Sarah MacKeever is an actress who served as a stand-in for the role of Queen Selyse Baratheon in "The North Remembers", the premiere episode of Season 2. At the time, the writers weren't certain how much screentime they would ultimately devote to Stannis' family, but knew that his wife and daughter would at the very least not appear in Season 2. Thus, MacKeever technically stood in for the role of Selyse during the scene on the beach when Stannis and Melisandre burn the icons of the Faith of the Seven. However she is very much in the background, has no lines of dialogue, and isn't particularly indicated as Stannis' wife in the episode. Only the official credits list for the episode confirmed that the role she was standing in for was actually intended to be "Selyse Baratheon".
