A rather interesting little tidbit regarding “American Horror Story: Hotel” has shown up over on Entertainment Weekly, who are reporting that according to Ryan Murphy, we haven’t see the last of series star Jessica Lange.

“I’ve been talking to her,” admits Murphy to the site. “It’s always possible. I’m trying to deal with her play schedule. Jessica is always about the character. She’ll be back—she’s not gone forever. But that’s the fun and fresh thing about the show: sometimes somebody has to go away before you realize how much you miss them. She wants to come back; we just have to come up with something.”

“Hotel” is set in modern day Los Angeles about five years after the first season of “AHS.” So it’s safe to assume Lange could reappear as her Season 1 character, the villainous and manipulative Constance. EW goes on to write that the series will return to the “Murder House” for a single episode and that realtor Marcy (Christine Estabrook) from Season 1 appears in “Hotel.” Perhaps the return of Constance isn’t so far-fetched?
