Glee: Kristin Chenoweth Won't Be Returning

Kristen Chenoweth is bummed about not returning to Glee but "gets" why Ryan Murphy's ban on guest stars is necessary:

Via Zap2it:

"I think he's trying to get his show back," Chenoweth tells Zap2it. "I think he's trying to really concentrate on his characters. I actually understand that. I get it. People want to see those characters."

The show did get some criticism during its recently-wrapped second season for putting too much emphasis on guest stars (like Chenoweth and Gwyneth Paltrow) and tribute shows to specific musicians rather than on the show's cast of regular characters.

Still, if ever a guest star fit in, it was Chenoweth. Sadly, it looks like we won't see her back at McKinley High for at least one season.

"Of course it's a bummer for me because I love April Rhodes," says Chenoweth. "But he needs to get his show back, so I get why he's doing that.

The no guest star rule is actually a plan I can get behind. I hated all the episodes dedicated to Gwyneth and April. They were the more boring ones. I really hope we get more episodes dedicated to Amber, Kevin and Jenna.
