Since “House of the Dragon” began its first season, fans have been feeling strange undertones in the relationship between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower. The characters played in their younger years Millie Alcock and Emily Carey, the latter has been confirmed diverse The actors discussed the intimacy that might exist between their characters.
“I mean, we kind of started that speech,” said Carey. “We were in the rehearsal room…I think it’s episode 4. Not necessarily something we’ve talked about yet. We were making a scene, and Millie and I looked at each other like, ‘It felt like we were about to kiss?’ That was really weird!” And so we talked about it. “.
Curry added, “We weren’t ‘making them gay’ or ‘luring them as queerat’, or anything like that. It’s just, if you want to read it and see it that way, do it. If you want to see them as more than just friends, do it.” That. If you’re not, no… they’re 14-year-old girls, who don’t know the difference between platonic and romantic.”
In a new interview with New York timesRhaenyra’s older actress Emma Darcy has openly confirmed that the “sexy energy” was present between the two characters early on in their relationship. However, Darcy is skeptical that this energy will show up in anything physical given the character’s arcs throughout the season.
“This kind of erotic energy is very present in their early relationship,” Darcy said. “I believe that Rainera is primarily driven by a deep desire to be known and seen. The pain and the pain are so dominant that I don’t know if there is space, at this point, for conscious interaction with sexual lust, but she certainly craves the ancient physical intimacy they shared.” It’s different from what she shares with her current husband and children. A different form of communication.”
Olivia Cook, who plays the older Aliscent, echoed Darcy, saying, “I don’t know if Aliscent knows what it feels like to feel these things now. There are layers and layers of oppression. Perhaps sexuality and lust are a sedimentary layer in prehistoric times now. Aliscent’s point of view, I don’t think she’s self-aware, in terms of how she’s feeling, to know what’s driving her to connect with Rhinera again.”
Two episodes remain in the first season of “House of the Dragon,” which airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET. HBO has already renewed the series for a second season.
