glee-santana-gallery.jpgNow that we've finally seen "Glee's" big New York finish, it's time to look ahead to Season 3. "I am under the opinion it will be the best season," executive producer Brad Falchuk told EW. He didn't want to give too much away about his plans for next year -- he goes back to work on Season 3 at the end of June -- but he did drop a few hints.

Santana will get her coming-out story. Many people expected her to come out in the finale, but Falchuk says that he plans to devote several episodes to her story and flesh it out the way they have Kurt's.  "We knew it was going to take some time. We didn't wanna rush it. We didn't have the time to really tell that story. I'm not gonna just have her come out in the last scene of the episode. That's a big deal. We dedicated two episodes to Kurt coming out and then it went on. We want to give it some time so we're giving it some time and we're going to get into it next season."

Will and Emma are a go! "There was a Will and Emma scene [in the finale] but we had to cut it for time. The Will and Emma people can rest assured that they're both single now and he's helped her get better. There will definitely be some hot action there."

New voices! In the first two seasons, the entire writing staff consisted of executive producers Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, and Falchuk. They've finally succumbed to the idea of a writing staff. "We're trying to get a lot of quirky people and interesting people and people that are not what you'd expect. I think it's gonna help us to get some fresh voices."

More Sam/Mercedes. If you're confused as to why Sam and Mercedes are keeping their relationship a secret, you're not alone. "They have their reasons. That was something that was born out of the prom episode. We felt the chemistry there."

Grown-up Quinn, with her sassy new look. "It was all in her hair, man. It really was. All the bad juju was in her hair and she cut it all off and everything got better. It wasn't that she got over [Finn and Rachel] but I think she's just grown up. Every culture has a ritual like that where you make some sort of physical change and it transforms you inside too."

Graduation! "We have plans definitely," Falchuk says. "This is not a willy nilly thing. We have plans for stuff and it's gonna all be great."

As for the possibility of a New York based spin-off with grown-up Rachel, Finn, Blaine, and Kurt, Falchuk says, "I don't know. Like I said, I am basking in the glow of finishing. Talking about starting is way too soon."

What do you hope to see out of Season 3? More Blaine? More "Samcedes?" Santana and Brittany getting together for real? Weigh in below in the comments section.

I believe nothing. "Terri will be back full time in season two." "Terri will be back full time in season 3." Terri was in season two maybe 5 times and left town! Now, the point is not whether or not one likes Terri. My point is that the plots on GLEE seem to change with the wind, so anything longterm seems to be tenuous at best and any "promises" made by the EP equally so.

I want to see more Blaine...and a spin off with the four of them would be amazing. i hope they do that.

NEED MORE BRITTANA

Kurt used to be an enjoyable character in season 1 but then they made him an annoying, whiny and weak character in season 2 with his storyline. I feel the same is going to happen with Santana.

WOW @Linda- did you COMPLETELY miss the whole plot point of Kurt for the entire season? He was being a role model and hero for the kids that are all dying:With teenage gay suicide at such a enormous all time high in history and knowing the whole point is from kids getting bullied, the WHOLE season was socially and currently relative. They were using the show's success to HELP people in those situations, and if you don't care about America's youth dying then maybe you should watch brainless TV with no constructive educational writing like DWTS over on ABC, where you can just watch has-beens make fools of themselves like 60 year old overweight Kirstie falling on her *** and trying to do cartwheels. GLEE is for kids, and while it entertains it also presents a positive message for kids and how they should ACTUALLY behave- since no parents seem to be doing it. THAT is why the show is secretly genius and important.

Santana and Brittany, please! I miss their cute little things in the background. Adorable!

He said there would be a lot of ballads for Charice at the end of the season, two are not a lot. At the beginning of the season, they introduced two rivals for Will and Rachel, but Sunshine and Dustin just did nothing. I expected a lot of VA vs ND but.. And there is a League Of Doom, and they do nothing but help ND grow stronger. They totally ignored Will 's amazing and silky voice. Season 2 was a total disappointment!

I think that Brittany should be with Artie. Glee has made the point about LGBTs with Kurt and Blaine. The show may appeal to a wider range of audience if Glee shakes off its gay tag. Furthermore, handicaps deserve love too and that is an equally important message.
And single people can also be happy. There's no hurry to find Quinn a mate.

wemma wemma and more wemma

I think they need younger characters to start coming in to replace the older ones when they graduate. I don't see the show working outside of high school and Degrassi created a great formula of bringing in freshman and sophmore characters you could care for even when your favorites left.
