“I think Ryan said we weren’t learning any more about the characters, which I disagree with slightly, but it’s OK,” continued Cooke. “It’s his show.”The actor reportedly laughed after positing the scene could end up on a blooper reel, suggesting it might truly never see the light of day. For those keeping up with the show, however, Cooke’s character, Queen Alicent Hightower, is clearly still a red-blooded royal.
Hightower notably explored her carnal lust and pleasures with Ser Criston Cole in Sunday’s Season 2 premiere and, as a young mother of three who married her friend’s father, Viserys Targaryen, as a child, never got to have a flirtatious youth herself.“I thought there’d be way more,” she added about her sex scenes in the show, “and so I’m relieved that when it has been used for me, it’s showing Alicent being pleasured, which is amazing and doesn’t feel gratuitous.
Cooke finds the anguish of her character’s crumbling friendship with Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen just as engrossing since the two royals grew up together as best friends — only for the scheme-laden world of politics to pull them apart. “They practiced proper adult relationships on each other,” Cook told Elle. “When you break up with a friend, it’s so much more heartbreaking than breaking up with a lover a lot of the time, because they know every single part of you, and it’s so much more vulnerable.
