Glee casting news! Darren Everett Criss has been cast as a new gay student, perhaps a boyfriend for Chris Colfer’s character, Kurt?

Darren Everett Criss is an adorable newbie on the scene – he appeared on a few episodes of Eastwick, so it’s likely you’ve never seen him before.

Darren is rumored to play Blaine, a gay student from Darlton Dalton Academy Warblers, a rival of our William McKinley High glee stars.

The details on Blaine and Kurt hooking up are conflicting, with some reports saying, yes, while a Fox source tells E! Online: “Although people might speculate that this might be the possible boyfriend for Kurt that Ryan has talked about, he is fairly sure that this particular character won’t be. This friendship will be platonic.”
