Sarah Bolger

Will Sarah Bolger play Mary in season 4 as Mary would be in her 30's
I think Sarah is a great actress
Plus it's time to have a human Mary rather then a bloody Mary as they always have her in the movies

I've adored Sarah as the young Mary so few know about. Her portrayal really has been spot on, imo. However, with Mary reaching her thirties this season, I think they might need an older actress, Sarah is only 18. And hopefully, Hirst will continue to portray her in a true light, as opposed to the common "Bloody" view.

I remember watching an interview recently with the cast of Season 4, Henry Cavill, Andy McNair, Rod Hallet (is that the name of the guy who plays Richard Rich?) and Joanne King... Sarah Bolger was also present, so i'm guessing she must be back for Season 4, at least hopefully anyway!

She is. One of the extras for season 4 saw her in costume on set.

Extragirl gave a report on her days on set here: http://tudorswiki.sho.com/thread/1786047/Calling+all+Tudors+Extras?offset=40

I'm really glad it's still Sarah Bolger and not some older actress. She is great as Mary. And if 31-year old JRM can play 50-something Henry, then she can play 30-something Mary!

I have found a picture from Sarah Bolger with a young boy on set:

She looks good and very happy. =) And the young boy too. ;-)

I think Hirst and Co. know that they have a gem with her and wouldn't have wanted to let her go. =D

I agree. She's a gem. Also, it's very distracting to replace actors and with all the killings there aren't many actors who continue from one season to the next -- we need some of that to care about the characters. But the age is a problem to me. I think H8, while not lookiing in his 50s did age a lot from season to season and looked at least 40 in season 3. It will be interesting to see what they do with her to make her age another 10 years give or take for the final season. A change of clothes may not be enough. Do you find this valuable?

If you look at the picture of her that Ajnor posted a link to, it doesn't seem like they have done much more than give her more mature clothes and do up her hair. But I think that's okay. Mary's age isn't really a big factor for her story-line, at least as far the show will go. She's visibly an adult, her brother and sister are still children, that's all that matters I think.

Tell me about it! :-) I'm 27, I get mistaken for a teenager sometimes!

Let's just assume Mary is a very, very preserved looking 35 year old and it must run in the family, because look at how young her father still looks! lol
