In
an interview with Time Out Chicago, Darren Criss said his
romance with Chris Colfer on the Fox musical-comedy Glee is
solid.
Criss' out-and-proud Blaine Anderson
began romancing Colfer's Kurt Hummel during the second season of the
hit show. Before the curtain fell on the season, the choir boys
declared their love to each other.
But any Gleek knows love at William
McKinley High is often fleeting and what fans want to know is will
Blaine and Kurt stay together.
When asked if the couple will become
more intimate next year, Criss answered: “Something as big as gay
teens on television, you gotta take things a step at a time. I'm
just interested in their relationship. I really hope that they can
continue to learn from each other and grow as people.”
And when the interviewer insisted that
his character's relationship had been de-sexualized, Criss defended
the couple as the show's most solid union: “Um, honestly, no, I
disagree. I don't see that. I see them as the standout couple that
is much more solid than some of the other relationships, and to make
any big jumps from that could potentially dismantle the security they
have.”
