Emma D’Arcy and Matt Smith sent a heartfelt message to former House of the Dragon co-star Milly Alcock, admitting they still miss the actress during a recent Season 3 interview.

The moment came as the cast reflected on the HBO fantasy drama’s journey and the people who helped shape its early chapters. Although the conversation was largely focused on the future of the series, it briefly turned toward a familiar name from its past.

What followed was a warm exchange that highlighted the lasting bond between the actors, even as their careers continue to take them in different directions.

Emma D’Arcy and Matt Smith say they still miss Milly Alcock

The moment came during a recent House of the Dragon Season 3 interview when Emma D’Arcy and Matt Smith were asked whether they had a message for Milly Alcock, who is preparing to lead her own major franchise with Supergirl. The pair did not hesitate;

“Can you just send our love?” D’Arcy said before adding, “We miss her.”

Smith immediately echoed the sentiment and joined D’Arcy in sending his love to their former co-star. The actor also joked that saying they were proud of Alcock might sound “patronizing,” prompting laughter during the interview.

The exchange offered a touching reminder of the connection shared by the cast during the show’s early years. Although Alcock’s time on the series was relatively brief, her portrayal of young Rhaenyra Targaryen helped establish one of the franchise’s most important characters before D’Arcy later took over the role.

The comments came as D’Arcy and Smith discussed the upcoming third season of House of the Dragon. D’Arcy teased that Rhaenyra is finally moving into action after spending much of the previous season restrained by advisers and political realities, while Smith suggested Daemon is returning to more familiar territory centered on war and violence.

Milly Alcock has spoken openly about fame after House of the Dragon

Milly Alcock’s career has continued to rise since her breakout performance on House of the Dragon. The actress was chosen by James Gunn to become the DC Universe’s new Supergirl and is expected to play a major role in the franchise moving forward.

However, the transition has not come without challenges. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Alcock recently reflected on the public scrutiny that followed her success on HBO’s fantasy drama.

“That experience made me realize that as a woman, just existing in that space, you’re going to be commented on,” Alcock said.

The actress also revealed that after finishing House of the Dragon, she briefly considered staying away from large franchise projects altogether. During a period where work opportunities slowed, she admitted she worried about the future of her career before ultimately embracing the opportunity to join the DC Universe.

Today, Alcock stands on the verge of another major chapter as Supergirl approaches its release. But judging by the affection shown by D’Arcy and Smith, she remains an important part of the House of the Dragon family, even as her journey takes her far beyond Westeros.
