"House of the Dragon" star Olivia Cooke talks about the "cut scenes" from Season 2: it will be a shock for viewers

The American series "House of the Dragon" has returned to the screens after a two-year break. The prequel actress Olivia Cooke, who played Alicent Hightower, said that due to a certain number of "cut scenes", the development of events in the second season will surprise fans of the film.

The first episode reveals a sexual relationship between King Viserys' ex-wife and Ser Christon Cole, who broke his vow of chastity when he was promoted to the Viserys' Guard. According to the star, this may shock viewers, because they have not seen any footage showing the beginning of their romance, Metro.co.uk writes.

From the very first scenes, it is clear that Alicenta Hightower is enjoying her new relationship with the knight, forgetting the past "burden" she felt with the king. The emergence of new relationships in the series may be somewhat confusing for viewers, as they will not know where they originated.

"It's interesting because there were moments that hinted at it in season two, but you know, for the sake of the appropriate timing, they just cut it out," the star said.

In addition, the actress noted that this development will shock fans because earlier Alicenta condemned Kriston, who broke his vow with Reynira.

Olivia Cooke admitted that the decision to "cut out" the scenes of the beginning of the relationship caused some difficulties with the depiction of the backstory, although she and her partner knew that everything would happen this way.
