He’s baaack! Cory Monteith went to the recording studio today to record some songs for an upcoming episode, and he was greeted by a familiar face, non other than Trouty Mouth himself, Chord Overstreet! He tweeted the photo on the left, welcoming the star back.

As we previously posted, Michael Ausiello of TV Line recently reported that Sam will be back in December, just in time for Sectionals!

Are you excited for Trouty Mouth’s return and his upcoming song!? We definitely are!

Gleeks rejoice! Chord Overstreet is in final talks to reprise his role as Sam Evans on a recurring basis. According to Michael Ausiello of TVline.com :

Assuming the deal closes — and I’m told it definitely will — Overstreet will reprise his role as the sweet, sculpted Sam beginning with this season’s eighth episode (tentatively scheduled to air in early December).

It is unclear as of yet how Sam will be re-introduced, but it will be interesting to see if, and indeed how, his return will affect Mercedes’ new relationship with current squeeze, Shane.

Are you excited to see Sam back at McKinley High?

Seems like Rory’s getting into some trouble upon his entry into McKinley! Damien McGinty’s character will not be welcomed to the halls of McKinley, according to a new photo released by Entertainment Weekly.

The photo shows McGinty’s character being shoved into a locker by the hockey players and judging by his face, he is certainly scared.

In August, McGinty spoke of his character saying that he will play a foreign exchange student that Brittany mistakes as a leprechaun.

What do you think about Rory?  Are you excited for his arc on Glee?

As most of you already know, this Tuesday’s episode “Asian F” features a storyline that showcases our favorite dancer-not-singer, Mike Chang.

The first pictures of Glee Project winner Damian McGinty‘s character, an Irish exchange student named Rory Flanagan, have popped up on TV Guide! This will be the first of his seven-episode arc, beginning November 1st.

“I am having the time of my life,” he reports. “Rory is living with Brittany, who thinks he is her own personal leprechaun only she can see. “ Sounds like Brittany alright!

Although he will receive an overall warm welcome, not everyone will be pleased with this newbie. “He does a little falsetto in his first song, and Kurt did not like that because Kurt’s the soprano of the group and doesn’t want that taken from him,” says Chris Colfer. At least they’ll still have a soprano when Kurt graduates, right?

Meanwhile, in lesbi-land, Santana (Naya Rivera) “quietly is in love with Brittany,” says Damian, “so she doesn’t like Rory because he also has a thing for Brittany.” Sounds like trouble for Brittana! “We just did a fun scene in Brittany’s bedroom,” says Damian.

So, what do you think of Damian’s character? Are you excited to see his arc? Post in the comments!

Season 3 is barely underway and we already have a treasure trove of goodies to look forward to, straight from the mouth of Ryan Murphy as reported by TVGuide. We already know that Idina Menzel’s Shelby Corcoran is coming back for a multiple episode arc, and Lauren Zizes (Ashley Fink) is quitting New Directions. Worried about Lauren being written out of the show? Don’t worry; she has a “major story with Chris Colfer” later in the season, according to Murphy.

It’s already shaping up to be a big year for Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.). Not only was he just given parents earlier in the summer, Murphy confirms that the infamously bad singer will sing at least two songs by the time the fourth episode rolls around, and that’s not a typo– he’s singing, not dancing.

And what about those promises made earlier in the summer, that there would be no more special guests, no more tribute episodes, that the Glee Project winners would get some great roles? Well, so far he’s mostly sticking to his guns. Aside from new characters played by Vanessa Lengies and LaMarcus Tinker, there are no current plans to add any more guest stars, although Gwyneth Paltrow making a return to her Emmy-award winning performance as Holly Holiday is possible later in the year. The Glee Project winners will be staggered throughout the season, with Damian McGinty arriving in the fourth episode as a foreign exchange student staying with Brittany (Heather Morris). Naturally, she “thinks he’s a leprechaun with magical powers”. Samuel Larsen will be appearing mid-season as a relative of Mark Salling’s Puck. One or both of them might still be around for the one tribute episode they’re planning this year. The details are still fuzzy and secretive, but if it works out it will be a two-hour episode in the spring dedicated to the music of an act they’ve been trying to license for the past couple years.

What’s your favorite bit of news, Gleeks? Being able to add some more Harry Shum to your iPod? More drama for Will and Emma? Seeing Gwyneth Paltrow, Damian, and Samuel back on your TV screen? Excitement for the season is already amping up, and we’re only in the first week! Share your thoughts below!

The target on New Directions’ back keeps getting bigger. They not only have to deal with rival show choirs such as Carmel High’s Vocal Adrenaline, but will also have to compete on home turf against a second McKinley High glee club!

According to an interview with Give Me My Remote, Lea Michele reveals that Shelby Corcoran played by Idina Menzel will be the coach of an unidentified McKinley glee club.

When asked about the storyline of a second glee club, Michele at first acted coy, but after a repetition of the question, Michele revealed:

Oh, yes, Shelby’s creating another glee club. My storyline hasn’t kind of connected to that yet, but I know [for] some of the other characters, it has. My storyline is sort of separate from that.

The last we heard from Ms. Corcoran was in the Glee Season 1 finale, “Journey to Regionals.” In that episode she adopted Beth and declined Rachel’s desperate plea to co-direct New Directions with Mr. Schuester. Then in mid-July, it was revealed that Ms. Corcoran would be coming back as a teacher at McKinley. It only seemed logical that she would take Rachel’s advice and co-direct New Directions.

While the intentions of the second glee club remains unclear (are they a complementary club or competition), the addition does guarantee one thing: DRAMA!

How will Rachel deal with her biological mother leading another glee club at her school? Does anyone from New Directions transfer over? Will this be the home for The Glee Project winners? Sound off below!

It looks like Glee fans have another new face to look forward to in the near future! According to Entertainment Weekly, writer and executive producer, Ryan Murphy has sent out yet another casting call in search of an ‘attractive male’ to keep consistent with the already good-looking cast.

The casting call featured some other requirements to keep consistent with the current acting talent they already have, stating:

“Young man 18 and over to play 17. He is extremely handsome. Must be an excellent singer. HUGE guest star, MAJOR recurring role.”

It looks as if Murphy is looking for some other recurring roles for the upcoming season, too, including an Ohio State football recruiter, and of course Mike Chang’s parents and Emma Pillsbury’s parents.

Do you think you have what it takes to be the next major Glee star?

Over the course of 2 Seasons of Glee, we’ve seen and heard our New Directions belt out show tunes from various beloved Broadway musicals such as Wicked and Rent. Now in Season 3, we finally get to see them partake in one.

According to an interview with the The Hollywood Reporter at Fox‘s Eco Casino Party, Lea Michele revealed that McKinley High is producing a musical that the members of New Directions will be auditioning for. When asked what musical they were producing, she would not give any specifics, but Michele revealed:

[It's a] classic Broadway musical with one female lead and one male lead.

With that being said, drama is sure to ensue as the members of New Directions fight for the leads. In regards to Rachel Berry’s main objective, Michele revealed:

[Rachel is] vying for the lead in the school musical and she has a little competition with Mercedes (Amber Riley).

Not only is competition for the female lead stiff, the competition for the male lead is just as tough, if not more. Chris Colfer‘s Kurt, Cory Monteith‘s Finn, and Darren Criss‘ Blaine are all in the running for the top honor. Yes, you read that right! Blaine is auditioning for the musical! That means Blaine will eventually make the transfer over from Dalton Academy to McKinley High in Season 3.

One person notably missing from the competition for male lead is Kevin McHale‘s Artie. Instead of participating as an actor, Artie has been credited as co-producer of the musical alongside Dot Marie Jones‘ Coach Beiste and Jayma Mays‘ Ms. Pillsbury. The trio will be holding auditions and call backs to see who they’ll cast.

Glee yet again continues its streak of arts education by informing the viewers of the hardships that accompany an entertainment production. Some of the issues sure to arise during this new story arc is the heartbreak of not getting a part and the discrimination of typecasting. Colfer reveals that typecasting might have an influence on the casting decision. In regards to Kurt’s reaction to the situation, Colfer said:

It’s a really interesting learning process that he goes through, learning that people can’t see him as anything but him.

Will typecasting play a role in the outcome? Who do you think the trio will award the lead female and male roles? What musical do you want them to produce? Sound off below!

Music producer Alex Anders was busy today! Shortly after tweeting about his studio session with Lindsay Pearce, he tweeted, welcoming The Glee Project winner Samuel Larsen to the studio.

We haven’t heard much about Samuel since the show’s finale (other than a cryptic tweet about potentially cutting his hair, likely for his role on Glee), but it’s good to see he’s making headway in the studio, and we are excited to see where the writers take his character.

What would you like to hear Samuel sing on the show?

According to a tweet from music producer Alex Anders, The Glee Project winner Linsday Pearce hit the studio earlier today to record a song for Glee. We currently do not know what character Lindsay will portray for her two episode arc on the show. Her good friend and fellow Glee Project winner, Damian McGinty, was also recently in the studio.

Sadly, it looks that way. According to Michael Ausiello of TVline:

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that Ashley Fink’s screen time will be drastically reduced following the Sept. 20 season premiere, which finds her recurring (and somewhat polarizing) character, Lauren Zizes, abruptly [MAJOR SPOILER ALERT] quitting New Directions and breaking up with her steady beau Puck (Mark Saling), who spent much of Season 2 wooing the demanding, plus-sized tough girl.

It makes sense that certain recurring cast members may appear less in season 3; with 16 series regulars and 4 Glee Project winners having to be accommodated, the writers have a tough task on their hands trying to find time for everyone.

But let us not shed a tear just yet, the new season is still in the early days of filming and less screen time does not mean no screen time! Who knows what’s in store?

All we know for certain is that Ashley Fink and her sassy, yet loveable attitude, will no doubt remain a popular favourite among Glee fans.

What’s been your favourite Zizes moment?

The first of The Glee Project winners to appear on Glee, Damian McGinty hit the studio today with director, Adam Shankman and music producer Alex Anders, who earlier tweeted this picture of the Irish singer.

Damian is set to play an exchange student named Rory, who moves in with Brittany’s family in episode 4, entitled ‘Pot O’ Gold’.

Any guesses as to what song the glee club will have Rory audition with?

After Ryan Murphy announced the four Glee Project winners two weeks ago, everyone has been anxious to see what characters Damian, Lindsay, Alex, and Samuel will play. Well, one character has been revealed and that character will be Brittany’s new roommate!

Damian McGinty will be playing a foreign exchange student Rory, who ends up living with Brittany and her family, according to reelTV. It is rumored that Santana will not take kindly to this living arrangement.

It is safe to say that plenty of one-liners will be coming from Brittany due to Damian’s strong Irish accent and that Santana will refer to Rory as “Ireland.”
