While Helena Mattsson role seems to be a closely guarded secret at the moment, Carter Matt suggested her character could meet up with some characters from previous series of American Horror Story since creator Ryan Murphy went on record and stated “characters from previous seasons will come back and check into the hotel.”
According to Helena Marksson’s IMDb profile , the character she will be playing in American Horror Story: Hotel does have a name already: Agnetha.

Ryan Murphy provided the synopsis for American Horror Story: Hotel.
“It’s based in the hotel in horror movies and horror tropes. We’ve researched several real-live hotels in downtown LA where absolutely horrifying things happened… When you check into a hotel, there are certain things beyond your control. Other people have the keys to your room; they can come in there. You’re not exactly safe, it’s a very unsettling idea.”
American Horror Story: Hotel will premiere in October on FX.
