‘Glee’ season 4 spoilers: Ryan Murphy open to Damian McGinty return
With the news that one of the winners from season 2 of “The Glee Project” will have an arc of their own on season 4 of “Glee,” there is one question that must inevitably be asked — now that their arcs are said and done, will any of the season 1 alumni from the Oxygen reality show be back? On paper, it seems as though Samuel Larsen’s Joe and Damian McGinty’s Rory would still be students at McKinley High, at least so long as they did not go back to being home-schooled or to Ireland. In addition to that, both Harmony (Lindsay Pearce) and Wade / Unique (Alex Newell) are each still part of the show’s universe, and could turn up again if called upon in the future.
At the moment, co-creator Ryan Murphy is committing to at least one of the show’s actors coming back for another go — but is not saying who that person is. At a TV Academy event this week (one that also saw the performance below), Murphy told attendees that “some of them” would be back again for parts in season 4. Considering that McGinty, Larsen, and Newell all performed during the panel, we have to believe that these three are at least in the running. (Pretty much everyone involved in the show has already said they would love to be back so long as they are wanted.)
Even though the “Glee” cast keeps ballooning larger and larger, do you want to see the contestants from the first “Glee Project” back again in some shape or form?

go damian :) hope he gets the opportunity to further develop his character on glee in season 3. he is adorable and very talented (see celtic thunder performances), and brings something different to glee. he, however, does need a better storyline and better songs (something not vintage or slow). i hope the writers at glee can be inspired by damian and his potential. cheers :)

I really really really hope Damian is back. I would prefer if Samuel wasn’t, and the rest i couldn’t care less if they came back or not. BUT I WILL NOT WATCH GLEE IF DAMIAN IS NOT ON IT

I still don’t see the “it” factor in Samuel Larsen (& he’s not a very good actor) that peolpe say he has; Alex, he’s a great singer but anyone who watched Season 1 of Glee Project saw that not only is Alex a selfish, mean spirited & generally not nice guy, but he would be a nightmare to work with. I’m team Rory all the way. By the end of Glee’s 3rd season, Damian McGinty’s acting, singing & dancing just continued to get better & better in each episode. More Rory I say!

I think this would be a great path to take for Mcginty’-Rory role on Glee. This happens more than most people realize.

Five yrs ago my sons had an exchange student from europe. This poor kid was tormented for 2 yrs, He was a great soccer player and was hoping to get a scholarship to a college here un the US.
He was told by other students and sports players that if he continued to pursue any scholarships he would regret it. They all said that scholarships were for US citizens and he would be taking this away from one of them. He needed to go home and to bad if he had no opportunities at his country. It was so sad at how cruel he was treated. But he is at college here in US doing well.

I hope what Keni said is true and Samuel’s Joe Hart and Alex’s Unique/Wade will be back regularly in Season 4. Damian’s Rory was great too and it’d be great to see him again next year. But my preference is for more Joe Hart!

Ryan actually said “some” of the winners from Glee Project 1 will definitely be in season four. He also talked about the characters Joe Hart and Unique, and what he wants to explore for Unique next season, so I think definitely Alex and Samuel will be there. I also think more than likely Damian, although they don’t talk about Rory’s character at all (and you have to admit it’s not much of a character they created for him). Lindsay seems like she’s out of there, or if she is there it will only be for the competition episode.
