Arabella Morton plays the role of Gael in the film, and there has been speculation about the role that the character plays in the film, as she doesn’t appear in the book. What makes her an important part of the story as it plays out on film? Well, there is some speculation!
One rumor says that she plays Rhince’s daughter, and that being Rhince’s motive for joining the voyage: to find Gael and her mother.
Ask all you want, I won’t be spilling anything. Arabella is a total sweetheart, though.
