We finally managed to confirm (thanks to icarus) that Gael is being played by a girl named Arabella Morton who's another local to Brisbane Australia. You can see her picture on the front page news story.
Aside from the fact she's the cutest little thing ever, I don't really know what to say about her. I presume she's Rhince's daughter and Rhince came along on the Dawn Treader to find her and her mom who were captured by Pug etc etc. At least, I think that's what I read somewhere.
Anyways, should be curious to see how this turns out in the movie.
Another option is that Gael is Rhince's niece, as she has an aunt.
I'm wondering what they'll be doing with this character. If they don't alter the main storyline significantly by adding her, or cut things to make her fit, I think I'll be alright with it.
Aside, Arabella is a cutie.

give the atmosphere a chance.
Simply follow where I lead;

Do we have an approximate age for Arabella? Because the headshot looks a bit younger (around 7?) then I was placing her from the video (closer to 9 or 10).
She is an adorable girl. Still wondering what her role is and what affect if will have on the film.

I have an exact age for Arabella - she's 9 years old at present.
Also for reference, here is the current known state of the Gael Family:
Arabella Morton - Gael
Unknown - Gael's Mum
Catarina Hebbard - Gael's AuntJorel Reynolds - Stunt Double for Gael
Bridgette Ward - Body Double for Gael
So I was close. Thanks, icarus!

Aw, she's so cute! And I rarely use that word unless it's deserved.
Doesn't give us much more information, as this subject has already been speculated within an inch of its life... oh well. maybe we'll hear more soon. I've been relatively neutral about little miss MLG ever since she showed up; I'll stay that way until we know a bit more about who she really is.
8 years old, eh? I believe that was the exact age originally mentioned in the casting call, so that makes sense.

Yeah she is the same age as my sister, so if we still lived their my sister could of played here lol. Unlikely though.
We finally put a name to the face.....I'm sure she will do well in the movie. I dont think it will affect it too much!

I am pleased to know who is actually playing Gael/MLG. I have a feeling that this new character (along with the pertinent others) and whatever the new situation is that introduces her will work in VDT.
Just an instinctive or intuitive sense after watching the video and reading all the speculations about this new character. With such a cutie in that role, I don't think that evoking sympathy for this character, if it was necessary, would have been a big challenge for director Michael Apted.
It will be most interesting to find out how this character and her situation in VDT unfolds come this December.

There is definitely no "a" in definite.
The Mind earns by doing; the Heart earns by trying.
I have a theory about why they added this character: it's the "Rudy/Olivia" scenario. You know (well, maybe you know ), on the Cosby Show, when Rudy started to grow up and lose her little-girl cuteness, they added Olivia to the show to bring back the "cute" factor.
Maybe they think that since Georgie has grown up, they want to recapture the "cute" factor that was present in LWW. So they are introducing Gael.
It was only the beginning of the true story, which goes on forever, and in which every chapter is better than the one before.
Yeah Thats the most likley reason for it. Endless she in their to chnage the story alot.
FINALLY we know who plays MLGael!
Maybe they think that since Georgie has grown up, they want to recapture the "cute" factor that was present in LWW. So they are introducing Gael.
Interesting thought. It sounds very plausible! I agree with you.
Though, personally, I thought that Lucy's "Cute Factor" was present in PC, too. Admittedly, it will probably be gone by now; Georgie is such a young lady!
Miss Arabella will certainly make up for any possible lack of cute in VDT.

She was born Nov 18, 2000. So she's 10 years old, but was 9 at the time of filming.
I actually like the adding of her. Aside from her being sooo cute, from the clips we saw of her she seems to be a good little actress (Though I don't have much room to say that since almost every video we've had, has had her having little parts) I am though, very excited about her storyline. Being Rhince's daughter and her mother being captured by Pug. I think this will be very interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing it in VOTD.
further up and further in, That is a possibility. Lucy was very cute in LWW and she still had some of that in PC. Though from the pictures I've seen of her now she has grown into a fine young lady. It certainly is a fact though that Gael is cute. I can't wait for the movie!
