It makes a lot of sense that they'd be introduced earlier on. As for Quigley's actor, I think it'd be a bit weird if Dylan didn't play him, as there's such an emphasis on them being triplets and looking alike. Default celebratory drawing: http://instagram.com/p/BKu7HT2DaWm

I don't like their look for the triplets at all but we'll definitely have to wait and see. I guess cuz D & I were the two characters most fully drawn (besides the Baudelaires) in the books I have the illustrations stuck in my head. However, drop some black wigs on them and tell them to open their eyes wider and we're golden.

I think we will be seeing the whole picture in the series and everything in chronological order. Like Gustavo's death we just heard about in the book but we will see. I think this won't just be the children's story. Also there was news a while ago that they built a carnival. So I wonder if we will see Olaf finding info where the Baudelaire a are heading and preparing his plans. Also wonder if we will get jacques and quigley in monty's house.

It's interesting they got permission to reveal this now. Perhaps that means an announcement or teaser might be popping up soon.
Interesting look for the Quagmires. Younger than I would have thought, hair is different too. Granted, those changes make disguising themselves as the Baidelaire's in TAA seem more plausible.

Yes, they do look a bit young, don't they? But apparently they are 12 in real life, only one year's difference from their age in the series, and the same as Klaus's age.
As far as I can remember we are never told that Duncan and Quigley are identical, only very similar (though we are told, absurdly, that Duncan and Isadora look absolutely identical). I had always taken all three to be fraternal triplets. They would have to find an actor who looked like Dylan to do it that way, of course.
Regarding their possible part in series 1, we should remember the 'mother' and 'father' who appear in some scenes - we seem to be meant to think they are the Baudelaire mother and father, but some suspect that is a red herring. Could they be the Quagmire mother and father?
As for the date of the fire, the series gives two inconsistent sets of clues to this, but they certainly could go with the dating that puts it a little time after the Baudlelaire fire; that would add excitement. We should remember, though, that some aspects of the series are clearly fictionalised (like making Eleonora Mr Poe's wife instead of his sister), so we shouldn't expect everything to happen exactly as in the books.

Very exciting news with so many possibilities!!! I really like the idea of the series giving us a bigger picture, and not sticking solely to the Baudelaires' POV. Having two sets of orphans and two fires makes the mystery, and VFD, more central, without clustering things in like the movie did.

After some stalking, I've noticed both Avi and Dylan were doing makeup/hair/wardrobe testing an regularly filming since June/July... so they'll definitely be in season one? Looking through their Instagram it looks like they were traveling back and forth consistently. So, it sort of looks like they'll only be in a few of the later episodes (Which would explain why we didn't hear about them until now). I'm guessing that they'll show us snippets of the Quagmire's story at the end of some episodes as a way to set up for season two. Really, it's a good move to include them early considering they're mentioned in most of the books. I guess this means in the third season we'll likely see their story even though in the books, at that point, it was only related by other characters. It's interesting, Avi Lake specifically had to dye her hair darker for this role. So, it looks like they took a nod from the book on hair color.

The actors for the Baudelaires also look younger than the movie actors, so the Quagmires' actors looking younger matches up with that. This also makes it easier to deal with the actors aging over the course of the series, I'd imagine, as they'd still remain in the ballpark age for the characters they play.

This comment struck me as very funny because we're so in this world we consider the show a fictionalized version of true events. I love it.

Kinda crazy to think, but they could theoretically FINISH the whole show by next year. Not release, but finish--or nearly. If they write season two by Feb--which is absolutely possible--they could film it next spring, then start on season three next summer/fall.
It's crazy to think about after all these years of waiting, we could have it in such a condensed time period.

I had always taken all three to be fraternal triplets. They would have to find an actor who looked like Dylan to do it that way, of course. Didn't someone suggest somewhere that they were identical triplets, with Isadora being transgender? I like that idea, both for the representation it entails and as a relatively elegant answer to the identical-fraternal-triplets issue.

^ I had also heard a theory that Isadora and Duncan are fraternal triplets but are both genderqueer.
