ErinRRichards @ColinMorganShow yes worked with Colin today, he was lovely as expected! him and Eoin are brilliant actors to work with.
ErinRRichards @JulieCGaillot yes, just doing 2 episodes. I can't tell you much about my character but I can say the the episodes are amazing! (in reply to: "@ErinRRichards It is true that you are a new actress of the series Merlin? Then rather kind or nasty?")
ErinRRichards @SelmaSzilas 12 & 13 xx (in reply to: "@ErinRRichards Which episode in Merlin season 5 is it that you are in? :)")
ErinRRichards @JNY57 not yet! (in reply to: "@ErinRRichards have you done any scenes with @BradleyJames yet? i apologise on behalf of all #merlin fans for bombarding you with questions!")
Well, from the accidentally posted audition videos we know pretty well who Eira is and what role she's going to play. I thought it would be the (not overly exciting) storyline for a filler episode before the finale but apparently that story is (part of) the finale. My guess: the scenes are from episode 05.12 because the scene numbers for a second episode (in this case 05.13) would start at 01 again, even if it's a two-part episode.
If Colin wearing Merlin's costume during the media day interview/filming with Erin today + Eira's scenes are any indication about a magical reveal my bet would be: during episode 05.12 Merlin's still a servant and the reveal hasn't taken place yet. Not exactly a surprise but there goes our hope for a lengthy reveal plot. :P
Here's a reminder of the dialogues from the audition vids:
Scene 14
Eira: [injured her arm and pulls a face when Merlin tends to the wound]
Merlin: Sorry, almost done.
Gaius or Gwaine (?): Don't worry, Merlin knows what he's doing.
Eira: Have you news from [inaudible]? Have you heard from my family?
Gaius or Gwaine (?): Eira, your family, the people of your town. You alone survived the attack.
Eira [about to cry]: Alone?
Gaius or Gwaine (?): I'm sorry. Eira, whatever happens, you'll be safe here in Camelot. I give you my word.
Eira [nods]
Gaius or Merlin (?): Take two drops of water, it'll help with the pain. If you need anything at all, Gwaine knows where to find me.
Gaius or Gwaine (?): Thank you, Merlin.
Scene 22
Eira: You said you weren't leaving until sundown.
Gwaine: I owe my friend Merlin a favour.
Eira: Where are you going?
Gwaine: The Valley of the Fallen Kings.
Eira: But why?
Gwaine: Don't worry, I won't be long.
Eira: [nods]
Gwaine: Eira, I'll be back before you know it.
Eira: You promise?
Gwaine: I promise.
Scene 25
Morgana:Careful, Mordred. She can hardly speak with her throat cut now, can she.
Mordred: [releases Eira]
Morgana:Well, Eira. I hope Sir Gwaine has found your company to his satisfaction?
Eira: I like to think so.
Morgana:Has he been forthcoming about Arthur's plans?
Eira: He has kept no secrets from his beloved.
Morgana:Well, does the king intend to ride out and meet us?
Eira: [nods]
Morgana:Then all is as we anticipated. Thank you, Eira. You've been most informative.
Eira: There's something else. The knight said he was taking Merlin somewhere. To the Valley of the Fallen Kings, I think.
Scene 30
Eira: Gwaine, what is it? Tell me!
Gwaine: I can't.
Eira: Why not? Is it the king? What's happened to him? Gwaine!? Is he dead?
Gwaine: No.
Eira: How do you know? Where is he? Gwaine!? You don't trust me?
Gwaine: I do.
Eira: Then tell me.
Scene 34
Eira [releasing a messenger piegeon (or raven? :P)]
Gwen:Eira!?
Eira: I was...
Gwen:Sending word to Morgana?
Eira: No! Please, Mylady. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't betray you or the king.
Gwen:And you didn't. You can go to your death safe in that knowledge for your note was sent to your mistress riding for [inaudible] and all the while the king was heading in the opposite direction. Guards!
Eira: Gwaine! Gwaine, please!
a/ it will be a two-part episode
b/ we know the storyline (or at least part of the storyline)
c/ probably something about a regular character.
