- According to SPOILER TV, Glee is casting 3 new recurring characters: A young 18 or older actor to play a 17-year-old handsome Gleek in a big recurring role, a “major guest star” (I thought Ryan said no on the guest stars?!). Johnny, a football recruiter with Ohio State University (a storyline meant for Finn, methinks). Technically he’s already been casted – Jack Harding is all set to play Mr. Baroody. A mad scientist new teacher at McKinley I’m guessing…but teacher of what? Place your guesses in the comments below!
- Santana is not happy about Rory (played by Glee Project winner Damian McGinty) living with Brittany.
