What will happen after glee graduation

Speaking at Comic-Con on Sunday , Glee 's other co-creator, Brad Falchuk, said, "Just because they're graduating doesn't mean they're leaving the show. So why was there confusion?

After teasing that some actors would be written off the show after their characters graduate next season, Ryan Murphy explicitly told The Hollywood Reporter that Michele, Monteith, and Colfer "are not going to be back at all for season four. So when Falchuk refuted what Murphy said, fans and critics were understandably confused. Even castmembers thought they were nearing unemployment. Glee 's producers "really need to work on their communication skills," says Becky Bain at Idolator. Is anybody leaving the cast?

Chord Overstreet, who portrayed the hunky new kid Sam last season, turned down an offer to return as a recurring character in season three, and won't be coming back at all. As for other popular characters who are presumably the same age as Rachel, Finn, and Kurt, their futures are still up in the air. Asked if her character would be back for a fourth season, Amber Riley, who plays sassy belter Mercedes, replied , "Who knows?

Will anyone new join the cast? Murphy still plans on introducing new characters who would be able to carry the series if the current stars do eventually leave. Santana runs into Mercedes and Sam in the hallway, and finds out that Mercedes has been offered a recording contract, as a back up singer, after seeing her Disco Inferno video.

She congratulates her. Santana gets worried about her future. At a dinner with her mother and Brittany, she tells them that she wants to go to New York, not Louisville.

Brittany shares that she isn't graduating either. After that she tells her mother that if Britt isn't graduating, she'll just stay in Lima. Rachel and Finn are deciding on chairs that they should have at their wedding.

Finn feels worried that she is settling for him, she tells him that she is marrying him and nothing will make her happier. Finn recollects his high school career, comparing the start to the finish. He feels that he "nailed" his Actor's Studio audition with James Lipton as his moderator. In Will's office, Finn comes to collect his yearbook after asking him to sign it. He asks him to redo it, but Will isn't sharing that he tried 10 times and ended up breaking down every time.

Before he goes to leave, Will finally tells him that he was the one to plant the Marijuana in his locker after he heard him singing in the shower in his attempt to get Finn to join glee club. Finn tells him he is so much cooler than he thought he was. Carole brings out Finn's gown and they talk about how he feels disappointed about not being able to get his father an honorable discharge. The Underclassmen and Will perform In My Life dedicated to Finn for being the one to make the club what it is now, ending in a teary performance.

Quinn is happy to find that she has ended high school where she started, on top, but with incredible friends. She feels worried about Puck and feels she needs to help her friend. In the bathroom, she gives Rachel a Metro North rail pass that will take her to New Haven, and she has one that will take her to New York so they can stay friends. Rachel expresses that she always thought Quinn was meant to be with Puck. In Quinn's room, she is trying to help Puck study until he get frustrated and hops up to leave.

Quinn tells him she loves him, as he was her first. She feels that they are bonded for life, going through what they went through. She kisses him, trying to boost his confidence. In Sue's office, Roz shares her plan to get rid of Figgins , feeling that he is an idiot.

She asks that they join forces to bring him down, but Sue doesn't say anything further about it. When Roz leaves, Quinn comes to give her uniform back. Sue gives it back, telling her she is retiring the uniform.

Sue shares that she thought Quinn reminded her of herself, but knows how different she is. Quinn hugs Sue as her way of saying goodbye, both crying.
