Oh thank goodness.

No multiple timeline stuff. https://t.co/laFZzfSqTS Rhaenyra will soon be played by Emma D’Arcy, while Alicent will be played by Olivia Cooke. While the actors play the same characters, Alcock and Carey never interacted with those who essay the roles of the older versions of their characters. In an interview with The Official Game of Thrones Podcast: House of the Dragon, Emily Carey talked about playing the younger version of Alicent and passing the character on to Cooke. She said that she and co-star Milly Alcock never interacted with Cooke or D’Arcy, and were advised not to as they are essentially playing two different characters. She shared: "I had so much creative freedom in this role, in a sense, it’s like we’re playing two completely different characters. Me and Olivia didn’t talk at all about the character or the job, in the same way Emma and Milly didn’t. We were advised not to because it is like we’re literally playing completely different people." She further shared: "Ten years is a really long time, you know? You’re seeing them go from practically children into grown women, there’s a lot of growing up to do, so yeah, they treated us like different characters. It didn’t feel like I was playing a younger version of a character that I’m so used to doing at this point, maybe one day I will be the main one and someone will be playing younger versions of me."
