There is an unaired first pilot that was shelved by the network. “We got everything wrong on a very basic level with the writing of it,” said show co-creator David Benioff. Catelyn Stark and Daenerys Stormborn were played by Jennifer Ehle and Tamzin Merchant, respectively. Ehle is a Tony and BAFTA-winning actress. Merchant is best known for her role as Georgiana Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. They were replaced by Michelle Fairley and Emilia Clarke.
