Sarah Paulson felt 'trapped' while doing AHS: Roanoke : 'I just don't care about this season at all'

Rofl.

You and me both, honey.

Roanoke was the WORST season of AHS, ever.

And that's really saying something.

The last season I watched was Hotel.

Honey, we don't care about it either.

Will no one rid me of this omnipresent kewpie doll?

apocalypse was way worse

I liked Apocalypse, R5.

At least it was watchable.

Roanoke and 1984 were the only two seasons I stopped watching after a few episodes.

Both of them SUCKED royally.

I actually enjoyed that season. Cult was worse

Will Sarah be cancelled by Ryan Murphy and FX for saying this?

I feel trapped by Ryan Murphy shitshows on every platform, every week!

I actually liked this season... I skipped it originally and watched it years later... I would put it in the top 3 or 4 for sure

[quote] I felt really kind of trapped by my responsibility and my contractual obligation to do American Horror Story.

I'm always happy when an actor who constantly works with him tries to do something else. It seems like many of them get stuck. Yeah, I'm sure the "exposure" and paycheck might make it worth it but it's not like his work usually rises above anything other than camp.

They probably don't want to say no because then he may never call them again.

[quote]Will Sarah be cancelled by Ryan Murphy and FX for saying this?

I'd wager she's speaking up because she's at a point where she not scared of him and is over it. If anything she's become synonymous with his work. It's a benefit to him to have her on AHS since fans expect her.

Kathy Bates was memorable in Roanoke but I can't remember much else.

I gave up on the Trump one and the one with the ski guy after the first episode.

I had a hard time keeping up with that season with the back and forth between real life and the documentary

Hotel was the worst. Lady Fuckface was a huge let down from La Lange.

Hotel was the BEST, R14.

Stylish, scary, and substantive.

You're clueless.

We've all felt trapped.

The whole franchise took a huge shit after the second season.

Hotel, Cult, Roanoke, 1984 all sucked ass.

Apocalypse was okay but nothing will ever compare to the Lange years.

I only watched the two Stevie Nicks seasons.

Oh, and the one where Dylan McDermott got groped by the gay.

[quote] American Horror Story Spinoff Teases the Return of Murder House

Horror comes home.

This was the very message highlighted in the new teaser pic for American Horror Story's spinoff series, titled American Horror Stories. Promising an "American Horror Summer" ahead of AH Stories' July 15 premiere on FX on Hulu, the new promotional image featured a key fixature American Horror Story fans know quite well. We're, of course, talking about the season one's terrifying location: Murder House.

Surrounded by dark clouds, crows and a blood red field, Murder House sits in the distance as a new Rubber Man, or rather Rubber Woman, looks on. So, how much of Murder House can we expect from the new spinoff? We aren't necessarily sure.

As E! News readers may recall, AH Stories "is a weekly anthology series that will feature a different horror story each episode," according to FX Chairman John Landgraf. Thus, Murder House may only return for one part of the new show.

In regard to the mysterious Rubber Woman? It's unclear who has picked up the daunting suit, which was first made famous by Evan Peters' Tate Langdon character in season one. Later on in the series, devil spawn Michael Langdon (Cody Fern) donned the suit to commit murders in, you guessed it, the Murder House.

Earlier this month, creator Ryan Murphy took to Instagram to reveal the cast—which includes Glee's Kevin McHale, Pose's Dyllón Burnside, Riverdale's Charles Melton and The Prom's Nico Greetham—who would be leading AH Stories. Alongside a photo of the four actors, Ryan wrote, "The Fantastic Four."

Following the announcement, Kevin also took to Instagram to share the same group photo, writing, "Prom + Glee + Pose + Hotel = ?" (For the record, Charles is an American Horror Story alum, having appeared in two episodes from season five, American Horror Story: Hotel.)

Fans of the franchise are certainly in for a scary summer as, once the spooky spinoff wraps, season 10 of the OG series, titled American Horror Story: Double Feature, will premiere Wednesday, August 25 on FX. Last month, the network teased, "More horror than you can handle."

You can say that again!

Roanoke had to be my least favorite season.

I do have to give them credit for at least trying something different with the reality show angle, but in the end it was just dismal. Also Evan Peters had such a small role and was hardly in that season. I always enjoy his work on AHS - even if he is chewing the scenery at times, at least you can tell he's enjoying himself.

SHE felt trapped?

[quote] Yeah, I'm sure the "exposure" and paycheck might make it worth it but it's not like his work usually rises above anything other than camp.

I agree that that’s probably what motivates the return players, but I don’t think it’s accurate to call this crappy series ‘camp’.

Did you see 1984, R23?

I think she feels trapped by dating her 80 year old girlfriend.

THIS is how your life could be Sarah...take some guidance from your younger sister and you could have a smoke show like her.

Isnt that funny,I quit watching AHS because I was sick to death of seeing her face and shitty acting.

I’ve never liked her face, either. It bothers me in the same way that Vera Farmiga’s face does. Just something … alien about both of them.

Maybe it's just you're too sensitive, r27.

Hotel was when I dropped the series. It was fucking terrible. All style, no substance

These things have been trash for a long time.

He should try something different, like a creature feature. He does variations of the same thing over and over and over.

I liked Cult. The worst one was Apocalypse.

The only good things about Roanoke were Lily Rabe and Adina Porter in starring roles and Evan playing gay for the first time. Other than that it was a lousy season. Cult was lackluster. Apocalypse was amazing but could've used more episodes. They tried to cram way too much into that season. 1984 had it's moments. But was a bit of a letdown. Emma Roberts (playing against bitchy mean girl type for once) and Angelica Ross made a great team. It was also nice to see studly Finn Wittrock again.

I preferred Roanoke to Cult. I've liked all the seasons though, overall - it's one of my favourite shows.

[quote]The only good things about Roanoke were Lily Rabe and Adina Porter in starring roles and Evan playing gay for the first time

I think this was the last time they had the whole gang together. Wes Bentley, Kathy Bates and Lady Gaga appeared briefly. Cheyenne Jackson, Leslie Jordan, Taissa Farmiga and Dennis O'Hare were there as well. Matt Bomer even did a voice-over in the last episode. Angela was there too. Adina Porter being *the* lead, in the end, was a breath of fresh air. It broke the formula in a way that it needed to. How many times can we revolve the show around Sarah and company? I liked the season for being different.

Of course, that was also the season where Ryan did no promotion other than saying he'd let the story be revealed and speak for itself. He of course never did that again.

I would have liked Hotel if it didn't focus on Lady Gaga's character. I didn't think she was strong enough to carry it. They should have let it finally focus on Angela instead with Gaga's Countess as just another resident.

Apocalypse was fun because it reminded me of all of the earlier seasons, even if it seemed rushed and disjointed. It was nice having "The Coven" back together which just reminded me of how much I loved the earlier seasons before Hotel.

In comparison to what Sarah has said, Gabourey Sidibe did a brief appearance in AHS: Hotel as a favor to Ryan Murphy as Emma Roberts had to drop out of the episode last minute. She got permission from "Empire" to let her do it. She then returned for Apocalypse for a few episodes after getting permission from Empire as well. Angela Basset wasn't originally planned to be in Apocalypse but fans made a stink and Angela herself said she was never asked so of course Ryan then had to write in her very brief appearance in the last episode.

[quote] The only good things about Roanoke were Lily Rabe and Adina Porter in starring roles and Evan playing gay for the first time.

I don't remember that. What role did he play?

The only gay I remember Evan playing, was when he fucked Colton Haynes.

All I remember about her performance during that season was her awful British accent. You could tell she was phoning it in.

I can’t stand this crafty, opportunistic bitch.

I felt so trapped making more money for a few months work than most people would make in their life. I felt so trapped having roles written for me to star in, instead of having to audition.

Roanoke was the one with the most developed African-American protagonists (Andre Holland, always great) and Adina Porter. That's why I watched it.

She should have kept her privileged piehole shut, since she's not all that special as an actor, but she gets cast by RM in everything he does, regardless.

Ryan Murphy is like a white Tyler Perry. Everything they do (and they both do a lot) is really just awful. It is not even mediocre.

R31 I am binge-watching Apocalypse right now. Missed it entirely when it aired and it's actually quite fun to watch. SP was completely wooden in it, but all the other actors camped it up to the max. LMAO when the "white witch" showed up...

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the first season. The second season was strange but cool. I can take or leave Coven, Apocalypse was meh at best. I never got into Hotel.
