You asked, the
Glee stars answered.
Prior to swinging by Fox's party at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, TVLine invited you to tweet us your questions for the cast. Without the slighest bit of further ado, here is what Lea Michele, Naya Rivera and others shared
about what's still ahead in Season 4, resuming Jan. 24.
Any hints/anticipations on the #Glee episode "Diva," especially on Santana's role and Brittana? –@cameoloverx Though she wouldn't let slip any specific song titles, Naya Rivera told me "I get to sing three songs in 'Diva,' which is a big episode for Santana" — though she is not the one and only focus of the title. "There are a
lot of divas in the episode!" she laughed. Rivera also said Santana will take on a Tina Turner tune and share "big, exciting news" soon. On the romantic front, "She's still trying to deal with the fact that Brittany and Sam are now dating," Rivera shared. "That's where her head's at."
Will we find out why exactly Tina and Mike broke up? And if they will get back together? –@lindseyannexo "That's a good question," Harry Shum Jr. nodded "We're only halfway through [the season], so I'm sure we'll find out a little more." In the meantime, it sounds like Tina might give Mike (and/or any other gentleman callers) a lot to think about on Feb. 7. "Jenna Ushkowitz has an
insane number in 'Diva,'" raves castmate Becca Tobin, who plays Kitty. "It's like her breakout performance of Season 4. She
kills it."
Can you ask if Finn and Rachel have any scenes coming up together? –@blakeandcory When I asked Lea Michele, who like the others is in the midst of shooting Episode 13 aka "Diva," if she and Cory Monteith had shot any scenes together yet, she reported, "Not yet — but hopefully soon!"
Is there any hope for Finchel fans? –@vkaro21 If the above quote didn't deflate your sails enough, you may not want to read the following. (Or maybe you
will, depending on how you wish to spin it.) "There are some really interesting Brody-and-Rachel shockers coming," Michele shared. When I asked if said "shockers" will put Finchel fans even
more on edge, she would only say: "Well, that's the exciting thing about the show — it's like a rollercoaster."
Can we hope to see some of the "old" cast join Lea [Michele] and Chris [Colfer] in NYC? –@jinayg Rivera, with a big (and oh-so-lovely) smile, hinted that Santana "maybe" will also make the move to the Big Apple. "It's a strong possibility."
Any news on Season 4 stories/arcs? –@ShowThemWhat As in, what did I hear that didn't fall into any of the above topics? Melissa Benoist said things are looking "much more hopeful" for Marley as she deals with her eating disorder, while on the romantic front the newbie will need to "step up her game and show Jake how much she cares about him." Perhaps to that end, Benoist will tackle "a Christina Perri song that I absolutely love and "is romantic.
Very romantic."
The first new episode back, "Sadie Hawkins," was a hot topic for others. Vanessa Lengies said the girl-asks-guy dance "starts off rough" for Sugar, though "she really turns it around, finds herself and she asks who she wants in the end." Kitty, meanwhile, will zero in on one fella after spending the first half of the season shopping around. "She usually does the 'Flavor of the Week' thing, but there's a strong flavor at Sadie Hawkins," Tobin told me. "I think people are going to like it. It's an unlikely duo."
Lastly, Episode 12, "Naked," focuses on the fellas as they get involved in "a little fundraiser fun for the glee club," Tobin teased. "It's very much about the boys getting buff and tanned and bronzed… Chord [Overstreet, as Sam] really spearheads the 'beefcake' number, and it's pretty hilarious."
