AceShowbiz - The closing night of PaleyFest in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 26 saw "American Horror Story: Roanoke" cast gathering to talk about the series' season 6 as well as the upcoming season 7. Among the topic discussed that night was Lady GaGa's possible return for the seventh season.
People seem to want to see more GaGa on the series as a fan asked if the Mother Monster would be returning for season 7. Unfortunately, none of the cast members who were present, Sarah Paulson, Adina Porter, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kathy Bates, Denis O'Hare and Cheyenne Jackson, gave a confirmation about the matter. However, some people seem to wonder whether that their silence could mean that the singer is at least in talks to come back.

GaGa appeared in both season 5 and season 6 of the series. In season 5, "American Horror Story: Hotel", she portrayed Elizabeth. Also known as The Countess, Elizabeth is the owner of Hotel Cortez and a carrier of a mysterious blood virus. In "Roanoke", the singer played the re-enacted Scathach.
Speaking of returning character, Paulson was also asked what other "AHS" personalities she'd like to play again, to which Paulson answered, "Cordelia Foxx, because I would like to see her getting her powers as the Supreme." She continued teasing, "Maybe we'll get to see that."
Foxx was the Supreme witch and the headmistress at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies in season 3 "American Horror Story: Coven". Even though Cordelia's mother Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) claimed herself as the Supreme witch, we knew that it was actually Cordelia.
The cast also took a walk down memory lane, recalling times when they filmed season 6. Executive producer Brad Falchuk dubbed it "raw and scary." It was also revealed that the cast was sworn to secrecy when the filming was underway. "This was a total blackout-there was nothing we could say about Roanoke. It was a new world order of knowing nothing. Even when we were reading it, we didn't know what the F was happening!" Sarah said.
Executive producer Tim Minear added that they were struggling to find a place to film while also keeping the storyline a secret. Kathy later said that she got altitude sickness and "blew lunch" on the way down when they went to Big Bear to film some scenes.
"AHS" season 7 is said to tackle 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The first episode of the FX series will take place on election night and see the shocking fallout when Trump upsets Clinton.
No one from season 6's cast, except for Evan Peters and Paulson, has been confirmed to return for season 7. Although Peter and Paulson's roles are still kept under wraps, show creator Ryan Murphy has clarified that Paulson isn't portraying Clinton.
Denis O'Hare feelin' the fan love @AHSFX #PaleyFest tonight. 📺🌟👏🏻😍 pic.twitter.com/SfUEUEJJd8
