Empire season 4 spoilers: More details on Demi Moore’s character

When Empire season 4 premieres on Fox in the fall, Demi Moore’s character will be front and center. Going into the season 3 finale, not much was known about her. Now, it’s pretty clear that she will be an essential part of the series as she “helps” Lucious Lyon with his new-found amnesia, provided that this is the sort of thing that can be helped. With Lucious being such an enigma for much of the time, it’s often rather hard to figure out precisely what is going to transpire with him.

In detailing some of how Moore’s character will factor into the story that is coming up, executive producer Ilene Chaiken did offer the following message to Entertainment Weekly:

“I don’t want to say too much because that obviously is story, but I’ll talk about the conversations we’ve had and the way she understands her character. She’s a rehabilitation specialist. She’s a rehab nurse and she’s a trained psychologist. She’s worked with a lot of patients who have been through similar traumatic events to what Lucious went through and she’s had great success. She takes on one patient at a time and devotes herself to them. So she’s devoted to Lucious. When we meet her in the finale, he’s never laid eyes on her. He’s presumably heard her voice. So when he comes out of his coma, who is she to him and who is she going to become to him and who is she going to become to her?”

First and foremost, it is pretty darn cool that Empire managed to get a star of Moore’s caliber on the show. Beyond that, seeing her relationship play out with Lucious will be interesting in seeing just how much it informs what is going on with him. For example, is he really this guy? One of the interesting things that could come with seeing this character in this place is that he’s stripped bare of everything we’ve come to know about him. Maybe this leads to showcasing a kinder, gentler side of Lucious … provided that one of those really does exist.
