Executive producer Ilene Chaiken has already revealed that the Vision of Love singer will have a prominent role to play in the musical drama series. But he refused to spill out more details of the character and said that it really depends on the story.
"We look at it in terms of, if we had written that character and she had three episodes, it wouldn't have been Mariah unless Mariah could give us those three episodes," Deadline quoted the 59-year-old as saying.
"As it happened, this was a one-episode story and a character who may come back in the second half of the season for another episode. But simply, we were looking for a musical star to play that role, and were lucky to get Mariah to play it," she added.
