‘House of the Dragon’ Actor Eve Best on Rhaenys’ Game-Changing Scene and Filming That Epic Dragon Battle: ‘She Had to Take That Responsibility’
Eve Best explains the first major dragon battle in 'House of the Dragon', which saw the death of her character Rhaenys

Please tell him how you feel!” Because yet again, in spite of the fact that it’s absolutely breaking her apart, to be reminded and to see this — as she imagines — presence of another woman via the illegitimate children, she’s yet again putting that aside and saying to Corlys, “You have to acknowledge and you have to accept that he could be your heir — and you need to do right by him.”
