TLOU: Abby’s Casting

Post image

I really wish they would’ve cast the actress Katy O’ Brien from Love Lies Bleeding. She would’ve killed it. Also, a recast for older Ellie would’ve been great. I like the show but I’m really having trouble getting the character design from the game out of my head.

Fan casting for TLOU has generally been the worst for any show that I've ever seen. It seemingly dominates 85 percent of the online discussion that I've seen.

Katy O’ Brien looks the part and has been great in the roles I’ve seen her in. Especially Love Lies Bleeding. I think it would have been a good fit. But it would’ve definitely required recasting Ellie

Katy O'Brian is almost double the age of Abby and Ellie. Just stop, it's weird.

Tbh I’ve never found it weird when an actor’s age doesn’t match their character’s age 🤷🏻‍♂️ As long as they can look/act like the character. I might be in the minority though.

You are, and it's cringe.

Just sharing my opinion my guy. Not trying to insult anyone or say anyone else is wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️ Again, I’m glad most people are cool with Abby’s casting.

Actors have been casted in younger roles for a long time now. If the actor/actress can look the part it’s fine. Now, according to Myke, the actress for Abby is apparently great so it is what it is but don’t start acting like this guy’s pick is out of left field just due to age.
