Game of Thrones 'deleted script' shows Daenerys' secret jealousy of Grey Worm

A leaked unused script from Game of Thrones has showed the increased jealousy and isolation of Daenerys Targaryen.

The dragon queen, played by Emilia Clarke, went on a tyrannical fire-breathing rampage during the siege of Kings Landing, in the show's finale.

There are clues in the 'deleted script' that have shown how Daenerys went from saviour to blood lust, after feeling disconnected from those she held closest.

After she laid waste to Kings Landing with dragon Drogon, her lover Jon Snow stabbed her through the heart after he feared she would ruin Westeros.

The unused scripts showed that this descent could have been predicted, starting with her showing a secret jealousy over Grey Worm and Missandei's budding relationship.

At the feast of Winterfell, the pair slip off for a rendezvous in Missandei's room and Daenerys is thought to feel jealousy at the budding relationship, as she bemoans her lot that she is not 'getting any action'.

In the script, it reads: "Dany is happy for her friend, but she’s also aware that everyone seems to be having fun except for her.

“She’s lonely and Varys clocks her loneliness.”

When it comes to Jon Snow, who Dany has got to know carnally, it is his commitment to her that is proving a sticking point.

She is thought to want the undying devotion that Grey Worm had given her but Jon's loyalties were often split or shared.

In the script, her isolation becomes clearer and after Jon calls her his queen, after professing his love, Daenerys replies: "Is that all I am to you? Your Queen?”

In the final cut, Jon doesn't respond to this and just kissed Dany again, with her whispering: "Let it be fear."

In the script though, it elaborates further, adding: "[Dany] is desperate for a connection; she cannot remember a time she has felt this alone.

“She pulls back from the kiss and looks at Jon. This is complicated for him.

“He loves her. He disapproves strongly of what she’s doing. He lusts after her. He fears her. She feels his ambivalence."

In a moment that was cut from the final edit, Daenerys says to Jon: "It disgusts you.”

It is then that her expression "hardens" and she says to Jon: "All right then, let it be fear.”

The deleted words would have shown how Dany was becoming increasingly isolated from all around her before she lost her patience before attacking Kings Landing.
