This is awesome news! I really hope they make her a more integral part of the story, Desiree was awesome but got shuffled around a lot last year. Bassett is way too much talent to waste.
ReplyDeleteSo the ballroom singer IMDB spoiler is true. Hopefully it's a bigger part than what was described for both, or else it's really a waste of their time and talents.
ReplyDeleteYes! Now, please announce Frances!
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again. Frances Conroy, please.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what about Denis O'Hare.
ReplyDeleteLily Rabe, PLEASE
ReplyDeleteI don't know if she would be able to sign on as a regular with The Whispers' fate still pending.
ReplyDeleteGreat news.I love her!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was worried about.
ReplyDeleteThough AHS shots from late summer to January and if the Whispers airs in June next year (I'm really hoping for it to be a huge hit) they'll begin production in March so the timing is not an issue.. I think it's up to Lily.. if she wants a little vacation or act 24/7.
But if I had to choose I'd rather have her as the lead on The Whispers than on AHS where she'd do like 5 episodes.
She needs to be the main character with Katie and Frances.
ReplyDeleteI forgot she hasn't been announced yet... Yes she needs to come back!!! But my two favorites besides Lange are back (Paulson and Basset)... Hoping Gaga and Bomer kill it!
ReplyDeleteI keep hoping that she'll get cast soon, hopefully she does. AHS Hotel wouldn't be the same without her.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with Frances. She is great!!! Just need to hear Frances and Lily and I'm all set.
ReplyDeleteOh, we need Pepper! I love Pepper!
