House of the Dragon fans upset ‘insane chemistry’ won’t feature in Season 2
With House of the Dragon Season 2 only days away, some fans are upset that one pair’s “insane chemistry” won’t be seen in the actual show.
Let’s face it — it’s all going to kick off inHouse of the Dragon Season 2. The internet has beenplagued with leakstrue and false, and the cast have beenweighing inon what could be leaks of their own.
Now that the press tour is drawing to a close,House of the Dragon viewershave picked up on “insane” chemistry between Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon) and Phia Saban (Helaena), and are gutted that it isn’t the same in the show.
“God, it’s too bad they won’t have THIS chemistry in the show,” one fanpostedon Reddit, commenting on a clip of the pair playing a game of this or that.
A second agreed, “Tom gets on with literally everyone. I absolutely adore him and Phia is so ADORABLE,” while a third weighed in, “He seems like such a sweetheart. I’ve seen clips of him also being very friendly with the staff working behind the scenes at the HOTD events. An all-around nice person. (Also love Phia, she’s so cute).”
However, fans are right — it’s incredibly unlikely that Aegon and Helaena would ever see each other in a similar way, thanks to both theoriginal booksand what we’ve seen inHouse of the Dragon Season 1.
The source material only goes so far as to allude that the duo have “great affection” for each other, with their marriage one of duty and convenience rather than love and passion. Preventing civil war is at the top of the agenda, not feelings.

By the end of Season 1, Alicent protects Aegon and is spared by Rhaenys, alongside the rest of his family. Helaena was last seen being escorted to safety by Christon Cole — who is set to have a more surprising role during theBlood and Cheesehavoc.
Even so, it’s thought that Aegon’s role is getting “meatier” in upcoming episodes, with fans hoping that this translates to exploring his relationship with Helaena in more depth.
“Couldn’t agree more. I also just want Phia Saban to have more screen time before B&C and I hope Season 2 will be Tom Glynn-Carney’s time to shine,” another fanmused.
“Three or four episodes in and they’re both going to be vegetables for the foreseeable future,” one fan grimaced.
