'Glee' Creator Confirms: Everyone Is Coming Back

'I wanted to do the right thing by all of them,' Ryan Murphy tells Vulture.

Twitter is a blessing that affords celebrities the ability to communicate with fans and update on their projects. But it can also be a curse when it sparks unwanted rumors — as "Glee" star Amber Riley found out the hard way.

Gleeks thought the actress wasn't returning to the show next fall when Riley tweeted, "Just closed a chapter in my life, the only thing I've known day in and day out for three years. I'm going to miss the whole Glee family, seeing them everyday!"

When the show's creator Ryan Murphy spoke to Vulture, he dispelled the gossip. "A lot of people have been writing Dianna [Agron] off the show, Amber's off the show — they're not off the show," he said. "I think Amber was talking about that bittersweet feeling of, 'I'll never be in the choir room with that exact group of people.' ... She's excited about where her character is going. They all are. I wanted to do the right thing by all of them."

MTV News caught up with Agron before the news broke that her character was returning. The actress told us that while she's interested in the future of Quinn, she likes the story line to be a surprise.

"It's so funny, because I do write, and there was part of me that was like, 'Oh, I know these characters inside and out. What if they gave me a shot to sit in the writer's room and toy away with that?' But at the same time, it's like, 'I don't want to have any say in that.' I love the surprise element of it."

While fans need not worry about the fate of Lea Michele, Cory Monteith or Chris Colfer following reports that the show will track Rachel, Finn and Kurt's New York adventures, it's hard not to wonder what's in store for the glee-club seniors as they graduate on the season finale. With Quinn (Agron) off to Yale and Puck (Mark Salling) headed to California to expand his pool-cleaning business, some characters could get tossed to the side. But Murphy said that he told the actors if they wanted to stay on the show, he had a place for them — including Matthew Morrison's Will Schuester and Jane Lynch's Coach Sue Sylvester. "They're all coming back," he said. "Anyone who is a regular is coming back. Everyone said yes."

But he does clarify that they may not come back for the long haul. "It doesn't mean everyone will be doing 22 episodes, but everyone wants to stay in our family and our world,'" he revealed. "I wanted to make sure those actors know that if they want to have a home, they have a home. If they want to explore new and different things while also having a home, that is also an option."

"Glee" returns to Fox this fall, moving from Tuesday to Thursday nights, and is set to begin season four with a second Britney Spears tribute episode.
