When asked them how they feel about Ser Criston's sexual relationship with Alicent after his past with Rhaenyra, Olivia admitted: "You know what, it didn't really come up for me. You weren't present in the room when that happened."

Emma then joked: "How many sex scenes did you do? You didn't think of me in one of them." More seriously, Olivia added: "It is weird. That was Rhaenyra's first fledgling romance apart from Daemon mere hours before, and for Alicent it's her first really full-bodied experience of passion."

Emma also revealed what Rhaenyra would be doing if she existed in our world with no throne to worry about: "Sort of inevitably managing some group of men." Olivia then built on that, saying: "I think they'd be captain of the England football team."

As for Alicent, Olivia deadpanned: "She'd be like a trad wife."
