Rhaenyra comforting Alicent and Mysaria HOUSE OF THE DRAGON — 1.04 // 2.06
“It wasn’t scripted as a kiss. I think it was scripted as … there’s just breath between them or something, and then whatever happens is interrupted,” Mizuno told TheWrap [...]. “Because we were separate in the room … [and] Mysaria has told this story, [D’Arcy] felt the instinct to hold her, to comfort her,” she added. “From that, it felt so organic to go into the kiss.” (x)
Hess continued: “Olivia has told me she believes — and this is her headcanon — that they at some point kissed or made out or had some kind of physical interaction that Alicent’s mother found out about and forbade. And that was Olivia’s head story, ‘Oh, I can’t do that. That’s not right.’ And that’s the background for her in their relationship going forward. I would be 100% down with that.” (x)
Milly Alcock and Emily Carey — who starred as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower in the first half of HBO's "House of the Dragon" — said it felt like they were "about to kiss" after filming a scene in episode four. In the scene, the pair, who were once best friends, reconnect while sitting on a bench after a series of obstacles push them away from each other. (x)
