Earlier this month, “Glee” co-creator Ryan Murphy said that the three characters would be graduating at the end of the third season, which premieres this fall. “You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’ve never done anything by the book,” Murphy added. “We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea.
