Geesh! You think Ryan Murphy would have filled them in before making the announcement!
We were shocked to learn this morning that Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, and Chris Colfer would be cut from their smash series, Glee, when their characters graduate from McKinley High at the end of the upcoming third season, and apparently, so was the latter – because Colfer only found out by reading Twitter yesterday!
Colfer explains:
“Yesterday on Twitter. 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. It’s what it is. And all things come to an end. As a performer, I feel so fulfilled. I have two Emmy nominations and just from hearing from people out in the world about how much the character has helped people. If it’s time for a conclusion, I’m fulfilled with it, and I’m fine with it.”
Not very cool!
The three of them are partly responsible for the initial success of the show, so we don’t understand why Ryan wouldn’t at least honor that and give them the decency of a head’s up before telling them they were essentially fired via the press!
Although we do think this switch up will give the show a much-needed sense of realism and consistency, it’s still such a shame to know that we will have to say good-bye at the end of next season!
Sigh! Best enjoy as much of them now while we still can!
