(Spoilers Published) Why I think Penny will not be in Game of Thrones

PUBLISHED

First I would like to say that I have not read any of the TWOW chapters incase anything happens in that which would change my mind This thought came to me while I was thinking of who I think is most likely not to make it into the show and I came to thinking , is penny really needed in the show. Even though I like the character I believe there is no point in adding her just for the sake of adding her when there could be so much more added instead. This is why I dont think she is needed, I think her main purpose was to distract and eventually cheer up Tyrion a bit as he was getting very depressing. Why is he like that, because of the scene with him and Jaime about Tysha and after that he is a different man. With them taking out that scene I cant see Tyrion being as sad as he was so therefore I dont see a need in having to add Penny to shine some of her innocence on him. Also I think the scene at the purple wedding was mostly put in for fan service along with making Tyrion angry and seem guilty. Not that I would be against adding her I just dont see the point unless she is meant to play a big role in the future. This was really just me thinking in shower and is my first post on this subreddit which I have been following for awhile so if I made any mistakes or anything please point them out.

The way I saw it, it was important for Tyrion to have a woman friend who he doesn't want to have sex with. Her presence helps him step away from his thought process about his life and women in general.

She serves much the same purpose in Tyrion's story as Brienne does in Jaime's story, but at a fraction of the size and weight. ;)

Me either, this was a shower thought just the other day. But it makes sense if you look at his past relationships.
