MANILA, Philippines - Assuming we’re kind of leading into the Regionals at the end of the season, what kind of things are going to happen between now and then? Could you give us a little teaser about what to expect?
CHRIS COLFER: Actually we are in a heavy battle with Vocal Adrenaline, which is our competing glee club. Vocal Adrenaline is starting to see the New Directions as a threat, so they try to kind of sabotage a bit. And then we, of course, sabotage them right back. The focus in the next couple episodes are definitely on Rachel, who goes through a lot, and I would say Finn and Kurt. It’s pretty much Rachel and Finn and Kurt through the last nine. I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but Kurt has this diabolical plan of getting Finn and his dad to get married so that he can be close to Finn always.
Finn’s mom and his dad, right?
Yes. Kurt’s dad and Finn’s mom. He tries setting them up so he can be Finn’s roommate.
So his crush on Finn isn’t going away, that’s going to continue?
No, no, no. Absolutely not. It’s there indefinitely I think. I think he’ll always probably have a soft spot for Finn.
You’ve read the script. Is there a crazy cliffhanger that will leave fans at the edge of their seats?
I will say this. We got the scripts literally like nine hours ago, because we were filming until midnight last night. So the scripts literally came out like 10, nine hours ago. All I’ve had time to read was the last page, because I wanted to know how it ended. And just the last page put me in tears. In a good way.
There are a lot of Will and Emma fans out there. Do you think they will finally be satisfied by the end of the first season?
I definitely think they will be somewhat satisfied. I think Will and Emma belong together, as do Rachel and Finn. But I think they’ll be satisfied, without giving too much away.
And what about Terri? She’s been left a bit now that she’s not with Will?
I really feel sorry for Terri because poor thing, she really, really messed up. She’s definitely having the consequences now, and is really now taking a backseat to Will’s life. She tries to get back and tries to get involved, but he’s moved on.
Do you have any dream endings for your character, how the storyline will end some day?
Oh yes. I’m trying to convince the writers that Kurt needs to become the editor of Kurtins magazine, which would be kind of like a Vogue knock-off. But Kurtin had to be spelled K-U-R-T like Kurt. But I mean that probably would be like season 24 (laughter). I just want to see him happy and successful.
