Glum times for Glee Club
There a big changes afoot at McKinley High - at the end of
Glee's third series,
Lea Michele,
Chris Colfer,
Cory Monteith and more will be singing and dancing for the last time.
Creator
Ryan Murphy - who revealed that more characters will leave the show than stay - told
The Hollywood Reporter: "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."
But Chris has a different take on how the news was broken: "I found out yesterday on Twitter," the actor revealed. "Yeah, I found out that they made that announcement. I didn't necessarily know that it was going to be our last season next year, I knew something like that was coming up eventually. I mean, we can't be there forever. I don't necessarily want to leave so soon, but I mean, it's fine."
Meanwhile, season 3 will focus on Lea Michele's character, Rachel Berry. "I’m much more interested in Lea’s character - not so much on her relationship with Finn, but more on what her dreams are beyond high school and how she plans on getting them," said Ryan. "That’s what my senior year was about.”
