To be fair, the producers didn't hide the fact that they wanted the Sansa actress to appear in the show more, they were very candid. <br /><br />Perhaps more interesting, the scene in the book was actually worse, just a different and apparently less "important" woman who suffers the assault. <br /><br />It's been interesting to watch the response. I didn't like the scene in the book or the show, but the show scene did have a basis from the book--- just a different victim.

The policies involved in scriptwriting never occurred to me; I wouldn't have thought about actors and actresses and how much screen time they get. It's funny; as an author, you don't consider how many pages your characters appear on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-58083046720535493302015-06-11T17:56:50.696-04:002015-06-11T17:56:50.696-04:00It's ironic, because just after publishing thi...It's ironic, because just after publishing this article, I got a two-star review of my book. They didn't cite any problems with the book, but rather that they felt the story was mainly background plot information, and that the 'true' book should have started at the end of the actual book. You can't please everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-11738813435724480822015-06-10T21:57:43.468-04:002015-06-10T21:57:43.468-04:00In general I might agree but the scene in question...In general I might agree but the scene in question probably isn't the best example. This change to the book was to get the actress more air time. It makes sense the actress would be happy with the change, it puts her in three times the scenes she would have been in if they followed the book. I'm not saying this is bad or good, only that it was not the result of the story organically developing. It was more like a production meeting where it was decided that actress x needed to be on screen more.
