will take over the role of Alicent Hightower. Carey is sad to say goodbye, of course, but she’s refreshingly positive about the situation.
“It’s Olivia Cooke,” she said. “She is just a phenomenal actor and I’ve admired her for years and years.” Carey may have struggled to pass Alicent on to someone else, but sharing the character with Cooke makes it easier. “I cannot wait to see the Alicent she’s created, because it is almost like we’re playing two different characters.” And her assessment rings true: Carey’s Alicent was naive and moldable, a chess piece in everyone else’s game.
“I was expecting a lot of hate for Alicent because in the book, she is a villain,” she said. In actuality, however, many people have taken Alicent’s side and declared themselves “Team Green,” as Carey calls it, representing those who support Alicent and her son’s ascendency to the Iron Throne. “Some people are being steered in my direction, which has been fun and interesting to see. A lot of people unexpectedly are admiring that moment for the character.
Whether fans will support Cooke’s Alicent is less clear. But at the moment, Carey is more focused on taking it slow now that her five-week run onhas come to an end. “It’s been a crazy whirlwind,” she said. “Now, I’m just chilling and letting things happen.” She’s taking things in as they come, just like she did with the clothes that walked the Fendi runway.
