Of course, now I'm drifting back to Spencer Locke as Molly.  She's how I've always pictured her.

Okay, I need some help for Aurora/Lily and Maeve.  Any casting ideas?

I think they'd have to be younger.  I think Dresden described Maeve in SK as looking young enough to not to want to get caught looking or something.  And Aurora was her practical twin, and Lily was a teenager.

I've actually thought Olivia Wilde would make a good Lara, but others don't seem to agree with that sentiment.

At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

See... I see Helen Beckitt as much older than late 20s. You'd have to age her significantly. I see someone more like Sigourney Weaver as Helen Beckitt.
You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.

Marcone was in his forties in Storm Front, though. And she has a teenage/twenty-something daughter. According to Prisecllie's timeline, Helen's daughter was about 10yo 3-4 years before Storm Front. That makes her 13-14 when we first meet Helen. It's possible that Helen had a kid at 13-14 years old herself, but I don't get that feeling.

Amy Acker is my pick for Elaine.

As others have said, Helen is a little older. Her character is also rather icy and vulnerable, which it takes a certain kind of actress to pull off. I see Bebe Neuwirth.

(Still attractive enough for Marcone, I'd wager.)

My current image of Elaine is Anna Torv.  But that's because I like Elaine, and I'm currently crushing on Anna due to her awesomeness on Fringe.

I was originally thinking Mab for Anna, but then I went on that whole Tricia Helfer/Jeri Ryan duo for the queens.

Yeah, I could definitely see Taylor being Molly. I was going to say "doing Molly", but realized this was the internet.

EDIT
I knew I recognized her face - Taylor is the singer with the taped over nipples that was in the news a while back.

She is Cindy Lou Who!!!!

Yeah, but she needs to hide her crazy until the end of Summer Knight.

She's really tall, so I actually originally thought of her for Georgia.  Admittedly, it was while she and Lautner were dating, and I was thinking "he's already a wolf-boy, he can be Billy, and she can be Georgia".
