LINK: Fantastic Interview with Kate Mara, Hayden on AHS

The Hollywood Reporter did a wonderful writeup on their interview with Kate Mara, Hayden on American Horror Story. THR asks Mara some of our burning questions -- such as, how does Hayden plan on getting Viv back in the house to have the babies? We also found out that in tomorrow's episode -- we learn a little bit more about the beginnings of Hayden and Ben's relationship back on the East Coast.

Check out the interview here.

My favorite parts of the article:

"THR: How sure is Hayden that Vivien's "twins" are Tate's/The Rubber Man's?
Mara: Hayden is definitely convinced those are Rubber Man's babies. You're going to discover a lot more than that in next week's episode where you find more information about that; it's pretty shocking. You find out more information about the pregnancy and the twins -- it's not as simple as it seems."

This TOTALLY did not EVEN cross my mind until I read this article -- how do we know that Tate is the father of the babies? We don't! Hayden tells us that he is, but no one else does -- and the main point in the scene where Hayden reveals this to Viv is to make her crazy, so can we really trust this statement? Both Tate/RM and Ben have relations with Viv on (seemingly) the same day -- so we don't have enough information to really decide who is the father. Could be that Ben fathered the babies and Tate/RM inserted some sort of evil into them?

Notice Mara says about the pregnancy and the twins -- is it possible that what we learn about Popes and a key and spirits and humans during the promo for episode 9 doesn't apply to Viv's pregnancy? Wouldn't it hold much more weight if a VIRGIN (like VIOLET!) was impregnated by a ghost? Hmm.... They did do it in the last episode... hah.

"THR: Violet (Taissa Farmiga) is standing in the way of Hayden getting Tate behind her. Is Violet a friend or foe to Hayden?
Mara: Hayden doesn't really care about Tate; she thinks she'll seduce him and then he'll do what she wants. But when she realizes that won't work, that's when her brain goes, "OK, what does he want? He wants Violet, so how can he get Violet?" The easiest thing for Hayden is seducing him, which is what got her into trouble in the first place. When that fails, she goes to her next tactic: How can Hayden help him spend the rest of his life with Violet? You'll discover in maybe the next episode how that plan is going to unfold for Tate. Hayden doesn't care about Violet because she hasn't been in her way. Hayden's biggest concern is Vivien: How do I destroy Vivien and take her babies?"

This is definitely a 'triangle' that we've got to pay close attention to. The dynamic between Hayden and Tate is an interesting one -- Hayden tries seducing him to get her to do what she wants, after her seduction tactics fail, Hayden seems to be pleasantly surprised that her master plan is currently coinciding with Tate's plan to keep Violet in the house and in his 'afterlife.' (I almost typed life, as this seems like such a sappy high school love story between Tate and Violet and then I realized, its not. haha.) How long will Hayden's plan of driving Viv crazy and stealing the babies for herself work for Tate? It seems like Tate really just wants to make Nora happy -- what happens if Hayden goes nuts and takes both babies, or if there's only one born -- will Tate turn against her?

Really interested to see what happens between Tate and Violet -- with all of the rumors floating around that Violet might already indeed be dead -- I think it's fitting to point out Tate's line at the end of episode 8.

"It's sort of romantic. Now they'll be together forever."

Great way to end the episode because it makes us think that maybe this is what Tate is after for him and Violet -- could Tate's violent ways end up hurting Violet? I've also read on various forums, people suggesting that by Violet dying -- either at the hands of Tate or Hayden or both even -- would be a great way to keep the Harmon's in the house for the next season -- that's what's holding Constance there, right?

Now go read the rest of the article -- it's interesting! :)
