Condal also reminded the publication thatGame of Throneswas not keen on flashbacks — however,House of the Dragonmay be able to get “a little bit more fancy.”
“There are things that we haven’t fully sorted out,” he added. “I’m not closing the door on anything. So there, how’s that for an answer?”
AsHouse of the Dragon’splot prepares for war, the series has jumped ahead to show Alicent and Rhaenyra as mothers. Emma D’Arcy has now taken on the role of Rhaenyra, andOlivia Cookeis portraying Alicent.
With Alcock and Carey in the roles, the plot followed the tumultuous relationship between teen princess Rhaenyra and Alicent — a friend who eventually marries Rhaenyra’s much-older father.
Episode 5(the last one in which Carey and Alcock were seen) showed Rhaenyra agreeing to marry her cousin Laenor (John MacMillan). The pair, however, agreed to a secret open marriage, encouraging each other to pursue who they’re genuinely attracted to.
Meanwhile, Alicent was informed that her husband, King Viserys (Paddy Considine), would soon die of an illness. Her father, Otto (Rhys Ifans), warned that when Rhaenyra becomes queen, Alicent’s own family would be at risk — should Rhaenyra assert her power through brutal measures.
