Ryan Murphy sheds light on who Kurt’s boyfriend might be on “Glee” and who he definitely will not be
Glee creator Ryan Murphy is always being bombarded with questions about what is happening next on Glee. The Emmy winner has become expert at letting us know just enough to keep us interested but not too much so that it spoils things.
There’s a lot of curiosity over the gay character of Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) and who his boyfriend is going to be this season. It was first thought that it would be the new football player played by Chord Overstreet but then word came this week that Darren Criss had joined the cast as a gay student.
Ryan cleared things up in a chat with E! Online’s Kristin Dos Santos:
“It’s definitely not Chord,” Ryan says of Kurt’s love interest. “It’s not Chord. And the new character [Darren Criss] is certainly an option. I’m not sure how soon I want to [reveal] that information because it’s such a big storyline of the year—I want there to be some surprises. But Darren has a major, major arc. He sort of becomes Kurt’s mentor and then maybe love—he had to leave his own school because of bullying and goes to an all-boys academy and finds acceptance because that school has a no-bullying, zero-tolerance policy. So Kurt really admires him and respects him. He plays someone who’s one year older than Chris’ character, so he’s the old pro.”

I never really saw Chord Overstreet as being a match for Chris Colfer’s character. Just looking at them both they don’t seem like a type match. It’s just a first impression I have. I’d lean more on Darren and Chris getting together.

Chord. What a cool F&#*$N name!
