"House of the Dragon" star Emma D'Arcy said they were confused about Rhaenyra being changed.
D'Arcy took over the role from Milly Alcock in the latest episode.
D'Arcy said they are aware of fans' love for Alcock as Rhaenyra.
"House of the Dragon" star Emma D' Arcy said that they felt "conflicted" about their first appearance in the show.
Milly Alcock played the role of Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first five episodes. After a time jump in the latest episode, Alcock is replaced by D'Arcy as Rhaenyra.
The "House of the Dragon" star reflected on the fans mourning Alcock's departure in an interview with the Independent.
Isn't it complex? "D' Arcy said that." It is hard to meet an audience. When they lose Milly, they only meet me in a place of grief. I'm alive and well. I know of that.
When Matt Smith took the lead in "Doctor Who" after David Tennant's time as the Doctor, they spoke to him about it.
It's like the 'Doctor Who' curse, according to Matt, who had a nice chat with me. They said you need to regenerate. Rhaenyra is going to change her appearance in a few hours.
Smith praised the performance of the young stars in the show.
Child actors played the roles of Alicent and twins Laenor and Laena in the first five episodes.
"A lot of the young actors in it are going to emerge as stars," Smith said during a Roundtable interview, which Insider attended, ahead of the series premiere of "House of the Dragon."
Alcock said that she is still getting used to her newfound fame in an interview with nylon magazine.
It makes me extremely nervous. "I'm straining to see my face constantly." Nobody should have to do that. It's a bad thing, man. I'm not sure how they can do that. I'm driving off the wall. It's not easy to navigate.
She doesn't have a lot of people to talk to in her life because her friends and family are not famous. She said that she was intimidated by the scale of the show because she hadn't done anything like it before.
It all becomes normal after you quickly adapt. I thought I was going to be fired a lot. It was frightening.
The new episodes of "House of the Dragon" can be seen on Sunday nights. There is an hour and a half later.
