When it comes to portraying these characters, it was imperative that they had the right actor to do so. One of the reasons that Glee was so successful is because of how well-received their characters were, and by casting actors that were able to portray these roles with honesty, it allowed fans to connect to them.
When fans connect to a character properly, it is a beautiful thing. For example, the way that fans connect to a character like Kurt is not by accident, it was all done by the writing and performances of Chris Colfer. If anyone else had been put in the role, or if the episodes were written differently, the fan response would have definitely changed. Thankfully, characters like this were allowed to flourish over the years to the point where they became synonymous with the show, making it very difficult to imagine what Glee would be like without Kurt.
On the other hand, some characters never develop that connection with the audience. The audience does not choose to connect with the character or not, sometimes, it's just not possible. This means that if that character were to leave the show, no one would really notice. In fact, their departure may actually make the show better. While this is a difficult position for the actor and writing staff to be in, they need to make tough decisions for the benefit of the show.
The question is, where are your favorite characters? There was no greater loss to Glee than when Cory Monteith passed away in He had been the star of the show since the pilot episode and was one of the most relatable members of the cast. The story of a quarterback befriending less-popular students and becoming a part of the New Directions was one that fans attached to. The fan connection to Finn was one of the most heart-warming parts of the show, and he was instantly missed.
While Ryan Murphy 's handling of Monteith's passing in the show should be commended, the show was never the same after he left. Other cast members tried to fill the leading-man void, but they were not able to.
And while fans have always enjoyed characters like Sam, not even he was able to fill Monteith's shoes. Introducing new characters to a show is always a dicey-affair. By the time that Sugar showed up in the third season, fans already had a connection to the members of the New Directions. It was already likely that fans would not take to a new character very well, but it did not help that Sugar rubbed everyone the wrong way.
From the moment she appeared on the screen, fans were irritated and annoyed. In fact, she was even named one of the most annoying characters on television in While characters like Rachel and Artie were on the show from beginning to end, Sugar's run only lasted twenty-six episodes. However, by the time she left her role as a recurring member of the cast, fans were more relieved than hurt. Even her appearance during the final episode of Glee was enough to make eyes roll. Glee began a trend where they introduced a big-name singer for their competition performances.
The first singer to start that trend was Charice, who was brought in as Sunshine Corazon in season two. As a potential New Directions member who was driven to Vocal Adrenaline due to Rachel's jealousy, she was only given three episodes on the show, but she deserved a lot more.
Bringing Sunshine back would have opened up a lot of possibilities since Glee was a show that celebrated diversity, and Charice's story went hand-in-hand with that message. Following her stint on the show, Charice announced that she would be transitioning to a male and is now known as Jake Zyrus.
Considering that the show explored transitioning stories in their later seasons, it would have been a perfect time to introduce Jake to the world.
Some characters only exist to enrage the audience, and no one did a better job at that than Terri Schuester. From the moment she first yelled at Will, she became the most hated person on the show.
Terri's willingness to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, as well as her lack of empathy made her a great villain, but did not endear her to any of the fans. While every show needs a good villain, Terri's shtick had ran its course by the time she left the show.
Creator Ryan Murphy has stated in the past that he wants the show to stay true to the high school time line. Meaning that new kids will have to be brought in and older cast members will have to graduate.
Murphy said : "I don't think of it in terms of eliminating or replacing. 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. Chris Colfer sang "Mr. Cellophane" from "Chicago". Kevin McHale sang The Beatles. By the end of the first season, Morrison, Michele, Colfer, and Riley had performed their songs on the show. Mays sang hers in the second season. Lea Michele and Cory Monteith were dating in real-life.
Much of the main cast of this show, performed for President Barack Obama , his family, and the approximately thirty thousand children and parents in attendance at the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 5, Malia Obama and Sasha Obama , the daughters of President Obama, were in the front row to hear the concert. However, they have since filed for divorce. Fans of the show refer to themselves as "Gleeks". The show embraced this and season two billboards and bus ads encouraged fans to "Gleek Out".

The restaurant the characters frequent is called BreadstiX. Series Creator Ryan Murphy previously made a high-school themed show called Popular , which featured the students congregating at a restaurant called "Croutons".
Guest star Kate Hudson allowed Lea Michele to stay at her house following Cory Monteith's death so Michele could grieve without being bothered by paparazzi or being surrounded by memories of Cory. Artie is named for Brad Falchuk 's friend Arthur Stroyman, who was a jock who never understood the artsy kids in school. Seasons two and three contain the most regulars, with fifteen, while the final season contained the lowest regulars, with nine.
The Journey song "Don't Stop Believin'" is sung a total of six times throughout the course of the show. The original idea of this show was inspired by Ian Brennan 's own experience as a member of Prospect High School's show choir. It was supposed to be a movie instead of a television series. Brennan wrote the first draft in August , and completed it in the same year.
The script, however, did not receive any interest from producers at that time. Michael Novick , a friend of Brennan's and a television producer, later gave Ryan Murphy a copy of Brennan's script, as they are members of the same gym.
Murphy joined show choir when he was young, and thus related to the script. Murphy and Brad Falchuk suggested that Glee should be produced as a television show. Therefore, the three joined together and re-wrote the script.
The re-written script was sent to FOX, and picked up immediately. The three decided to write all of the episodes by themselves. Novick also became a Producer of this show.
Ryan Murphy would publicly ball out rock stars who did not let him use their music for the show; saying they were depriving the teen audience of enjoying the music on this show. Many rock stars said they felt bullied by this. Ironically, in a show that is so anti-bullying. Schuester Matthew Morrison says that he was a freshman when April Rhodes Kristin Chenoweth was a senior in high school. In real-life, Chenoweth is ten years older than Morrison.
Even though she received principal billing, Dianna Agron was the last person to be cast. Heather Morris was originally brought in to teach Jenna Ushkowitz and Chris Colfer the "Single Ladies" dance from season one, episode four , but was later hired to play the role of Brittany.
