At the time, creator Ryan Condal explained why they’d made the change from Jaehaerys not being murdered in Aliecent’s room, as he in the books. He : “We knew it would be horrifying and brutal – we didn’t want it to be gratuitous or over the top. Yes, it’s a little child, and it’s awful. But because we don’t know Jaehaerys as a point-of-view character, it made more sense to experience that terrible event through Helaena’s eyes.

“You instinctually know what’s happening off screen, but I think it’s the emotional grip of experiencing that through Helaena’s eyes that really gets me still, and I’ve seen it 100 times.”

George RR Martin agreed with those who had read the books that he found the series adaptation of Blood and Cheese “underwhelming, a disappointment and watered down from what they were expecting.”
