is she close with Skandar?


In photos she seems like she's close with Will. I was just wondering what her relationship was with Skandar, since Will doesn't seem to like him very much...
what do you think?

Yeah, where did you hear Will doesn't like Skandar? wierd. I haven't heard anything, so info would be nice:)

But yes, Will and Georgie are close, and I think the two girls are as well..

Everyone reads interviews where Will is raggin on Skander (like all friends do) and they make it out as Will is some evil guy who hates skander. But from what i've seen in interviews they all rag on each other, but you can tell they're friends. And everyone says that they're all like a family.

Ohhhhh. Where can you watch the read-throughs?? :)

I think you people are reading way too much into basic cast banter.

You don't have the story of the read-through quite correct. William and Anna went through two years of auditions and Georgie went through a year and a half. The three of them had a lot of time to get to know one another and become friends. Skandar didn't come around until the tail end of things. Adamson hadn't found his perfect Edmund, so he asked Pippa Hall (the casting director) to keep looking. Then she found Skandar and knew he would be perfect.

He came in for a read-through with the other three because it had pretty much been decided at that point that they were the finalists. He has said in interviews that he thought things were weird from the get-go because they all had the lines memorized and seemed to know one another really well. Georgie was great friends with Will and Anna by then, so she was quite outgoing and outspoken, which Skandar did find annoying because she kept talking over him.

The point is that this all happened during Skandar's first audition with the other three siblings. He was kind of the "outsider". Mark Johnson and Andrew Adamson have both said that the situation was perfect casting.
