Major Glee News
Way Future Spoilers Ahead.
According to several news outlets, Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee, has confirmed that after the current glee clubbers graduate from high school, they will be exit the show. The reports imply that there will be some sort of layering to this, but it seems like it will be relatively quick, with new characters being introduced along the way to replace them. Adult characters, like Will, Sue, and Emma, are most likely going to stay.
To be honest, I'm glad this is being addressed now. I love these characters, and I'm quite sure the show won't be the same as they exit, but I would much rather this happen in a realistic time frame than have it drag out unrealistically or in another setting. I don't think it would work to move these characters to a college glee club, for instance, because it would be highly unlikely for twelve people to go to the same college and have the same impact on that college's glee club. The plan is to start having current characters exit in early 2012, which if my calculations are correct would be sometime during the fourth season.
I'm not sure I'll continue to watch Glee when all this happens, but I'll be glad in a way that it doesn't drag out unrealistically. When this happens, whether I keep watching or not, I will be satisfied that Glee had a brilliant 3+ year run with these characters. They already have made their impact, and the actors that play them will continue to have great careers I'm sure. This actually will probably be good for their careers because they won't be so tied to the characters. All in all, I'm not as depressed by this news as I think I should be.
