I don't believe this for a few reasons. According to Ryan Murphy, Evan Peters would be waiting in "Room 64." Doesn't sound like a prowler. and Kathy Bates was supposed to be running the hotel.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Angela Bassett is back. I had no idea Michelle Pfeiffer, Alexander Skarsgard, and Donald Sutherland were going to be in this season. This show always has way too many characters.
ReplyDeleteWOW! So many characters.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Michelle Pfeiffer will appear!???? Amazing.
And a double amazing for Lily Rabe returning!
I really hope this season will be much more story and character driven and put the mess to a minimum.
there is definitely some star power in this cast
ReplyDeleteLILY RABE!!!! I'm so happy she's back!
ReplyDeleteRemember these are all UNCONFIRMED until we get an Official Press Release
ReplyDeleteSkarsgard? Pfeiffer? Sutherland?
ReplyDeleteUmmm, yeah won't believe it until I see it
Does seem a little fantastical ;)
ReplyDeleteJanis Joplin? Martina McBride? As in the singers?
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga's role seems to have been oversold a lot also.
If it is true that would be one hell of a cast.
ReplyDeletea little, I know imdb is right a lot but not always. So it's good that you put the question mark there.
ReplyDeleteas of right now I want to believe but yeah...might be true (but speculation is fun so that's great ^^)
Lady Gaga doesn't look like to be the female lead... I think its fake.
ReplyDeleteYep my guess is this is a foiler. Some truth with lots of guesses and wishlists :)
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds totally made-up to me lol. Can't imagine it's real. Janis Joplin? Martina McBride? Elisa Starr after our last main character was "Elsa Mars"? With Horror Story, who knows..
ReplyDeleteProbably but who knows at times imdb castings seemed absurd at first but turned out to be right after all. Let the guessing begin (but I'm willing to bet that Pfeiffer, Skarsgard and Sutherland are not in this)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty fake to me :P
ReplyDeleteAnd if it's true, then it's going to be a very crowded season. Not good.
I would love this cast if it were true. I'd still like Taissa back
ReplyDeleteI want to see this one much more than I wanted to see Freak Show.
"Lady Gaga as Elisa Starr"
ReplyDeleteThis Elisa Starr reminds me of a younger Elsa Mars... maybe there is a connexion, who knows ?
So happy that my favourites are back. I hope this time Francey Conroy's and Angela Basset's characters will have more screen time than last season.
Precisely because of these big-yet-not-confirmed names, as well as what Matt pointed out, I wouldn't really trust this list...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not real. After doing a little poking around, the IMDB user who made this list also made one a few months back, this time claiming the plotline was about the much speculated Operation Top Hat. It used a few of the same actors in different roles. Taking that into consideration with the apparent mismatch between roles and what Ryan Murphy has said (Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, etc) I am confident that this is not true. It seems this is just made by a fan who likes to come up with fan fiction. No harm, no foul, but I think SpoilerTV should make a note of this and possibly change the title of this story to reflect it
ReplyDeleteWhen did Alexander join the cast?LOL!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone officially say that she was the female lead? All that was said is that she joined the cast and people took it as she was the lead. But no one associated with FX confirmed it.
ReplyDeleteThis is obviously a spoof. The actors are playing their stereotypical characters.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this casting is true though unlikely...It sounds very interesting
ReplyDelete*** FOILER ***...this is all BULLSHIT... im surprised they didnt mention JESSICA LANGE ...forgetting she's NOT on AHS any lomger, LOL...☺...
ReplyDeleteMuch as I would like to believe this cast list, at the moment I really don't.
ReplyDeleteI call shenanigans. In addition to what others have said, we've never had a list of character names this complete before.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fake... I saw this months ago, It's like a wish list someone created on IMDB.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe it either. But just because we heard those things, doesn't mean these couldn't be true. Murphy also told us that Lizzie Brochere would be playing a "wild-child, sex pot" in season 2, before seriously reworking her character. Kathy Bates was supposed to begin Coven as "Lange's best friend, who eventually betrays her and becomes her enemy", and that was seriously reworked. A lot of what Murphy says during the beginning of these seasons, rarely make it into the actual story. There have also been rumors that Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson were to play a couple running the hotel, as well as the rumors Bates will be running it with Paulson. Basically, don't take anything Murphy says seriously until we get anything official.
ReplyDeleteShe was never confirmed as a lead. Simply part of the series' regular cast this year. Which with AHS means she wouldn't necessarily have to appear in all of the episodes, to still be listed as a regular. Frances Conroy only appeared in 8 last year, despite being announced as a main character when Freak Show was just being developed.
ReplyDeleteAs cool as some of these would be, particularly having Rabe back and seeing Skarsgard and Pfeiffer join the show, I'm not buying this. And it seems no one is. Besides, isn't Paulson supposed to be playing "the villain" this season? Janis Joplin as the villain of AHS season 5? Seems legit. =/
