Today I learned: The prop Emilia used for the stallion's heart was made of awfully tasting gummy bear-like material, but she still had to bite, chew, and swallow pieces of it to make the scene look real. As a consequence Dany looked like choking the heart down due to Emila's genuine physical reaction.
For some reason I always assumed that the "heart" was made out of something delicious like actual gummy bears, fruit or cake to make Emilia's job a little easier, but apparently she suffered for her art big time!
Apparently she also went to the bathroom, sat there long long enough for some of the gummi & fake blood all over her to dry to the toilet and became... affixed...enough that she had to call for help.

Viserys looked more like a Targaryen than the Rhaegar we got in season 6
