A TV series can show many phases in a character’s life, but this also requires a change in the cast when showcasing a character’s progress from childhood to adulthood. This process is what’s been disappointingHouse of the Dragonfans ever since they learned that two fan favorites would be leaving the show.
Emily Carey and Milly Alcock, both of whom play young Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen respectively, will be leaving the show after their five-episode run in the fantasy drama TV series. This would naturally spark further concerns for the future of the other fan-favorite actors in the series, but Matt Smith assures us that it’ll be alright.

House of the Dragonhas been hugely successful among the oldGame of Thronesfans and new ones alike. The show is getting praised for its brilliantly written plot, convincing performances, and impressive quality of production.

But what made the fans much sadder is the departure of the stars who portray them, which was mainly due to the huge skips in time to show what the characters of Rhaenyra and Alicent have developed into, now played by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke.
The departure of the two actors will be followed by a jump in the timeline ofHouse of the Dragonby 10 full years, which does warrant their departure since they will be too young to portray their respective characters.
