As you can see, Charlotte is not at all like her alter-ego, and that’s a good thing, because I’m not sure the world is ready for Myranda.įare thee well, Myranda, it was a pleasure to watch you hone your dastardly craft. Note how expertly she danced around answering the question of what happens to her character in Season 5. Perhaps my favorite performance by Charlotte Hope, beside her work on Game of Thrones, occurred during this interview with Flicks and the City. Apart from her work on Game of Thrones, her highest profile role may have been playing Philippa Hawking in the Academy Award-nominated The Theory of Everything. She also had a role in Testament of Youth, which starred fellow Thrones cast member Kit Harington.

Of course, the effectiveness of Myranda’s turn as a villain can be largely attributed to the acting skills of Charlotte Hope, who has acting in TV and film since 2010. If not for his intervention, Sansa’s Season 5 story would have had a horrifyingly different ending. As an observer, I was taken in by the fact that Myranda was fully ready to start systematically torturing Sansa, and probably would have had Theon not thrown her from the battlements.
Right before her death, Myranda apparently decided that she was done playing mind games with Sansa, and was ready to start inflicting real harm.
Her efforts weren’t always successful, but her cloyingly sweet attempts to intimidate the eldest Stark girl represented a Myranda who was ready to step out of Ramsay’s and became a villain in her own right. Perhaps it was her jealousy over the fact that Ramsay would marry another, or maybe she was always this terrifying, but Myranda eagerly began to prey on Sansa Stark. It was here that Myranda’s devious nature revealed itself. Clearly, Myranda was no ordinary kennel master’s daughter: she was a sadist willing to do whatever it took to please her man.īefore Season 5 began, Myranda traveled to Winterfell, where she remained Ramsay’s lover even after he had his bastard status erased by Roose Bolton, his father and the newly installed Warden of the North. In Season 4, she took the next step along the path to becoming Ramsay’s favorite when she mercilessly hunted down another of Ramsay’s girls, Tansy, and shot her in the leg with an arrow, before the dogs had their way with her. That could not have been farther from the actual truth. That only provided a hint about how demented Myranda really was…in fact, Violet told Theon that Myranda had been training to be a Septa, before her sexual urges prevented her from officially becoming one. She first appeared in Season 3, when she and her friend Violet tricked Theon Greyjoy into letting his guard down before Ramsay removed his manhood. The only character on the show with the ability to match Ramsay’s sadistic nature stride for stride, all the while remaining strikingly beautiful and deceptively demure, Myranda was the perfect match for the Bastard of Bolton. ~Myranda to Sansa in the Game of Thrones Season 5 finale, “Mother’s Mercy.” But I suppose he doesn’t need all of you. Your father was Warden of the North, and Ramsay needs you. “ Dying? Who said anything about dying? You can’t die. By David Harris (Razor) 7 years ago Follow Tweet
