So that you can experience the fun too here are some of the links. (A couple have been included before and repeated here. ) Take a look if you have time. Many varying comments (read at your own risk but most are good).
[Edit. I managed to mess up links. I've fixed them (they work for me anyway) and the sad trombones should now be playing upbeat jazz. My sincere apologies.]

At The Get a move on, George R R Martin thread included at ‘The Premier TV-Bashing Community Since 2001” (I don’t make these things up), there are a few comments at A JE casting section which I include only because I found the following comment hilarious. "I bet Jennifer Ehle only accepted this role so she could use the "zombie, post-dead Catelyn" as inspiration for when Hollywood eventually adapts "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".

Here’ s A Very Happy Mrs. Darcy. I also felt like swinging from the chandelier when I heard about the new project, but I would not have looked anywhere near this good, believe me.
Not forgetting all that has come before, a recent review of Pride and Glory posted by okapi
[…]To watch the interaction between Francis and his dying wife, Abby (Jennifer Ehle, in no doubt an underappreciated role), is to watch love at its purest…and hardest. It’s an interaction that gets lost within all the shooting and bleeding, but I think, in the end, it’s ultimately the symbol of what this movie is all about, and what is most important above all else.[…]

I nearly jumped up and down when I heard this news, because I LOVE these books, and I couldn't even begin to think who should play her - and luckily, HBO aimed high, because Jennifer is PERFECT for it. PERFECT.
Links are borked. (*sad trombone*)
Major mess. Sorry. Am working on jazzing up the trombones right now.
I feel awful about the screw-up, but the links should be okay now. Hope I didn't chase away any potential new fans. Or even worse, past fans.
Thanks for linking to my blog :) I love Jennifer Ehle from Pride and Prejudice, and can't wait to see her in this new project.
Amazing information! I am so happy that the book is in market. I was waiting for this book since from many months. Now I can buy it. I am a big fan of Jennifer.
Well it is nice to post here. Thanks a lot for sharing such nice information here. I like this site.
Janet, just a correction: the character depictions that you link to have been done by a Russian SFF artist Amok (http://en.amokanet.ru/gallery/martin/), not Michael Shanks.
