Glee Season 6 Spoilers Episode 8: Meet Blaine’s Mom!
Many Glee fans have been pining to meet Blaine’s (Darren Criss) parents. Sure, we were introduced to his brother, Cooper Anderson–played hilariously by Matt Bomer–back in Season 3. But the only time Blaine mentioned a parent in a significant way, was when he confessed to Kurt’s (Chris Colfer) dad (Mike O’Malley) that he doesn’t have the close relationship with his own father that Burt and Kurt do.

Fans have wondered if Blaine is an orphan. Or an alien. Or something! But everything is about to change when we FINALLY meet his MOTHER in episode 8. According to TV line her name is Pam Anderson (GET IT?) and she sells Mary Kay cosmetics. The part is being cast as we speak.
I’m imaging a bleach blond gal in pearls. But who knows–there has been at least ONE vague reference on the show to Blaine’s “Eurasian” looks. Darren Criss’s real life mom is Filipino and fans are hoping really hard that an actress with Asian heritage–maybe somebody like Broadway actress, Lea Salonga–is cast in the part.
Perhaps introducing Blaine’s mom hints at another recent spoiler, that suggests Blaine and Kurt will be married by the time Glee wraps up its sixth and final season in March.
That spoiler also come from TV Line, which confirmed another fan-favorite couple–Santana (Naya Rivera) and Brittany (Heather Morris) will be tying the knot. All online spoilers suggest the big celebration will also take place in episode 8, rumored to be titled “A Wedding,” and that prior to the event, in episode 6, Santana will reconcile with her grandmother. (Back in season 4, Abuela tragically cut Santana out of her life after learning her granddaughter was gay.)
Other plot twists we can look forward to in the upcoming season of Glee, premiering on Friday January 9: Beginning in episode 3, a huge storyline begins that has football coach, Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones), transitioning to male, culminating in a performance by a trans choir featuring Unique (Alex Newell). In Episode 6, the cast will celebrate its 700th performance! Now that her CBS series, The Millers, is cancelled, actress Jayma Mays is free to return to Glee as Emma– Will Schuester’s (Matthew Morrison) wife, and momma to their baby boy. She was spotted on set just a couple of weeks ago in a cute photo Matt tweeted of them with the baby.
All the Glee graduates are back, on and off, throughout the season. Harry Shum Jr., finished shooting Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2, and announced that he is back on set as Mike. Dianna Agron (Quinn) and Mark Salling (Puck) will appear in a few episodes–as a couple! She wasn’t written into most of last season’s New York storyline, but Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) also returns for a few episodes. Amber Riley and Kevin McHale are back as Mercedes and Artie, respectively. Other than Alex, the only other newbie to return so far, is Becca Tobin as the sharp tongued Cheerio, Kitty. All bets are on Rachel “convincing” her to return to glee club.
The gang comes back and forth to Lima to help Rachel (Lea Michele) run New Directions. She winds up back in Lima after her TV pilot fails and through a series of events, ends up taking over the now-defunct club, despite principal Sylvester’s (Jane Lynch) opposition. Rachel partners with Kurt, who takes on the Glee club co-directorship as a NYADA internship. He’s also back in Lima to win back Blaine, after the two broke up months earlier. Blaine was so distraught after the split, he flunked out of NYADA and also found himself back in Lima, directing his old club, the Dalton Warblers. Oh. and he begins dating Kurt’s old nemesis, Dave Karofsky (Max Adler). Oh no! In the meantime, Mr. Schue takes over New Direction’s fiercest rivals, Vocal Adrenaline. The storylines are improbably cracky. But anything else, and it wouldn’t be Glee. Am I right?
Sorry I couldn’t bring you any exclusive spoilers. But I did spend considerable time putting together a 50+ gallery of Glee BTS photos. It begins with the most recent snaps. I will continue to add photos until Glee production ends in February. Thirteen episodes people…and then we’re done.
