> The [AV Club article](http://www.avclub.com/articles/american-horror-story-to-completely-ditch-season-o,67002/)talks about it more, and it sounds like nothing character or storywise will carry over from season to season. Some of the actors might be back, but as totally new characters.

To me that just kills my interest level in the show coming back. Sure, the house’s story is played out, but I was hoping season 2 would be about Constance and the anti-Christ.

And does this mean we’ll never find out about her 4th child?

Boo.

I’m kinda dissapointed too but I’m certainly willing to give it a shot especially based on the first season.

When did the creater start talking about it being the end of the story? I would have watched the last ep from a dif perspective. I’m not sure if I would have liked the ending or not had I known.

I’ll probably still give it a shot, but I won’t be waiting impatiently for it the way I do with other shows I like, such as Walking Dead or Breaking Bad.

The kid is on the official website. #4 was a girl, younger than Addie, who also had Down’s. [See for yourself](http://www.fxnetworks.com/ahsfamily/).

Thanks! There was no mention at all of her during the show though was there? Did the creator explain at all?

If it’s not on the show, it’s not canon. 😉

But thanks for the link anyway. Too bad it doesn’t seem to want to load for me, but I’ll take your word for it.

It shows Addie and a younger girl hand in hand… I couldn’t make the site do anything beyond that.

I think that the younger girl is just younger Addie (who was seen in the pilot episode), not a different daughter.

No, then the title above their heads “The Daughters” wouldn’t make any sense.

I tried a different browser and got the site to load, and they did the same thing for “the Housekeepers” who were of course the same entity.

I like it. Interesting thread of continuing over the murders and accumulation of ghosts from one week to the next. Makes good TV entertainment. _thumbs up_.

Thought I’d bump this to let y’all know that [Jessica Lange will be on the show next season](http://www.avclub.com/articles/yes-jessica-lange-will-still-be-on-american-horror,68953/), though as a new character.

Ummm, I can’t quite imagine how this would be possible.

They’re doing it with other actors as well. It’s basically an anthology series and this is their repertory company; same actors, different play.

I really hope Tate is back (I know the Character won’t be back but I can’t rem the actor’s name). He is so, so yummy to me.  
I’d love to see most of the actors back relating to one another in very different ways.

The whole family watched season one over the holiday. Two of the seven of us had seen it before. I really enjoyed rewatching it and hadn’t thought much about it in the interim.

I just reread page one of this thread…it’s interesting to read the comments of those who didn’t care for it or at least he first couple of eps. FTR… I watched season two but was dissapointed. I tried an ep or two of each of the others until the current season and am watching all of it.

As for the finale of season one, I did like they way they “resolved” the house aspect but didn’t care at all for the anti-christ kid ending.
