‘Glee’ season 4 spoilers: Will Damian McGinty, Vanessa Lengies reunite?
At this point, you have probably heard the exciting “Glee” season 4 news that Damian McGinty will be back for the show’s upcoming Christmas episode “Glee, Actually,” and while we do not know what the fate of Rory Flanagan will be after that, there is one thing that we can say with some certainty: the character will not be spending any time with his former crush Sugar Motta during the holiday season.
Speaking to E! News, Vanessa Lengies says that she is not going to be appearing in the Christmas episode at all, which sadly does mean that there won’t be any conclusion here to a story that began last season. It actually felt at the time like Rory was lying about his visa getting turned down in order to convince Sugar to spend more time with him; however, that turned out to not exactly be the case.
The only other surprising news here is how “Glee” can pretty much throw in every single guest star known to man for “Glee, Actually” (including McGinty and even Jessalyn Gilsig’s Terri Schuester), but not find a way to include Sugar in at least some sort of background role. Then again, her once-promising part has been one of the most criminally underutilized roles on the show. The fact that she cannot really sing has been all but ignored over the past year or so, as is the fact that she comes from a rich family and that could help New Directions go a long way.
Even if you are upset about the absence of Sugar this Christmas, do you at least wish that they would show more of Sugar with Artie? We want to hear your thoughts below! If you want to see what Chris Colfer has to say about this holiday special, you can do so over at the link here.

Well, so now we’ve seen the Christmas episode, and Damian did in fact have a couple of nanoseconds of screen time. It’s almost hysterically funny to note that the episode aired the day after Damian’s solo EP was released and hit #5 on the American iTunes charts——and Glee didn’t even have him sing a note!! Proves to me that Glee has absolutely no clue what they had in Damian, nor sufficient writing or producing talent to recognize it.

The Alex Newell/ Rachel Berry Show leaves NO room for the development of such interesting characters as Miss Sugar and Rory Flanagan. The Glee producers are more interested in Rachel’s NY sexcapades and how Lima, Ohio embraces a “spanks” wearing drag queen wanna-be(or whatever Unique’s aspirations are.) The comedy and charm that could be reaped from the pairing of Sugar and Rory just isn’t relevant in Mr.’s R., I. and B.’s world. They see everything through a different lens and the relationship between these two these, as a result, has been deemed expendable. Half of last season was spent hinting that there was a good story line being developed for these two. What a crying shame it apparently has been completely abandoned. Glee, you’re quickly going down the proverbial dumper and your plot-lines are proving to be too screwy for even the most die-hard fans.I don’t equivocate…stop what you’re doin’ and MODERATE! Come back to planet Earth Mr. Murphy.

Well, it will be interesting to watch whatever brief moment of time Glee grants Damian McGinty, although casting him as Artie’s guardian angel in a “It’s A Wonderful Life” take-off seems to be just more of the same lame writing problem that has plagued the show with respect to Damian. As to Sugar, that character was the only one on the show more cartoonish than Rory, so it doesn’t much matter whether she’s in a particular episode or not.
