Talking with roxana_hadadi, HouseoftheDragon's Emma D’Arcy & Olivia Cooke relive Rhaenyra and Alicent’s season-one arc: “The whole series is about trying to get back to each other”
We started with a big ensemble scene and ended with a big ensemble scene. It was really nice to bookend the experience with all of us together, having aged 20 years in the process. It was like feeling each other’s ribs that are protruding because we’re so weathered from the experience.
This game they are locked in is largely nonverbal, and it’s bitter and silent and stony. To name it is to begin to disarm the chasm.“Trying” is the key word, because the thing I really remember about that dinner is that trying wasn’t required. It’s this amazing thing that happens very rarely and requires a great mixture of people. Everything feels very obvious; nuanced interrelations suddenly feel incredibly obvious. As an actor, those moments are sublime.
There’s so few women in this world that I think there’s a feeling of gleefulness when men identify them as special.They’re not immune to the feeling of a powerful man bestowing his light on them. They live in this society that rewards [them] when that happens., differently than scenes with male characters?When I had that scene with Rhaenys, there was an equity that hadn’t been there before. Speaking to a woman who was also fucked by this system and trying to appeal to that was unifying.
I watched it with someone, and they gasped at the point where you took the baby with that sickly smile. So good.Rhaenyra has a difficult doorway into motherhood because motherhood becomes reified as this possible object of incapacitation and subordination, and it’s framed by the death of her mother dying in childbirth. There’s this very taut relationship with the possibility that she will be incapacitated in the same way.
