According to Watchers on the Wall Myranda (Ramsay's best gal friend) will be back in Season 5 and will appear in multiple episodes. I hope they're not using her as Fake Arya. I don't think they will because that would definitely take away from Theon's overall character development. She would, however, make a good victim for the ghost of Winterfell.

People have been fretting over the possibility of her being fake Arya since we learned the character would be back last season. I've seen nothing that would indicate this is going to be the case, and it makes little sense in the context of the show, unless some major changes to that plot point are made.

What if Ramsey captures Rickon and the wildling woman he's with? Theon already "killed" Rickon once and had sex with her, she could be the tortured moral voice in his head that dies and forces him to act.

They found out Bran's storyline will not go anywhere in the books, so they're killing him off.

In addition, they found out that nobody's storyline will go anywhere in the books. Rocks fall everyone dies.

Yeah, it was my thought a while back that sending Rickon to the Umbers instead of Skagos made him available to replace fake Arya as the one Theon rescues. My only issue with it is I'm not sure why the Boltons would keep Rickon alive (Unless the plan is for Rickon to be a puppet lord with Ramsey ruling behind him, for a while at least).

I bolded the part where you answer your own question. If all the Stark daughters are unavailable the Boltons will just have to make do.

If you watch the Saved By the Bell video, she and a few other kids actually point out that 90s fashion is back in style.

Also, protip: don't watch the Teens React to Doctor Who video if you value your sanity.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go.

It's a fairy tale show for babies that's named after a 60's sci-fi show for families for
some reason.

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed that this season (I watch it for the same reason police watch indecent porn) that every episode so far has involved a cast member of Game of Thrones dying like 5 minutes into the episode...??

ep1. Ser Dontons Hollard (death by sever eye trauma)
ep2. Dolorous Edd (death by Dalek immune system)
ep3. Lord Mace Tyrell (death by Sheriff of Nottingham)

I wasn't fully paying attention while reading this and was prepared to go ballistic at the news that Dolorous Edd got killed. Don't you loving dare kill Edd, show. You leave him alone, you hear me? And Hodor, too.
