On the biggest challenge in portraying Alicent Hightower: “She’s a product of the patriarchy who believes in tradition – that a woman’s place is to be by the man’s side, gently whispering into their ear, gently guiding. Hands-free. How do I make that active and not passive? I think that was the challenge, and what I enjoyed was trying to figure out where my empathy lay when you’re acting some morally unsound scenes.”

On the character dynamics with her co-lead Emma D’Arcy: “Because these two characters have such an intense friendship and love for each other, there needs to be that love to burn and set fire to later. In the best-case scenario, I was hoping we would fall in love with each other, and we did. We’ve been each other rocks through this whole wild process.”
