Chord Overstreet, who played Sam Evans on Fox’s popular TV show, “Glee,” will not be returning as a series regular next season.
Overstreet’s character was originally supposed to be Kurt Hummel’s (Chris Colfer) love interest, but the writers changed the character’s orientation due to his chemistry with Diana Agron who plays Quinn.
Blaine, played by Darren Criss ended up becoming Kurt’s boyfriend, and has been upgraded to a regular cast member, along with Harry Shum Jr., who plays Mike.
Late Friday, Overstreet Tweeted, saying, “It’s been a good year. Too bad it’s over. Time for summer and starting fresh.
According to sources, Overstreet may return as an occasional guest star.
