“It was superb and I used to be very hungover. Actually dangerous. I by no means do this,” Cooke stated. “I don’t keep in mind getting dwelling. I keep in mind, I tipped my head right down to put my hair in a pony[tail] and fell over. I awakened the subsequent day and I had a chip in my tooth. A really slight chip, however sufficient that the tongue magnifies it. And also you’re like, ‘What have I finished?’ Nobody knew on set… till now.”
Throughout the first 5 episodes of the present, the position of Hightower was performed by Emily Carey, 19. Hightower is Princess Rhaenyra’s former greatest pal turned stepmother. She’s a individuals pleaser and an final good woman: She’s pious and she or he’s very judgmental of Rhaenyra within the fourth episode when she hears that Rhaenyra had a wild night time out and presumably had intercourse. Actually, Hightower is so holier-than-thou that she turns towards Rhaenyra due to this.
So, for sure, this conduct from Cooke is one thing that Hightower herself would flip her nostril up at.
Hightower was round 14 to 19 within the first few episodes of the present, when she was performed by Carey. Now, as Cooke takes over the position, the character is round 30.
