Well, it's completely possible that they cast a normal sized person to play him, they don't like to cast fat people. When is Comic con? I can't wait to hear some from there. July 9th-12th. Last year they released the casting video on July 25th, so maybe we get it a little earlier this year.

If Manderly is in I believe he will be a hand picked actor, especially if they are going after fan favorites like Ian McNeice and Brendan Gleeson, so he won't appear in any casting calls. There isn't much precedent for that actually. I remember people (myself included) using that argument last year on AFOIAF as to why there'd been no casting call for Arianne and Wyman and it didn't pan out then either. Now I'm pretty convinced that if there isn't a casting call, there isn't a character either. (Except in cases like with Karsi where they gender-swap a character from the casting call or with Malko where they changed his name from Luther which it was in the casting call).
Actually that happens every season. There was no casting call for Doran and the High Sparrow. They were probably hand picked.

Well, I stand corrected then.

Hopefully the Karstark won't play the Manderly part. I would vomit.
The Stark restoration without Wyman Manderly is like a car without an engine.

Sansa still thinks Brienne is working for the Lannisters. She will believe she was sent by QC. Littlefinger will come North, as promised last series.
Davos will kill Mel at some point. Of this I am all but certain.
The Wildlings, likely led by Tormund will rebel against the NW after Jon's death and war will ensue in the North. The watch will be divided and Westeros will be weakened. Highly possible the Watch or the wall will be ruined.
Brienne will be butchered by a wild stag after randomly crossing paths with all the characters who have been missing for several series, including Beric, Thoros, GreatJon, Blackfish, Balon and Gendry. The stag will then kill Balon, whip out a pair of shades, smoke a cigarette and the stroll cooly into the Wolfswood. Before it leaves, the Stag will nod at Gendry, declaring him King. The end of series 6.

Will the showKarstarks try to betray Jon/Sansa/Rickon?
We really don't need Karstarks, what we really need is Wyman Manderly!

While I completely agree I'd rather have the Manderly story I'll bet its Karstarks they put in because they'll remind the audience Robb beheaded their Lord Rickard Karstark so that's an easy pull in. As for Manderly - it's maybe not too late, they could still fit it in, just without Frey Pies at the wedding unfortunately. He and his team could still be secret supporters, even possibly having a hand in the Winterfell underground thing (that was probably just Brienne though and that's kinda lame). And there's definitely still time for Davos to do something with the Manderly team and Rickon.

I think it's looking like early s6 will feature Ramsay trying to hunt down Sansa and Theon and her being sheltered by some of these Northern characters from the casting, starting with smaller fish like this "Father" from the casting call and ending with the Big Kahuna; our new Umber. That'll then reunite her with Rickon and put her in the position to make a move against the Boltons. I wasn't really sure about what was going to happen for this storyline but this sounds pretty plausible to me.

"The Karstarks are Northmen, they won't forgive the killing of their lord" Karstarks can't just say that "hey nevermind, we'll help the Starks, even though we abandoned them. Umbers can't be alone in helping the Starks, thus we would need the Manderly's. Why would you want to remove the most beautiful arch in ADWD? Davos can't go to Karhold..

The part of the "lord of the northern stronghold" doesn't sound at all like Manderly tbh. He sounds like a nasty piece of work and not in a good way. There's a chance it's a Karstark but I'd say it's more likely he's just some vassal of the Umbers who tries to sidle up to the Boltons in the hopes that they'll give him his liege-lord's position. He's in more episodes than our Umber character too, so maybe that'll even work out for him...
But I doubt it'll just be the Umbers who are pro-Stark. I'm pretty sure the part of the "Father" from the same set of casting calls is also a pro-Stark Northman who'll help Sansa out.

I'm going to guess by "you" you meant HBO, right? I think my wording was confusing as I wasn't implying the Karstarks would ally with the Starks/Northmen even though they should. I said I'll bet they are casting the Karstarks because it's already been a prior part of the show/story when Robb beheaded Rickard Karstark (thus easy to pull into the story) and there will likely be confrontation there ... It's not that I want that or agree with it but unless we get indication over the next couple of months they are casting for House Manderly, we may not get them. Some already think it's too late for that story arc. I think they could do it - but without knowing what is coming from WoW and how much has to be crammed into season 6 - it's impossible to know. Lots of bits we said had to be in the show weren't over the seasons and we got over it. I wouldn't be crushed if they leave out the Manderlys.

Wanting the Manderly's to be part of the show is one thing. Interpreting any of these casting calls to be a Manderly is quite another. That's just not happening no matter how much you wish upon a star.

When do you think Boltons will be removed from Winterfell?
My guess is 6x05-6x07.

That honour should belong to Stannis. Now that he's dead it'll be the northern lords. I could see it playing like KotV sieging the castle, with northmen coming to the rescue in the last moment ala Eomer & rohirrim. Ramsay gets killed by whoever has the Bolton blood speech, the Umbers? The most awesome scenario would be Theon offing him, but sadly that's not happening. Roose escapes. After winning the battle (aka getting his ass saved by northerners) LF propably comes to greet Sansa who kills him.

The Umbers are probably involved with Davos in the whole Rickon search plotline (the character is only in 2 episodes remember). I think we'll get stuff at the Last Hearth and it's doubtful they even have them physically interacting with the Boltons.
The Karstarks are probably involved with Roose and the gang as allies (because there is that connection in the books) but they probably won't be really reliable once the tide turns with the Vale forces.
LF can play both sides because as far as Roose knows, LF is pledging the Vale support against the crown which is what he told him he'd do in S5. It might be one of those things where they arrive as friends and then overthrow the Boltons once inside the gates.
With that taken care of, it will be LF trying to locate Sansa in order to make good on his deal with the Vale lords which will probably eventually be resolved by the end of the season since I think Sansa and LF as a duo are probably a thing for most of the rest of the books (until Sansa dummies him presumably).

The other possibility I could see happening with the Karstarks is that they are the ones Sansa and Theon run into with Sansa probably trying to get to Jon at the Wall since she knows he's LC. And with the Karstarks not being tight with the Starks anymore, it could possibly lead to a remixed Alys Karstark situation with her escaping and getting to the Wall later.

BTW when writing my previous post I forgot that Sansa isn't in WF anymore.
