was she really necessary? Really?

I don't get how you could think that? The Bolton's whole claim to the North hinges on the marriage of Ramsay and "Arya." With no known surviving sons and Sansa fled, the best direct claim to Winterfell is through Arya. It has to be done through a legal marriage to placate the remaining Northern lords: there's still a "Stark" of Winterfell, the Boltons aren't conquerors. Everyone knows Jeyne isn't really Arya but they're not going to challenge the Boltons (not directly; Manderlay knows about Rickon).

And from a character standpoint, for Jeyne it's about how while things are shitty when you're a major noble (like Sansa), it's even worse to be pretty much noone. For Theon, his relationship with Jeyne is this whole moral arc and rediscovering of his own identity from the brink of madness. That's pretty major stuff.

Oh, and Jeyne Poole did appear in the first episode. But really, they could (and most likely will) still do the "Arya" story next season with just any Northern girl; as long as Theon "confirms" that she is the Arya he lived with in Winterfell then the criteria for the plotline are met. It has more impact with Jeyne because she is also someone Theon knew, but either works.

DA

I think anon's remark was referring to Myranda, not Jeyne.
