Season 3 of Glee is still two months away from premiering, and that isn’t stopping Ryan Murphy from telling
The Hollywood Reporter who won’t be back for the 4th one.
The show creator has already said that the senior class would be graduating and if you were like me you thought that meant that all of the New Directions would be leaving. Well turns out only three of the originals will not be back. Those three cast members are Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer.
I have to say I don’t mind two of them leaving because I am sick of the same story every week for Kurt. It was good for a few episodes, but got repetitive as it continued to play out throughout the whole season. When it comes to Rachel I am not sure if it was her character on the show or the one rumored about her outside of the show, but I just can’t stand her. Now Finn, that upsets me because I really like him on the show.
What doesn’t make sense about the departures to me is if Puck is best friends with Finn and Quinn dated him doesn’t that mean they should also be seniors? Just saying.
Well Murphy added that will all be explained in the season premiere on Fox.
He also said that the departures were planned with two of the actors, “We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top.â€
But he did a beyond a$$hole thing to Cory because he told THR he has yet to tell him the news by saying, “I didn’t talk to Cory about it. I presume he knows. He knows he was a sophomore when the show started.†So basically he is going to find out via the article. That karma is going to bite the producer in the a$$ as it should.
Now when it comes to the future of the three actors here is what I predict will happen to them. Lea will obviously go back to Broadway and will stay there for the rest of career. I think Chris became too typecast as Kurt and will struggle to find work, but he will be OK living off the residuals of Glee and conventions. Now when it comes to Cory, I think he will finally have time to do features and make a real name for himself in movies. Unless he gets another series because he has the acting chops and looks to have a long career. And I hope he does as a big f*ck you for Ryan Murphy for firing him through the press and not in person. Grow some balls man.
What do you think of who the three who will be graduating and what do you think will happen to the actors who play them?
UPDATE: I can totally see Glee considering getting Rebecca Black to be the new Lea Michele on the show.
UPDATE 2: Lea Michele confirmed her news on Twitter by saying, “We always knew we’d graduate in real time. It’s all part of the plan and it’s all good! It’s going to make Season 3 amazing!!! To Gleeks everywhere, you’re in my heart now and forever. Love u all!!! This is just the beginning!!”
UPDATE 3: The full interview that Ryan Murphy did with The Hollywood Reporter is now online and who knows if he even knows what he has planned for season 3, season 4 and his actors.
