My theory about what will happen in Helaena in season 2 🕷️
So we haven’t seen much footage of Helaena compared to the other characters and many have speculated that she won’t be having an active role , but what if her footage is too spoilery?
The thing that we know for sure is b&c and then Jehaerys funeral
I want to believe the writers made her a dreamer for a reason and that reason is so she can have a more active role bc in the books she doesn’t really do anything, due to her grief turned into madness of course.
In the new trailer we see a footage of Helaena during the riot
Many believe that it’s right after the funeral but in my opinion it isn’t, the fabric and the pattern of the dress is obviously difficult
And we also see her in this dress
And also people say that this is the funeral dress, but the funeral one has more black fabric.
In the leaks it is said that Helaena is pregnant with Maelor, so what if she doesn’t go mad after Jaeherys death but after Maelor’s.
There is also this scene in the trailer which I don’t know if it’s Alicent or Helaena but it might be during b&c.
Bethany Antonia (who plays Baela) said in and interview that the big difference from the book is that the kids will be more active (I’m so excited for Baela and Rhaena love love love them) I hope applies to Helaena as well!
I want to see her relationship with Aegon (them grieving together or Helaena visiting him after Rooks rest which doesnt happen in the book) with Aemond,Alicent and of course her kids!
If the exclude her from the story im gonna be mad
The fact that there aren’t any spoilers yet from people who were on the screening of episode 1 is so weird but for the best, only thing I saw was someone on tiktok saying that b&c was really terrifying.

(Love him)
I think is ironic how TB accepted the series giving Aegon an rapist plot, which doesn't exist in the book. But cry about book canon when the change the internet husband.
When will people understand that BOTH Alicent and Rhaenyra did bad things to each other because of patriarchy. Viserys married Alicent and Rhaenyra resented her for that and because of patriarchal society she wasn’t able to comprehend that her father was in the wrong.
We also see that despite the efforts made by Alicent, Rhaenyra still pushes her away and after they seem to re establish their friendship Rhaenyra lies to her and because of that gets Otto fired (we see Otto being the only one there for Alicent, he was a shit father but Alicent can’t put her head around that fact) the moment we see Alicent feel hatred towards Rhaenyra is when she learns that she lied to her.
When we see adult Alicent and Rhaenyra, Alicent is clearly rude to her and wants to see baby Joffrey. She also keeps repeating that Rhaenyra’s kid are bastards, which is true and some of y’all act like it isn’t.
I enjoy and appreciate both of them, even Emma D’arcy said that the show evolves around two smart woman who are put against each other because of patricahy, it’s such a great written show and talks about so many things.
The fact that b&c is going to be overshadowed by Alicole having sex is making me sick to my stomach. Olivia said that Alicent has lost her position as queen so now she is a bit lost so they writers probably wanted to give her a different storyline to gain more guilt and it’s absolutely stupid at that point.
she must love this dress
