ReplyDeleteIf you don't give the lead to her, Angela and Frances...
ReplyDeleteThank God! :D
ReplyDeleteYes! So excited for Hotel!
ReplyDeleteTell me Frances is gonna be there too!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting worried by the fact that she's the only major returning actor for now. What about Sarah Paulson, Gabourey Sidibe, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy and the others ?
ReplyDeleteRunning the hotel bodes well that her role won't be as minuscule as in Freak Show.
ReplyDeleteClearly they couldn't let all the big names go. Someone's gotta tick around to take the mantle from JL.
ReplyDeleteSarah is on ACS can she do both? when does ACS start filming?
ReplyDeleteI want Taissa Farmiga back she is so great and i must admit a cutie ;)
ReplyDeletenow that's some outstanding news
ReplyDeleteShe was can in a pilot, so if that goers to series, then she won't be returning, likely.
