The necessity for the flashbacks notwithstanding, Boardwalk Empire‘s casting department struck gold with the actors for Young Nucky Thompson and Younger Gillian Darmody. Now continuing HBO’s unofficial revival of Muppet Babies — instead of faceless nannies, there’s sex slaves and incest — Game of Thrones has reportedly found its Young Cersei Lannister: Nell Williams.
Without revealing spoilers, the flashback involves Cersei and a friend of hers visiting with an older woman called Maggy the Frog.
