Mind-Blowing Twist: American Horror Story Season 12 Brings Back Fan-Favorite Actresses, But This Unexpected Detail Will Leave You Speechless!
American Horror Story Season 12's Returning Actresses, Billie Lourd & Leslie Grossman, leave us impressed, but a concerning detail lingers Discover how their characters are connected to Kim Kardashian and why they truly deserve more prominent roles
Summary
American Horror Story season 12 reveals new characters, including returning stars Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman, but their story involvement is concerning.
The show is adapting Danielle Valentine's novel, "Delicate Condition," for the first time, providing insight into the characters' roles. Kim Kardashian's inclusion in "Delicate" has been criticized as stunt casting, raising concerns about the show prioritizing celebrity names over established talents like Lourd and Grossman, who deserve more prominent roles.
American Horror Story season 12 has unveiled a fresh look at the characters of Delicate, confirming the return of series regulars Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman. However, there is some concern surrounding their involvement in the story. Lourd and Grossman will be joining other AHS stars including Emma Roberts, Denis O'Hare, and Zachary Quinto, as well as newcomers Kim Kardashian, Matt Czuchry, Cara Delevingne, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. While Roberts is set to take on a leading role in the upcoming season, Lourd and Grossman have been consistent fixtures since their debut in American Horror Story: Cult in 2017, establishing themselves as fan favorites.
In the past, American Horror Story has kept its plot details under tight wraps before each new season. With each installment centered around a distinct terrifying theme, information would only trickle in through eerie teasers and cast announcements. Interestingly, season 12 of American Horror Story will be the first time the show is adapting an existing story, drawing inspiration from Danielle Valentine's novel titled Delicate Condition. While the season has been noted to have Rosemary's Baby influences, new character details are now shedding light on what Delicate truly holds in store, particularly for the returning cast members.
Billie Lourd & Leslie Grossman's American Horror Story Season 12 Characters Are Linked To Kim Kardashian
Emma Roberts takes the lead in American Horror Story: Delicate as Anna Alcott, a rising actress facing the challenges of fame while also desiring to start a family. Kim Kardashian plays Siobhan Walsh, an aging actor who mentors Anna and guides her in her career. However, the season 12 trailer suggests that Siobhan may not have Anna's best interests at heart. Although the trailer also features Sarah Paulson and Leslie Grossman, it is disappointing to see them being overshadowed by Kardashian's character, as they are relegated to supporting roles. Kim Kardashian's casting in Delicate has been criticized as a publicity stunt, raising concerns about the show's declining quality and reliance on star power rather than the talent of seasoned American Horror Story actors or fresh, promising newcomers. The trailer hints at a connection between Siobhan, Olympia (played by Billie Lourd), and Emily (played by Leslie Grossman), but instead of giving Lourd and Grossman a prominent and potentially villainous storyline, it appears that Kardashian has been given an undeserved leading role.
Why Billie Lourd & Leslie Grossman Deserve Bigger Roles In American Horror Story Season 12
The extent of Olympia and Emily's roles in Delicate remains unclear, but it is evident that Siobhan plays a crucial part alongside Anna, portrayed by Roberts. At this stage of the series, the return of familiar faces and connections to previous American Horror Story seasons are the most appealing aspects. However, the return of cast members loses its impact if they are relegated to minor roles or have limited interaction with veteran characters.
Lourd and Grossman have demonstrated their ability to handle leading roles, making it all the more captivating to see them collaborate with Roberts in a more substantial capacity. This is particularly true following their successful collaboration in Apocalypse and 1984, as well as Lourd's past experience with Roberts on Scream Queens. Unfortunately, instead of rewarding the loyal fanbase that has kept the show going for so long, American Horror Story season 12 seems to prioritize a casting gimmick.
