Martin’s bestselling book about the conflagration, “Fire & Blood,” spans generations — children are born and grow into adulthood within the two warring factions of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her former best friend turned stepmother, Queen Alicent Hightower.

Katcy Stephan SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers through Episode 5 of ‘House of the Dragon,’ which aired on HBO on Sept. 18 and is streaming on HBO Max.  Emily Carey isn’t here for any Alicent Hightower slander. The 19-year-old “House of the Dragon” star knows her character may not immediately win hearts — the idea of your best friend marrying your father is a tough pill to swallow, after all.  But Carey insists there’s much beneath the surface for the young queen, who they believe deserves more sympathy.   “Marrying Viserys is a choice. But it was never her choice to make. The choice was made by the men around her. The amount of misogyny that Rhaenyra faces, Alicent gets just as much,” the actor tells Variety ahead of the series’ fifth episode. 

House Of The Dragon, describing it as a “part-time job”.The actor has her biggest role yet in the Game Of Thrones spin-off, where she plays the young version of Rhaenyra Targaryen opposite Matt Smith, Paddy Considine and Rhys Ifans.After building a career primarily in Australian dramas, Alcock’s ascent to worldwide fame has taken some adjustment. Asked by Nylon what it’s like being a lead on a popular series with a huge, engaged fan base, Alcock replied: “It’s like a part-time job, really. I don’t know.“I’m trying to not look at it and trying not to engage with it because it doesn’t benefit me.

Ethan Shanfeld Aside from Westerosi politics and fire-breathing beasts, HBO’s “House of the Dragon” plots the demise of a friendship between Young Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) and Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey), who marries Rhae’s father, King Viserys (Paddy Considine), and threatens her friend’s heirdom with a newborn son. As Alcock noted in an interview with Nylon, “‘House of the Dragon’ highlights yes, the patriarchy, yes, misogyny, but also the internalized misogyny that these two women are forced to face. They’re forced to be put at odds with one another by the choices by men.” Since the characters are set in opposition due to decisions made by their fathers, Alcock added that she finds it “ironic” that the show’s fan base — which is mostly men — is simultaneously pitting the characters against each other.

Emily Carey was asked if she will be back for House of the Dragon season two.
