Apocalypse Knowing Nothing About The Script

Fans were stunned when Emma Roberts returned in season 8, especially alongside her fellow witches, including the recently resurrected Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy). The stylish spell caster even restated her iconic line, which made her a biting source of mischief in "Coven." With Collider, Roberts broke down how her "Apocalypse" return came to be.

"There had always been talk of bringing Madison back, but then it went away. When I found out that this season was Apocalypse, I didn't even think that I would be asked to be on it. And then, Ryan called and was like, 'So, it's Apocalypse, but we're also gonna do a Coven/Murder House cross-over.' And I was like, 'Oh, my god, of course! Only you would have a vision for that and pull that off.' He didn't really tell me anything, though. I asked questions and he was just like, 'Do you wanna do it, or not?'"

Roberts needed no time to think it over, as she stated: "And I was like, 'I'm in!' It was a dream come true because I've wanted to bring Madison back for a while now." She continued by relishing in the fun the cast and crew had making "Coven," which made it more than easy for her to say yes again. Unfortunately, the mind-boggling events of the "Apocalypse" finale sadly returned Madison to Hell, which is especially disappointing considering she's the uncontested favorite character by fans' standards. However, if she returned from the depths of The Underworld once, fans can hope she'll be able to pull it off again, and that Roberts will return with more enthusiasm.
