After Milly Alcock<\/a> made her return to House of the Dragon season 2<\/a> as young Rhaenyra, another very familiar character has made a surprise return, courtesy of Daemon\u2019s (Matt Smith)<\/a> disturbing visions.<\/p>\n With Daemon\u2019s side quest at Harrenhal continuing into episode 6, he was faced with a vision of his older brother, the late King Viserys<\/a>, once again played by Paddy Considine.<\/p>\n Of course, after Viserys\u2019s death in season 1, which began the entire Dance of Dragons<\/a> mess, Considine was not expected to make a return this season \u2013 but as Daemon\u2019s visions get more and more worrying, and he gets more and more desperate to steal the crown, he sees his late brother as he knew him, sitting on the Iron Throne.<\/p>\n What comes after is almost a direct replay of a conversation Viserys had with Daemon in season 1, when he confronted him over a comment Daemon made about Viserys\u2019s dead son Baelon, referring to him as \u201cthe heir for a day\u201d.<\/p>\n The conversation sees Viserys tell Daemon he should have been at his side following his wife and son\u2019s death, and that he will be naming Rhaenyra as his heir \u2013 not Daemon. He goes on to banish him to Runestone.<\/p>\n When the vision disappears, Daemon sees Ser Simon Strong (Simon Russell Beale) and threatens him, under the belief that it\u2019s him who\u2019s somehow causing the visions.<\/p>\n Daemon later sees a vision of Viserys grieving his late wife Aemma, telling him: \u201cI\u2019m here now.\u201d As Viserys collapses into his arms, he tells him: \u201cI\u2019m sorry. You needed me. I\u2019m here now.\u201d<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d610\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n Throughout the series, Daemon\u2019s visions have become increasingly disturbing as he hatches plans to steal the crown, from decapitating a young version of his wife Rhaenyra to an incestuous sex scene with his late mother Alyssa<\/a>.<\/p>\n In episode 6, however, it seems Daemon has earned himself an ally in Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin)<\/a> \u2013 and the pair could be very dangerous.<\/p>\n House of the Dragon season 2 airs on Sky Atlantic and NOW<\/a> in the UK \u2013 find out more about\u00a0how to sign up for Sky TV<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n Look who’s back! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":55086,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character.jpg",1920,1280,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-shock-return-for-major-character.jpg",1920,1280,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Look who's back!","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/55085"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Paddy](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/paddy-considine-2-016c4b7.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"paddy-considine")
