Work at HBO and got some information for you guys about House of Dragons, as scripts for the second season are being written as we speak.

The biggest thing I should note is that HBO gave the order to remove arguably the most famous moment from the House of Blood/Dance of the Dragons: the murder of Helena's son by Blood and Cheese and the sadistic choice they make her make regarding who they kill.

The entire sequence was cut because the show runners don't want Daemon to be beyond the pale evil ordering such a cruel sequence of events. They like how fans love Matt Smith and have been talking to him about having him stick around the entire run of the show.

Prince Jaehaerys will die from illness instead. He gets sick and dies, creating tension between Aegon and his mom Alicent, with Aegon believing he's being punished for his past hedonism and usurping the throne.

The episode in question is being given top priority as a possible Emmy winning episode.
