'American Horror Story' Season 4 Cast: Sarah Paulson Speculates What Dot Would Do If Something Bad Happened To Jimmy [VIDEO]
American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson recently spoke on her role as the Tattler Twins in Freak Show and what was ahead for them heading into the final episodes.
Paulson has been playing Dot and Bette Tattler in Freak Show, conjoined twins with very different personalities. Dot has taken a liking to Jimmy (Evan Peters), who was recently thrown in jail. If anything were to happen to him, Paulson admitted that Dot would be distraught.
"Say it ain't so! Bette would survive, but if anything happened to Jimmy, I don't know if Dot would make it," Paulson explained to TVLine this week. "She loves him with too much purity, and he's too pure a soul to her, to imagine anything horrible befalling him. But like I said, this is American Horror Story, so no one's safe."
This season has featured a number of significant deaths already, from Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch) to Gloria (Frances Conroy) to Ethel (Kathy Bates). With the number of deaths this show produces, Paulson admitted that she does not have much time to properly mourn them.
"You know, I think I've become kind of inured to that. By the time [the deaths are] on film, we're so far beyond them. I'm kind of like, 'Oh, well. See ya later, Ethel! See ya later, Gloria! Bye-bye!' Paulson admitted. "We've just got so much other crap we're dealing with, there's no way for me to mourn them for too long. But they all make me sad, especially this season."
She noted that her role as Cordelia in American Horror Story: Coven was "outside of the story," which mostly centered on the younger witches plus Jessica Lange's Fiona, she is definitely a real part of "the family" for Freak Show.
It remains to be seen if Dot and/or Bette will survive the season, but based on previous editions of American Horror Story, they should be safe. After all, Paulson's Lana Winters in Asylum emerged as the hero and survived and her Cordelia in Coven survived as well.
American Horror Story: Freak Show airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
