The third season of "House of the Dragon" concluded with an epic battle and a major character death, but the end credits featured a card stating that the episode was "in loving memory" of Don "Bop" Monahan. He did have a connection to the HBO series, however, as Monahan was the father-in-law of showrunner Ryan Condal. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne Hennessey, and his two daughters, Caitlin and Ceire Hennessey Monahan. Monahan has four grandchildren, which is where he got his nickname of "Grandfather Bop," as seen in the in memoriam card in "House of the Dragon." While "House of the Dragon" films throughout the British Isles, none of the show is shot in Ireland, unlike a lot of "Game of Thrones."
