Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith Are Out Of Glee

If your a Glee fan, or as they like to be called a Gleek, then you should brace yourself because it’s been announced that three of their main stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer will not be returning for season 4 of the show.

Ryan Murphy, the executive producer of Glee, just told The Hollywood Reporter that the three stars, who play Rachel, Finn and Kurt, will graduate at the end of the upcoming third season of the show and will not be back for the fourth season.

That means that if you like this show and like those characters you still at least have one more season to watch with them walking around the halls of McKinley High and randomly singing, and destroying, songs. Ryan said:

“You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year. We’ve never done anything by the book. 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.”

He also went on to say that while he has discussed it with Colfer and Michele he hasn’t spolen about any of this with Monteith, well I guess he knows now considering it’s all over the internet.

Murphy then went on to add that the whole of season 3, which returns on Sept. 20 on Fox, will be building up to the graduation and he noted that these three characters aren’t the only ones who are facing the chop.

What do you think about this? Is it good they are being realistic, well aside from the whole bursting into song thing?
