Milly Alcock and Emily Carey Won't Return for Season 2

Milly Alcock and Emily Carey won't return to House of the Dragon.

Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen's younger versions are replaced by their older counterparts in episode 6.

Ryan Condal said Alcock and Carey may return as Alicent and Rhaenyra as teenagers.

Alicent and Rhaenyra are now mothers as House of the Dragon prepares for war.

Olivia Cooke plays Alicent, and Emma D'Arcy plays Rhaenyra.

Alcock and Carey played teen princess Rhaenyra and her friend Alicent, who marries her father.

Otto warned that if Rhaenyra asserts her power brutally, Alicent's family will be in danger.
