'Glee' Graduates Not Necessarily Leaving Show: Good News?

Remember all of those reports that Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Cory Monteith would be leaving "Glee" after season 3? Well, gleeks everywhere should be happy to hear that they may not be departing the show after all.

At Comic-Con on Sunday "Glee" co-creator and executive producer announced that the fact that the trio was set to graduate high school did not mean that they were leaving the show.

"If you have Lea Michele under contract, you don’t say, ‘We’re gonna let you go.’”

“It was never our plan or our intention to let them go,” Fulchuk added. “They are not done with the show after this season.”


This is a major reversal from what creator Ryan Murphy told the press a month ago.

“You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.”

While fans of Rachel, Kurt, and Finn are sure to be pleased, there is no good news for "Sammites" (fans of Chord Overstreet's character).

Despite being offered a deal to return for 10 episodes, Overstreet has declined in favor of "other opportunities," whatever those may be.

What do you think? Is the report, that the "Glee" trio may not be leaving after all, good news for the show?

    Unlike in cartoons, let's just say The Simpsons, at least these people actually aged and are going through the changes that go with it.

    The show pretty much stereotypes the characters, and makes a big deal about popularity, I wouldn't shear a tear if it ended next season.

    So next season a 29 year old will play a high school senior?!! Well, can't say that it hasn't been done before. Olivia Newton-John looked pretty good at 29 playing Sandy in Grease

    Honestly, I couldn't care less! This show was good at first, but I'm not going to watch anymore, it's just plain boring and downright annoying. Whatever.

    Damn :/

    I really do like those three, and they're very talented, but if Chris Colfer's staying that means Darren Criss is, which is not what I would prefer. I want him to go back to his theater company!

    Why doesn't the show just follow the graduates to college. High school only offers so many topics before the environment gets stale, why not maintain people's favorite characters and open a whole new set of topics to explore all in one action?

    Not sure.

    On the bad side, it could keep the show going.

    On the bad side, there are very few ways to write high school characters not leaving a crappy high school show without making the characters creepy. This could be a chance to better chances of the show dying.

    My responses depends on whether this keeps the show going or helps it to cancellation where it belongs.

    Not sure how they will mange it unless they say that each season is less than 1 school year. I like the concept of - the Glee Project and think they should continue to look for fresh new talent for the main show. The trick is to get the new ones in before the old go out so there is smooth transition - but these characters cannot remain frozen in time.
