Eastwick star Darren Everett Criss has been cast in the new season of Glee.
Criss will play Blaine, a gay student from a rival glee club named the Dalton Academy Warblers, and is rumoured to be Kurt's first boyfriend. However, Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine will maintain a strictly platonic friendship for now, with the possibility of a romantic relationship later in the season, a Glee source told E!.
"Although people might speculate that this might be the possible boyfriend for Kurt that [Glee creator] Ryan [Murphy] has talked about, he is fairly sure that this particular character won't be. This friendship will be platonic," the insider said.
