Game Of Thrones: 8 Characters Who Didn't Meet Our Expectations

6. Shae

A great many of the fans of the books are upset about the portrayal of Shae in the TV show versus the Shae of the books. Played by Sibel Kikilli, Shae has been given a great deal more depth in the TV show than she has in the books, where she is a rather two-dimensional and transparent character clearly seducing her way into Tyrion's wallet. In the show, however, she's far more likeable, sympathetic and in season two even became someone we root for. This doesn't mean she was miscast, only that the way the character is written is vastly different to that of the books...that said, for me at least, it's absolutely a change for the positive, and adds a lot of value to her relationship with Tyrion.

When not writing Chris spends more time thinking about playing videogames than actually playing them and can usually be found reorganizing his Blu Ray and book collections. He owns four different editions of A Song of Ice and Fire and no, it isn't overkill. He's left the neon haze of Tokyo and Seoul for the more sedate streets of Bournemouth.
