The TROIKA casting website (rep. Michael Duff) have updated their database, and lo and behold: it seems we’ve found a gilly flower!
TROIKA’s site lists Hannah Murray’s current project as playing the role of “Gilly” (named by her mother for the gilly flower), for the upcoming second season of Game of Thrones. Gilly is one of many young women living with old Craster (yet to be cast)—a crotchety and blunt “friend” of the Night’s Watch. Gilly has a secret that threatens to sunder the already-uneasy peace between Craster and the northbound Night’s Watch.
**UPDATED**
UPDATE
HBO has since confirmed to us that the deal’s done, contracts signed, and Ms. Murray is on board. Exciting!

Gilly is a minor character at first but will end up being a supporting one.
This is 2 of the original Skins cast now, Joe Dempsie (Chris) plays Gendry.
