The prequel to ‘Game Of Thrones‘, ‘House Of The Dragon‘, was released on August 21, 2022. The prequel follows the happenings around house Targaryen, unlike the original show, which had multiple wars between multiple houses and kingdoms. It has so far released three episodes, and the fans have come across a lot in such a short span of time. The drama series has already seen two-time jumps as well.
One of the directors of the show revealed scenes from the latest episode which couldn’t make it to the final cut. The fans are upset they couldn’t get to see the scenes.

The Deleted Scenes From ‘House Of The Dragon’
At the end of episode 2 titled, ‘The Rouge Prince,’ we witness Viserys announcing his intention to marry Alicent, daughter of Hand of the King, which triggers a storming out Rhaenyra. Episode 3 has a time jump of three years between which the wedding of King Viserys I Targaryen and Alicent Hightower happens.
Director Greg Yaitanes took to his Instagram stories to reveal the uncut scenes that would have made it between episodes 2 and 3. The production filmed scenes depicting a confrontation between Rhaenyra and Alicent after the news that Rhaenyra’s close friend would marry her father. The wedding scene was also filmed.
Sharing the image of the two fighting and confronting each other, he wrote, “Two scenes that unfortunately didn’t make it into the final cut, the aftermath fight between @millyalcock and @theemilycarey — both were quite powerful.” Another image is of the wedding scene, in which Alicent is wearing an ivory wedding dress and her head is donned with a grand tiara. Alcock is seen standing behind her. The director revealed, “This scene mirrored the scene in episode 1 where @theemilycarey was dressing @millyalcock — now reversed with heartache.”

Fans on Twitter expressed almost the same emotions: disappointment. The deleted scenes would have added more tension and complexity to the show, and the viewers are desperate to see how these scenes were filmed.
Now I am upset we don't get to see Alicent's and Viserys's wedding

I like seeing milly and emily on screen together but glad they remove this part coz it just doesn't make sense. Rhaenyra is still very much angry even after 3 years, so why would she even want to be in the same room, let alone help alicent put her wedding dress? 😭 https://t.co/CeW2sCbMpD
