People keep saying this, but they're forgetting that Dave Karofsky isn't new. He wasn't even new when Ryan Murphy announced last year that there were going to be 3 new gay characters either in the back 9 episodes of season 1 or in season 2. Dave was already an established character by then.
Dave isn't new. The information that he's gay is new, but Ryan Murphy explicitly stated that there would be three new gay characters. The wording is important, kinda like how Murphy said that Idina Menzel wasn't Rachel's mother (Shelby was).
Also, it's never been explictly stated that there will be only three new gay characters. We might get more.
I was under the assumption that Strando would be a guy from the McKinley team who we've just never seen before. But I am TOTES on the bandwagon for Strando to have come from Sam's school. I would love that.
And I don't know, even if Sam is a guest right now, if Ryan Murphy has a specific story for him, I don't think it's totally impossible for them to bring in a character just for him. He's gotten an awful lot of focus already just for a guest star. I think Strando would probably interact with all the other football guys too.
"But I am TOTES on the bandwagon for Strando to have come from Sam's school"
Yay. Yeah, I want to know about la backstory, so seeing any one from former school would be cool.
He's still techniquelly listed as guest character I think, but yeah. Because really Terri and Emma are in the series much less. I think the football players will interact with Strando and the other guy too, involving team vs. team things.
I think the new guys being from another school's football team is a definite possibility though cause adding in new "actual" characters to the story would be a hot mess but Strando being gay seems super iffy. Actually both characters or either being from Sam's old school also seems super iffy to me but I want everything you've described... Sam is seriously in more episodes that some characters that are "full cast" or whatever and I love Darren but how is he gonna be full time before Chord - it hurts my brain! *headdesk*

hahaa, same here. I have had a crush on Darren Criss, ever since avpm (because of my friends ahem pushy, attempts for me to finally watch it and i fell in love). But, even with the crush and all, i still go ":/" at the news of Darren being a full time character before Chord, but as well as Harry. I love me some Mike Chang. It just isn't fair. My said friend merely jumps for joy saying, "who cares. darren is awesome!" :/
I loved this comment just because I couldn't help thinking: We didn't really know how Chord felt about the whole Sam/Kurt original storyline-whatever, but I bet he wishes he were Kurt's boyfriend now. Poor bb~ D:
I very much doubt that this will actually happen (both because Sam is a guest star himself and can't have back up characters for his storyline, and also because the superbowl episode is far too soon for anything to happen with that storyline), but I would seriously laugh if that actually happened and it could end up feeding into both thebf plotline and the popularity one.
Well, don't forget a lot of people were going "lol what if karoaskljdfa; is gay?" aka crack theory and just joking around and well, look what happened. ;) so you never know with glee writers. seriously. XD
The "possible love interest for Mercedes" theory is based on his casting call, which basically describes him as the funny fat black guy. It's not that it's not a possibility (because it totally is with the way this show treats her), but the idea kinda makes my skin crawl a little, because it's such a sizeist assumption to make. Big girl must get a big guy, boo. Just let Mercedes have hot Anthony Rashad. He's already there, he's fiiiine, he has a surname and all.
okay, i'm happy that mercedes will finally get another love interest, but yeah, i 100% agree with you on the sizeist assumption. Why don't they give her Anthony? He's been sort of introduced and he's there! :| (andhe'shotcoughcough)
PS. Sam's ex-boyfriend is Blaine. I will not accept any other truth, even if canon slaps me in the face. No. Slaine shadow on Hevans' past forever, accept no substitutes.
I'm only half-joking about Slaine. I mean. It all keeps ticking in together. Sam is hiding something out of fear of being judged for it. Both of them transferred from another school where they used to be bullied (from what Sam's storyline in the last ep implied). It just makes sense.
I don't even mean they have to have dated, they could've just been friends at That Other School. I don't know, until they're in the same physical space and don't recognize each other in the next ep, I will seriously believe their storylines have to be connected somehow. It would be just brilliant.

i've always said, that it'd be nice for blaine and sam to be tied -- ethier by a friendship or an old relationship. It would like you said, make sense. ANd also, the fact that Sam has an obsession with being popular all around, just makes you look at it, like, why so much worrying about your image sam?
