Who cares that Glee's New Directions lost their
funding and had their choir room turned into a
computer lab in Season 5? McKinley High is
preparing to welcome an influx of singing
students.
According to TVLine, the Fox drama is adding
five new recurring characters to its
shortened final season, which will shift the
series' focus away from the recent New York
storylines and back to Lima, Ohio, where it all
began.
Ready to "meet" the new kids (who are
all sophomores)? Here are their character
descriptions:
Roderick: "A true goober," no one would guess
this chubby, shy kid has a voice like Otis Redding.
Spencer: McKinley's new football star with a
excellent voice who's described as "post-Glee gay,"
which apparently means that one bullies him over
his sexuality because he isn't afraid to kick their
butts. Progress?
Jane: Excluded from the Warblers due to her
gender, the "unconventionally pretty" and
"ambitious" Jane leaves Dalton
Academy and heads straight for the New
Directions. Per TVLine, she's also funny in a
"doesn't have much of a sense of humor" way,
whatever that means.
Mason and Madison: The latest addition to the
Cheerios, this pair of twins (Mason's a he,
Madison's a she) are "overly positive and super
weird." And while Mason's cheer habit and
general "gay vibe" lead many people to
make assumptions about his sexuality, he's
actually straight.
Let's hear your first impressions in the comments!
Do these folks sound like people you want to
meet?
