cant believe hotd showrunners read fire & blood and were like what if we make the dance of the dragons a lesbian divorce drama.
Milly Alcock and Emily Carey, the actors of the young versions of the characters, saw it in the script and leaned into it in their acting.
"It's something we brought up with Clare Kilner, one of the directors we also work with for the younger version of the characters," Carey added. "It was something I was immediately conscious of when I read the script as a queer woman myself."Carey said that her initial reaction to the script read-through was that Rhaenyra and Alicent are "in love a little bit," and so the actors played around with the idea of young girls having a special emotional closeness to their best friends.
"I think any woman could think back to the best friend that they had at 14 years old, and it's a relationship and a closeness unlike any other," Carey said. "You do toe the line between platonic and romantic."
