Actor Chris Colfer says it was “weird”
returning to McKinley High.
Colfer's Kurt Hummel is returning to
his former school after spending much of the show's second season at
the Dalton Academy, where he became romantically involved with glee
club Warblers star Blaine Anderson, played by Darren Criss.
In a teaser clip released by the
network, Blaine is seen looking sad and singing Somewhere Only We
Know as he appears to say goodbye to Kurt. (The video is
embedded in the right panel of this page.)
But
in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Colfer says
it's not the end of their romance.
“They kinda of just have to deal with
more of a long-distance relationship,” he said. “I mean, it's
not like they've got anyone else to cheat with. He's around as much
as he was before.”
Colfer adds that returning to his Glee
family was “weird.”
“It was weird coming back. It was
weird. They even said, 'It's weird having you back.' I felt
like Shelley Long returning to Cheers. While I was gone, they
established all these personal jokes that I don't know what they're
talking about. So I'll be like, 'Oh this one time at Dalton ...”
