Glee character to be killed off

By Alexandra Heilbron on May 5, 2011 | 15 Comments


Unfortunately, the rumors are true. Glee star and solo artist Matthew Morrison, who plays teacher Will Schuester on the hit show, confirmed a character death. The episode, which will be titled “Funeral,” has already been filmed and will be the second to last episode of this season, airing May 17th. Morrison further revealed that it “is no one you would probably expect,” however, filming the sad scenes were “very taxing.” Rumors have been floating around as to which character will be axed, but Morrison told fans they need not worry about him departing the show, denying that he was thinking of leaving. Meanwhile, Glee extra Nicole Crowther, who was fired from the show for revealing spoilers from the upcoming prom episode on her Twitter page, recently apologized for her mistake, telling the Los Angeles Times that she “had no idea it would blow up like this” and says she regrets spoiling the show. ~Natasha Tsakiris

    Maybe they can kill them all off, one at a time. 🙂

    That would be great if they did it Agatha Christie style, “And Then There Were None”.

    Both my kids love GLEE, and my husband and I enjoy the musical, artistic performance of many of the great artists. It would be sad to see a character gets kill off, but perhaps another great character will be introduce.

    Not a huge fan of Glee, but some characters do shine above others – I do like our Canadian Cutie Corey, but not a fan of Lea’s character – she’s just annoying. I don’t think I would mind if she kicked it.

    I think it might be Artie. PREDICTION: With Santana and Brittany together, Artie tries to get her back by doing something stupid and gets killed.

    hahahahahaha Andrea and TheTruth!!! agree!!!

    Can they kill off the show? It would make me sing.

    I sure hope it isn’t Artie as he is one of the main characters and it’s an inspiration to those with similar disabilities to have an important role in a music and dance show.

    My guess is that it’s Quinn, and then Finn and Rachel get back together. I hope I’m wrong though, because I love Dianna way more than I like Lea

    As much as I and I think many others would like to see Lea’s character killed off I don’t think it will be her. Unfortunately I think it will be Kurt’s dad. He’s had serious health issues and it would certainly make for a good but very sad plot development.

    I thought it was a typo, shouldn’t it read: “ALL Glee Characters to be killed off.”

  12. Jo-Anne • May 7, 2011 @ 10:12 AM

    haha C-Dub!

    I think it’s going to be Karofsky. I think he’s going to be outed and the resulting bullying/pressure is going to be too much. It would really be building awareness for all those fatal cases of bullying towards gay kids that have been on the news more and more frequently this past year.

    I too agree with those who would love to see Rachel killed off. She’s unbelievably annoying (and btw, playing Rachel is not too far of a stretch from the actress herself) but I don’t see it happening. I don’t think it will be any of the original kids either.

  15. TheTruth • May 13, 2011 @ 11:03 AM

    Llyod I had this same thought. Except, I think it won’t be the bullying so much as the rumor mill and his inability to cope with sexual orientation/preference.
