It definitely feels like Kassius Nelson is Fiona. With "just like sibs" written under the post. She is older then I was thinking. I wonder if they are cutting the Klaus and Fiona romantic plot from TGG.

It's not uncommon to have 20-somethings portray teenagers.

It's not uncommon to have 20-somethings portray teenagers. Yeah that is totally true but since Louis Hynes is 16 it might come across weird. Also the show has been pretty much casting the age. For instants the Quagmire triplets, Carmelita Spats and the Baudelaires are pretty close to the age of the characters. So it seems odd for them to have a 20 year old being a teenager when they have casts teens to play teens in the past

And if I recall correctly Fiona is older than Violet in the story, so the age gap of the actors is pretty similar to the age gap in the book (Unless I'm completely misremembering things). A 20 year old playing someone who's in their mid to late teens is pretty acceptable. With costuming and makeup she'll likely look younger in the show then she does in these instagram posts anyway.

Fiona's and Klaus's relationship is short lived and never develops beyond a very innocent kiss. The showrunners are likely going for resemblance and quality of acting if this is in fact Fiona.
I don't see any issue with her kissing Louis. It's part of the job and most actors understand that separation between themselves and actions the character they portray make.

Sure, a four year age gap isn’t much, if they’re both adults. However, the difference between 20 years old and 16 years old is a lot more than, say, 20 years old and 24 years old.
I don’t want to take this too seriously since at this point it’s all purely speculation, though. I personally wouldn’t be bothered if they cut out the romantic nature of the relationship since iirc I wasn’t ever really invested in the first place. It’s been awhile since I’ve read TGG but I remember thinking that it felt contrived.

I didn't mean to start a big discussion about it. I know it's all just predictions at this point and Obviously they will handle it well for the show.
TGG relationship always seemed forced to me. It seemed like Handler felt he needed to give Klaus one since Violet had a connection with Quigley in the book before.

The age of consent is 16 years old in both Canada (Where the show is filmed) and the UK (Where Louis is from). So I'm not sure the age difference is that big of a deal. TGG relationship always seemed forced to me. It seemed like Handler felt he needed to give Klaus one since Violet had a connection with Quigley in the book before. I'll agree it feels forced ,but for me I think that's probably because both relationships develop in a matter of hours rather than having time to develop naturally. At the same time, it's not entirely unrealistic, even if it is plot convenient. They're teenagers, they've been isolated and stranded in a world made up of treacherous adults, it kind of makes sense that they'd emotionally latch onto the few noble people in their age group. Violet and Klaus were worn down, I think they just wanted to feel something beyond the usual despair. I think it makes sense for the characters, it's just bad, forced, timing.

P sure that girl is just a buddy of his, as he tagged the same pic on Twitter as "Sister from another mister."

If these are our terms, the relationship between Violet and Quigley can hardly be classed as any less implausible; it has all the same characteristics cited above as flaws of Klaus and Fiona's brief romance, and yet we are to be content with accepting this as a true and pure love from two star-crossed lovers, calling one another's name poignantly into the void? But the fandom has always been more casually accepting of Quigley than Fiona.

I think the difference for me at least is simply that I really like Violet and Quigley and I really like the way they interact: Violet's my absolute favourite character and, well, I don't know quite where Quigley sits, but somewhere near the top (of the waterfall, haha). Anyway, Violet and Quigley just seem to fit well together; they always just seemed sweet and comfortable with each other, but Fiona and Klaus ... I didn't feel it was contrived, exactly, but I really don't like Fiona so I never liked the connection between her and Klaus. It felt awkward and somehow unbalanced, like they weren't really on the same page. I thought it was sad, particularly for Klaus, but I was simultaneously glad that it ended so quickly.
They're both connections formed over very short times, it's true, but they're with totally different characters which makes for totally different relationships; one simply seems to work better than the other (at least for me).

http://instagr.am/p/BgJPIZsHE4J (sorry if the link doesn't work) But basically Usman Ally posted this pic on instragm with someone who appears to be a 20 year old actress named Kassius Nelson. (Malina Weissman also follows her on instagram) So... a possible Fiona?? YESSSS WOW I LOVE THIS.

Probably not, as you can still see that actor in the Reptile Room Part 2 and he's definitely not playing Bruce, or at least not the Bruce of the books. He's just one of the people hauling away Monty's reptiles after the Baudelaires exit the maze. And now for another update in the increasingly strange Bruce(?) Saga. IMDB is now saying that Geraldo Barcala is now playing the uncredited role of "Doctor" in the Austere Academy parts one and two, and the Slippery Slope part one.

It looks like Geraldo Barcala is based out of Vancouver. So my guess is that he is just an Extra. When you look at his Bio it appears like he mostly appears as an extra. The simplest answer is he is just playing a background character in THH and thought we would not notice that it was the same actor because he has less then a minute of screen time in season 1

The simplest answer is he is just playing a background character in THH I mean, he might very well play a Doctor in the Hostile Hospital but look at the episodes he's credited for. That's three different episodes in two different seasons as the same background character. Which means... something ? Probably ?
