A lot of details have been emerging over the last couple of days regarding season 4 of Glee. Now we’re learning that The Glee Project season 1 winner Damian McGinty will not be reprising his role as Rory in season 4.

Brad Falchuk confirmed the news during a press conference just before the panel started yesterday at Comic-Con:

“Damian is not back this year,” he said. “The second half of the season, who knows. Right now, he won’t be in the first half of the season.”

The same report says that they are trying to bring Sam Larsen (Joe) and Alex Newell (Wade/Unique) back in some capacity.

What are your thoughts about Damian not returning next season?
