Constance's 4th Child?


Ok, where was she during the first season? She was only mentioned and now she is being shown in the house. Now I have way more questions than I did before. Did I miss or forget something?

reply

I don't even remember Constance having a 4th child, another girl???

reply

She mentioned 4 but no more info was ever given. All the sudden she's a dead little girl in the Murder House.

reply

Oh ok. Yeah, definitely more questions!!!

reply

And I feel like we aren't going to get any in show answers.

reply

was thinking the same thing but I just assumed I missed something in Murder House about the 4th child....

But I guess, was there really no mention of this 4th child until now?

reply

I knew there was a fourth from the first season. We just never seen or heard anything else. I don't even recall them saying it was a girl.

reply

Yeah it was briefly mentioned and then people started speculating that it was the albino man in his twenties or thirties in the opening credits that was to have a recurring role in the show but was cut.

Here about that and mentions Murphy talked about it in his audio commentary (I can't find that mention): http://americanhorrorstory.wikia.com/wiki/Theory:Constance%27s_fourth_child_is_the_albino_character_that_was_cut

However Murphy and Falchuk also said this in 2012:

Murphy and Falchuk also noted that another dropped story line -- Constance's (Lange) unexplained fourth child -- could be something that viewers see down the line. (Constance's three other children were revealed to be Tate, Addie and Beau, whom she kept chained up in the Harmons' attic.)

We know who the fourth child is, it was something that we had written and talked about and removed, Murphy said. But we have not lost sight of the fourth child. In a fun show like this, that could be Season 4, I don't know. But we do have that story and that's something we'd talked about. That was the one thing that we did not answer but we want to answer that.

We will eventually deal with that, even though Jessica is not playing Constance, Murphy said with a laugh.


So possibly may find out more yet [shrugs shoulders]

Thanks! I definitely would like to know where she was during the events of season 1. Based on her physical appearance, there is an interesting story to be told.

reply

Yeah it would be interesting and the way they focused in on her and Madison looked at here, I think there may be more to come yet, maybe in another season though who knows.
