Two weeks ago, “Glee” co-creator Ryan Murphy made news when he told The Hollywood Reporter that some of the show’s principal stars — Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Cory Monteith — would leave the show after the coming season when their characters graduate high school. Here’s what he said at the time:
“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.”
It was a ballsy, admirable decision — and one that apparently isn’t true. Over the weekend, “Glee’s” other co-creator, Brad Falchuk, said that Michele, Colfer, and Monteith weren’t leaving the show.
“Here’s the exact thing: They’re seniors. They’re graduating. But that doesn’t mean they’re leaving the show,” Falchuk said. “It was never our intention or plan to let these people go… They are not done with the show after this season.” [Deadline]
Falchuk also maligned the THR reporter* for misreporting what Murphy said, something that Dan Fienberg scorched over at HitFix. Whatever the case, whether the stars are leaving or staying, one thing remains the same: me not giving a crap about “Glee.”
*Without the acronym: “the The Hollywood Reporter reporter”

I have no idea what this article is about…Is this is that show with the big nose chick and the gays right? What’s the name…Entourage, right?
They should introduce aids into the show.
You forgot to add the “nobody cares” tag.
So they’ll keep on the original stars and have the old cast members play reocurring roles? That’s simply a ploy to have the writers do half their work. Old GLEE alum return to teach the new students the life lessons they learned in seasons past – bullying is not cool (with dance number); you’re all beautiful on the inside (except Leah Michelle); being gay is cool if you’re closeted and on the football team; being cruel to the handicapped is okay if you have a mentally challenged sibling; and finally, banging your co-workers is acceptable if it follows a romantic song.
Yes I’ve watched GLEE – my wife insists upon it and she’s the only one in our house with a vagina.
Is the also the only one in the house that doesn’t go nuts with the caps-lock?
For some reason I thought the show name was all caps. My bad glee. You’re welcome Curious Georger.
Yes, because we’re all sooooo worried about Glee being unrealistic.
