Denis O'Hare's "Hotel" Stay

"American Horror Story" has room in its "Hotel" for one more franchise alum. Denis O’Hare, who most recently played con artist Stanley in "Freak Show", will return to the FX anthology series for its fifth season this fall.
“We’re just finalizing Denis O’Hare’s deal, he’s going to come back,” exec producer Ryan Murphy told our sister site Deadline, though he did not elaborate on the details of O’Hare’s character.
In other news, creator Ryan Murphy addressed rumors that "American Horror Story: Hotel" would have a musical aspect to it with the additions of Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson.
“People, keep saying to me, ‘What numbers are they singing, what numbers are they singing?’ and I say, ‘There will be no numbers,'” he tells our sister site Deadline.
“The interesting thing is we cast a lot of singers this season, but I like that singers — for the most part — tend to be great actors, because they know how to sell a story through song. I’m excited about that and I think that’s why Gaga was excited about it; it’s not something that she’s ever done before. It’s a pure acting part, I think people expect that she’s going to be sitting in a bar in a white silk gown sort of singing songs — she is not.”
Murphy also notes that "Hotel" will be “much more horror-based” and “more dark” than its predecessors, adding, “It’s… a little bloodier and grislier I think than anything that we’ve done before. It’s straight horror this year.”
That said, "Hotel" shares some DNA with Season 1. “Murder House was very primal because everybody’s great fear is about the bogeyman under the bed in their house,” says Murphy.
“And Hotel feels similar to me in that when you check into a hotel, there are certain things beyond your control. Other people have the keys to your room… You’re not exactly safe.”
