Frankel admitted with a laugh, before adding, “Me too. More than I would like to, okay?”
He continued,
“Every day. Every single day,” when talking about moments where he thought, ‘Oh my God, is he really going to do that? Are we serious?’”
Despite finding the character frustrating, Frankel also expressed genuine appreciation for Criston’s arc, saying he enjoys watching his journey unfold across the seasons.
Teasing a wild season 3 for Criston
The most exciting part of the interview was when Frankel teased what’s ahead:
“I’m excited for people to see what Criston Cole gets up to in season three. If you’ve got worries now, watch the next eight episodes, I think.”
This comment strongly suggests that Criston’s controversial and often self-destructive behavior will reach new heights in the upcoming season. Playing a villain, Frankel noted, allows him to affect the story in exciting ways; and it sounds like season 3 will deliver plenty of shocking Criston moments.
Why this has fans buzzing
Criston Cole has become one of the most polarizing and hated characters in the series; a man who has shifted from honourable knight to ruthless enforcer. Frankel’s revelation that even he gets annoyed by Criston daily, combined with the promise of more extreme actions, has fans both worried and thrilled. The hint that Criston will continue spiraling promises intense drama, especially as the Dance of the Dragons escalates. Viewers can expect even more unpredictable, unhinged decisions that could change the course of the war.
