Glee to Add a Christian Character?

Filed under Glee TV Show News by Tinkers on 01-06-2010

As you can imagine, Glee‘s portrayal of Christians has ruffled more than a few feathers. The only outright Christian character, Quinn, was pregnant by the fourth episode, and subsequently kicked out of her house by her steadfast traditionalist father. Emma includes Anne Coulter in her list of detrimental children’s role models. Sue takes a jab at Sarah Palin. Quinn’s judgmental father watches Glenn Beck. While most applaud Glee for it’s promotion of acceptance and community, many of the show’s conservative Christian fans have yet to be gratified. So Ryan Murphy has decided to introduce a Christian character for season two.

“I’m adding a Christian character,” he says to TV Guide. “We’ve taken a couple jabs at the right wing this year, so what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognize and say, ‘Oh, look—I’m represented there, too!’ If we’re trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we’ve got to include that point of view as well.”

Ausiello:
I like the way your mind works. Unfortunately, there are no immediate plans to bring on Lea’s mom. We don’t even meet her dads in the first 13 episodes.

I can’t wait for Glee to start again! Any scoop? — Julianne
MICKEY: Question for you, Julianne. Are you as sick of the “Single Ladies” choreography as jokey Internet meme (see: hereherehere and here) as I am? That’s too bad for both of us, because it’s the inspiration for an entire episode in which Kurt joins the football team. Read the rest of this entry »
