Darren Criss added to “Glee” cast in gay role!

Well this is an interesting piece of news: Entertainment Weekly reports that singer-songwriter Darren Criss will play the role of a gay student on Glee this season.

Criss, previously best known to TV audiences as Matt Dallas’ brother on ABC’s short-lived Eastwick will play Blaine—a cute and charismatic gay student from a rival Glee club named the Dalton Academy Warblers. He will maintain a strictly platonic friendship with McKinley High’s most out and proud pupil, Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer).

EW reports that the friendship could that change as the season progresses so not sure what that means for the romance we thought Kurt was going to have with the school’s new quarterback Sam (Chord Overstreet).
