, Heartsbane.

A flashback with teens? Is there a place with a lot of young people?

PS: Missing the days when they covered with make up Daenerys’ eyebrows LOL

Maybe Prince Trystane has some kind of similarly-aged fan club.

Finally! Baby Sam will be on a normal development trajectory! 😀 This makes me inexplicably happy. Emilia posting from N. Ireland? Probably studio stuff, not location. Because I thought Spain filming hasn’t started yet.

Teenagers in Girona? Could these be trainees at the Citadel? To become Maesters and Septas? Not a book reader, so I have no idea if Septas are trained somewhere also.

My first thought was young maesters-in-training, but then they wouldn’t include teenage girls in the casting call too. Huh!

Little Sam clearly has some kind of pituitary issue that’s preventing him from growing.

Me too!! I find them… Distracting now, with the blonde. They really should lighten them.

That’s a good point… But it means Trystane somehow reached KL and is not killed by Cersei’s, Jaime’s rage or something… Not a clue about this character could do now. Except mourning Myrcella…

I thought about the Citadel too, but then why they ask for girls? The Citadel was only-boys territory, right?

Also, the casting call didn’t say how many people they need. That’s a bit weird. However, Modexpor Internacional screwed things last year with the casting call, at Seville nobody said “no blonde people allowed” until they have a six hours queue at their doors :/

Include that with LF’s jetpack, Melisandre arriving to the Wall the next day after Davos, Yara/Asha going to Dreadfort by sea, Bran and Rickon growing up or Sansa’s saying “I’m fourteen” (when she doesn’t look like at all) LOL

Filming is also back at Sallagh area in Northern Ireland. So far, there are two different locations, both wooded areas and not the braes which were used previously for Moat Cailin!

I’d love to see Emilia do a ‘Rastafarian Targaryen’ with her Dothraki crew.

Mel could have gotten there after two months’ travel as far as we know. Or was there something that fixed the passage of time as such?

Mel could easly have arrived days after the battle.
