But to have two different actors specifically credited as Vortigan? The actor credited in the new press release has actually done a lot of stuff. The example you're giving is different, because 1) The Queen of Hearts is a title. 2) We never saw Jennifer Koenig and Barbara Hershey credited in the same episode. 3) Jennifer Koenig was the only stand in, while with Vortigan we now have 2 credited actors. Or two credited stand-ins.... the twist might be that Nimue has spilt-personality disorder.

Or Vortigan is the Darkness' true form, and Nimue's life was the price Merlin had to pay.
