King Viserys’ final moments inHouse of the Dragonwere both painful and joyful – he was suffering from leprosy which explained the decaying of his skin, and the last memory of his family was their happy dinner together.
Paddy Considine admitted to improvising many lines in the show. In his interview withVulture, he revealed his final words, “My love,” was indeed not part of the script.
The moment at the end — in my mind, I’ve made a choice that as he dies, he sees Aemma. When he reaches out and says, “My love,” that’s what he sees the moment he dies.
This was King Viserys’ last scene in Season 1, and even in his character’s death, Considine made sure to put his own touch and make it feel more human.
