Love It, Hate It — Glee characters to graduate in 2012

If you like the Glee characters Rachel, Finn, Quinn and/or Puck you may be disappointed to learn that the characters will graduate from the show in May 2012. The news was confirmed by Glee creator Ryan Murphy earlier this week.

“I don’t think of it in terms of eliminating or replacing,” Murphy explained. “Because I think the thing about this cast is people love them and they are incredibly talented. They’ve left sort of an indelible mark.”

He continued, “The thing that I wanted to do and the cast wanted to do, we didn’t want to have a show where they were in high school for eight years. We really wanted it to be true to that experience. We thought it would be really cool if we were true to the timeline.”

In addition to the news that a few of the beloved characters will leave the series, Murphy confirmed that Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch will remain on the show beyond season three. Meanwhile, the absence of Rachel, Puck, etc will be replaced by newcomers.

What do you think about some of the Glee characters “graduating” next season — Love It or Hate It?
