'House of the Dragon': Olivia Cooke Doesn't See Alicent as a Villain

HouseOfTheDragon star, Olivia Cooke, doesn't see Alicent as a villain.

Olivia Cooke, as it turned out, made her final appearance of the first season of House of the Dragon in last week's penultimate episode, 'The Green Council'. Her character, Alicent, is now the Dowager Queen of Westeros following the death of King Viserys , and has schemed and plotted to place her deplorable son, Aegon, atop the Iron Throne.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking with Deadline after the finale aired, Cooke offered her take on Alicent, how she saw her character, and the fan reaction to her character - who has even been compared to Cersei Lannister, the villainous matriarch of the Westerosi royal family in Game of Thrones.
