There's another woman at the table read who MUCH more closely resembles Egwene's actress (I think she's been identified as Lolita Chakrabarti?), so my bet is that this lady will be playing someone other than Marin.

Could he be Logaine?

Logain is, what, mid-30s? too old by far.

My money is Thom, Padan Fain, or a third, non-Tam option.

Nynaeve thanked Myrelle for saving Lan. To save him, she needed to have sex with him. That’s why Moiraine transferred to bond to Myrelle and not anyone else. 

Yeah, I'm not sure "no, listen, he NEEDED to be raped, because being raped will give you the will to live when you're suicidal" is an argument that is exactly gonna fly with current audiences. 

It was a wildly unnecessary bit of writing at the time, but it'll come across even worse now. (Also, did Nynaeve even know about that part? not sure she did)

Why is everyone so obsessed with cutting Min, out of all the characters in the books?

She seems to be the one that is coming up most often, despite the fact that she's one of the few character we know almost certainly that we ARE going to keep, given Rafe's comments on the love quadrangle (ie that the dynamics of the four will be expanded into broader polyamory, not cut down).

And yet Myrelle goes out of her way to have ethically questionable sex with him. 

I think it's fair to go so far as say she rapes him, honestly. (something that frankly I really hope they drop from the tv series, because it was super creepy and unnecessary)

Mad Mikkelsen has the right look, and I'll admit my brain has gone there as well, especially during that one opening scene of Rogue One.

But a Lan that would be over sixty before the time the series is done is kinda pushing it in terms of age, especially playing against Zoe Robins' Nynaeve. 

Getting attached to specific actors is an exercise in frustration, with any adaptational casting.

Mat/Birgitte is also platonic. Mat even has a long section when he thinks about how he thinks of Birgitte as if she were a man. 

I'm not sure one of the few male/female friendships in the series being a guy who is only friends with a women because he thinks of her as an honorary dude, really disproves the point, there.
