Dear Sinners, remember a while back when I posted about Chris Colfer, Lea Michelle, and Cory Monteith's departure from McKinley High this season, if not just scroll down I'm sure it's still there. Well, their characters' "graduation" from Glee left many gleeks in a frenzy, but also held the prospect of a spin-off- which filled fans with a giddy sensation that only Rachel Berry in colourful knee-high socks could create.
Well, sorry fellow gleeks cause it turns out our spin-off dreams are dunzo. In a dramaful turn of events, it seems that Ryan Murphy, co-creator of Glee, was actually planning on a spin-off focusing on the three main characters. But after Colfer gave an interview insisting he was fired from the show, and even worse that he found out through Twitter, Murphy axed the spin-off plans.
Murphy insited that all three actors knew about their characters' graduation, and even knew about the spin-off. He said in an interview "None of them were fired. It was never about that. We were going to do a spin-off where the three of them were going to go on. They all knew what was happening, they all had approved it, they all said they wanted to do it."
So after Colfer's comments Murphy and his team ended the spin-off plans saying Colfer's comments "[weren't] exactly cool."
In my opinion, maybe this isn't a horrible thing. Yes, it isn't really fair to punish Lea Michelle and Cory Monteith for Chris Colfer's comments, and btw I'd love to hear is side of the story. And the idea of a Glee spin-off does seem amazing, but perhaps it'll be too much Glee. Let's get real wouldn't it be annoying to have a carbon copy of Glee?
What's your thoughts? are you devastated by the cancelled spin-off? Do you really even care?
