Game of Thrones script originally had extra incest in season eight

You may not believe it but there was once the possibility of even more incest in Westeros.

The episode showed Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan) as a captive of her evil uncle Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek), but the episode almost went further, with the script saying that he "kisses his niece on the lips" after boasting of how he's going to "f**k the Queen".

The script also included more discussion between Euron and Golden Company leader Harry Strickland about sleeping with Cersei, saying "She can think of him while I'm inside her" when Strickland mentions how Jaime Lannister won't like Euron sleeping with his sister-lover.
