With Comic Con just around the corner, Gleeks (or ultimate fans of the show Glee) are getting hyped for the Glee panel.  Typically Comic Con TV show panels include the show’s biggest stars.  For example, at last year’s Glee panel Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, and Dianna Agron took the stage to interact with fans.  This year, however, none of those actors will be present.  Why?  Well it’s because FOX wants to give the rest of the cast time to shine in the spotlight amongst the show’s most rabid fans.  Twentieth Century Fox Television rep: “Last year, we brought down Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, and Dianna Agron.  Because we have such a large cast and we can’t bring everyone every year, this year we decided to bring down some of the cast who didn’t get to go last summer.  So this year, Chris Colfer [Curt], Amber Riley [Mercedes], Jenna Ushkowitz [Tina], Kevin McHale [Artie], Mark Salling [Puck], Heather Morris [Brittany], and Naya Rivera [Santana] will get to experience the convention, as well as co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.”  And Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) is a no show (again) due to a scheduling conflict.  Bummer.  But it’ll be a blast to see Heather Morris live in person–she’s got great delivery (who could forget the “Dolphins are just gay sharks” line?).  With the promise of never-before-seen clips, I’m sure this year’s Glee panel will be just as memorable as the last.
